Large-Scale Thermal Remediation of Hydrocarbon-Impacted Soils Along an Urban Canal

More than 10,000 m³ of soils impacted by hydrocarbons and PAHs were successfully remediated through seven Ex-Situ Thermal Treatment batches, establishing a benchmark for thermal remediation performance, operational efficiency, and energy optimization.
