Case Study
STARx (Ex Situ) Reactor and ‘Hottpad’ Soil Pile Systems
Overview Similar to in situ STAR, STARx is based on smoldering combustion where the contaminants/waste materials are the source of fuel. The process is self-sustaining following a short duration, low energy input ‘ignition event’, such that the energy of the reacting contaminants is used to pre-heat and initiate combustion of contaminants in the adjacent area, propagating a combustion front through the vessel, provided a sufficint flux of
