ABSTRACT:
A portable ground soil remediation apparatus and method utilizing a water and biodegradeable soap mixture to result in an safe solution to effectively remove crude or refined oil from the soil, as well as the toxins associated with this type of contamination. The present invention includes at least one elongated, rotatable chamber filled with the soap mixture and having internal lifting means to pick up soil and provide cleansing with the soap mixture. Additionally, a means for injecting fluid is placed within the chamber to provide additional cleansing capability and to replenish the soap mixture. The present invention is adapted to allow effective soil movement through at least one soil cleaning chambers, which minimizes wear due to the lack of internal blades and other moving components.
