ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for treating soil contaminated with hydrocarbons by breaking up the soil into discrete particles and passing the particles through an open flame to cause the volatile substances in them to vaporize and burn. The apparatus is preferably portable and provides for continuous processing of the contaminated soil on-site so that it can be immediately returned to the ground free from contamination.
