[[Thermal Desorption]] is described in the [[EA]] guidance 382_12 as ''a treatment process whereby heat is applied to materials, such as waste soils, [[sediments]], [[slurries]] and [[filter cakes]], in order to remove (vaporise) volatile contaminants (e.g. [[oils and solvents]])<ref name='EA'>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/300893/geho0512bwir-e-e.pdf [[EA]] Guidance 382_12 (an addendum to Guidance S5.06)]</ref>. | [[Thermal Desorption]] is described in the [[EA]] guidance 382_12 as ''a [[Treatment|treatment]] process whereby heat is applied to materials, such as waste soils, [[sediments]], [[slurries]] and [[filter cakes]], in order to remove (vaporise) volatile contaminants (e.g. [[oils and solvents]])<ref name='EA'>[https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/300893/geho0512bwir-e-e.pdf [[EA]] Guidance 382_12 (an addendum to Guidance S5.06)]</ref>. | ||

There are two principle types of approach to introducing heat to the process - either through direct application of heat or indirect application of heat. Sources of indirect heat include natural gas or oil fired burners, thermal oil, electrical (eg infra-red or microwave) and friction<ref name='EA'/>. | There are two principle types of approach to introducing heat to the process - either through direct application of heat or indirect application of heat.
