The present invention is devised to facilitate the treatment, by biotic or abiotic means, of a permeable mass of mixed or selected materials, gathered within a refillable containment. The purpose of such treatments is to obtain either a physical and/or chemical change in the composition of the mass and/or contaminants within it, by the manipulation of biotic and abiotic activity in the subsurface environment. The invention is an adaptation of the SBS Close Lance system contrived for the decontamination of polluted soil. Such a system, when fitted to a suitably constructed refillable containment may be used to compost and decontaminate remediable materials by promoting and exploiting biotic and abiotic activity. The principal users of the invention will be those involved with the ex-situ treatment of remediable materials including soils, refuse, wastes, drilling muds and minerals. A widespread benefit will be the composting of waste prior to alternate use by recycling. |
