A process is provided for vaporizing volatile contaminants present in soil and removing the contaminant vapors. The process involves heating the soil by passing current between electrodes buried in the soil and simultaneously injecting water through the electrodes to transfer heat by convection. The coupling of electrical heating with heat transfer by convection improves the efficiency and uniformity of heating. The contaminant vapors are removed by applying suction at extraction wells positioned between the electrodes.

Electro-thermal dynamic stripping process

The tool comprises one or more core-coil assemblies,jacketed in an non-magnetic and electrically insulating, tubular outer housing,,The housing enables high power transfer efficiency. A structural skeleton,extends longitudinally through the tool for axially reinforcement. The core-coil assemblies,are encapsulated in epoxy,to mechanically rigidify and protect them as well as to isolate the coil windings,from the power bus,extending longitudinally of the core-coil assemblies through a peripheral busway
