Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices for decontaminating a contaminated feedstock. Water is mixed with the contaminated feedstock and fed to a reactor to hydrolyze contaminants from the contaminated feedstock. After hydrolyzing contaminants, acid is then added to the mixture of water and feedstock to acidulate contaminants. Acidulating contaminants after hydrolyzing contaminants reduces or prevents the formation of foulants. The hydrolysis and acidulation of contaminants reduces the concentration of contaminants within the contaminated feedstock to produce a clean feedstock.
