What’s New
The new Wet Extraction Soil Treatment and Recycling “WESTAR” process unit is now finishing assembly at our Odessa facility. This adds a whole new phase to development of our highly contaminated (> 50,000 mg/kg +), high capacity (60 tons per hour thru 240 tons per hour) soil abilities with the addition of oil recycling and recovery from sand and soil. This unit is ideal for recovery at “blowout” and storage pits, tank bottoms and other high contaminant environments.
Overview
EarthWorks is the designer and manufacturer of ex-situ soil processors that utilize the proprietary Matrix Enhanced Treatment System/METS technology. Our line offers a variety of soil processing/remediation equipment ranging in throughputs of 40 tons to over 320 tons of contaminated soil per hour.

METS Advantages
METS is the best choice for any ex-situ soil contamination problem because:
METS is fast, reliable and effective on site. We don’t haul off or cap the soil – we actually destroy/treat the soil contamination at the molecular level for reuse on site in a fraction of of the time from any other type of environmental equipment including thermal or soil washing. We can use either bioremediation or oxidative chemistry to completely destroy the contaminant quickly and safely at minimum cost to the PRP or your client.
METS saves you money. Our on site process costs considerably less than “haul off” (typically about 35% to 40%) and presents even greater savings in both time and dollars from thermal or soil washing.
METS is designed to offer property owners permanent relief from actual and contingent liability. On site contamination and liability is treated and gone now, generating a savings in today’s dollars. This avoids the long term effects of “haul off” liability to be dealt with at a later time at higher cost.

METS Process Equipment
The current line of EarthWorks-manufactured remediation systems includes four configurations, ranging in processing capacity from 40 to 320 tons of soil per hour.
Our 3 basic configurations are based on a similar structural platform, which has been specifically designed for easy transport by trailer or for loading into a standard 20 foot shipping container for long distance deployment. In addition, all configurations are powered by Perkins diesel-powered engines, which provide power for the soil processing mill — where steady, reliable power is key to thorough treatment of embedded contamination.
All configurations include self-propelled, radio remote-controlled movement (i.e., forward/reverse) and steering. In addition, certain configurations include (standard or extra-cost option) an operator station near one end of the hopper for optimal control and supervision of system operation.
Our 3 basic machines use a 4-wheel configuration for enhanced maneuverability. Our largest capacity machine come with dual loading stations, perfect for those large projects that require greater maneuverability.
Larger capacity machines come equipped standard with a larger hopper opening, in order to accommodate use of big capacity front-end loaders. All configurations come with a speed-adjustable main conveyor system for transporting contaminated soil from the hopper to the soil processing mill. In the our largest capacity machines, speed adjustment can be performed from the operator control station without having to stop operations.
Except for the Eureka, all configurations come either standard or optional with a second conveyor for attachment beneath the soil processing mill. This conveyor makes it possible to deposit remediated soil in stacks up to eight feet high (six feet for the Coloma). The Empire comes with two conveyors that are equipped for radial movement, making it possible to build remediated soil stacks to the side as well as to the rear of the processing mill.
The soil processing mill in all configurations comes equipped (standard or extra-cost option) with a Star Wheel bar in addition to the main processing wheel. This design allows the processing mill to operate efficiently in even the most difficult soil conditions and compositions. In the larger capacity machines, this Star Wheel comes equipped (standard or extra-cost option) with its own hydraulic drive system to further boost operating efficiency.
All configurations include multiple remediation fluid injection systems (either dual or triple). This makes it possible to inject more than one remediation treatment formulation (chemical or microbial) into the soil at the same time, or to provide a higher proportional volume of a single formulation, as required for a given contaminant situation.
Finally, the larger capacity configurations come with an optional “built-in” system for measuring the weight of soil being processed. This makes it possible to accurately track throughput and processing totals by weight rather than, or in addition to, standard volume measurements.

This was our small concept prototype the “Eureka 30″
and to date this machine has been used to successfully treat over 10,000 tons of soil and closed 5 sites. This site R & D provided ideal “real world” data to design and manufacture our multi-sized full production units. We have now increased the output of our smallest unit, the “Eureka 40″ to 40 tons per hour and is a 4 wheel self- propelled unit.
