System and Method for Remediation of Oil-Contaminated Sand 12/30/2017

The system and method for remediation of oil-contaminated sand provides for washing and separation of sand from oil and oil-based contamination. The system for remediation of oil-contaminated sand includes a soil washing system for receiving a volume of oil-contaminated sand. The soil washing system mixes the volume of oil-contaminated sand with water to produce a mixture. This mixture is then delivered to a sand separator for separation into a volume of treated sand and a volume of oily wastewater. A flocculation tank receives the volume of oily wastewater. In the flocculation tank, the oily wastewater is mixed with at least one coagulant to separate the oily wastewater into treated water and oily sludge. A sludge hopper receives the oily sludge for collection. A treated water tank receives the treated water for collection and storage.
