I'm looking some advice regarding #2HFO properties.

I've predominently dealt with lighter hydrocarbons, kerosene and petroleum in ground remediation.

I'm wanting to try and use hydrated or quick lime to mix with aggregare sodden with #2 HFO then subsequently mix with concrete/mortar for fixation to allow aggregate to redeposited to ground (NB within a large power plant site, therefore higher remedial threshold values).

The exothermal process of lime being added should sufficently allow lighter volitile present to be discharged leaving behind the heavier less volatile depsoits in-situ to be mixed with the impending concrete.

Is there anything further that anyone could suggest regarding the application of hydrated or quick lime to HFO sodden aggregate?

Cheers

Norni
