Inert landfill from premium-price aqueous-oily waste and contaminated soil

Dealing with aqueous-oily waste and contaminated soil

  • Traditional in-tank cracking and disposal methods are difficult under current legislation
  • Disposal to landfill is prevented by hazardous-waste legislation
  • Diluting with non-hazardous waste is prohibited
  • Incineration costs are high and require large-scale operations

Tightening legislation leaves few viable, cost-effective options.

Why select MCS on-site treatment

  • Creates the opportunity to accept premium-price hazardous waste
  • Safe
  • Produces inert soil suitable for landfill or low-grade reuse (as defined by the EU Landfill Directive waste acceptance criteria)
  • Does not need an incineration licence (it is a non-incineration process)
  • Recovers up to 99% of hydrocarbons
  • All volatile and semi-volatile contaminants can be treated, including
    • Hydrocarbons
    • Chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene
    • Mercury
    • Pesticides
    • Mixed waste and low-level radionuclides
    • Pentachlorophenol and wood-preserving chemicals
    • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
    • Polychlorinated biphenyls
  • Cost-effective
    • On-site (non-incineration) treatment
    • Low operational costs
    • Mechanically simple and operationally robust units mean low maintenance costs
  • Portable, compact modular units
  • Rapid mobilisation and set-up

Regulations are moving towards the application of non-incineration methods where these are available. New legislation is also likely to allow the declassification of waste. Using MCS units can protect your business by

  • Creating new opportunities from hazardous waste
  • Keeping you ahead of tightening legislation
  • Enabling you to take advantage of new legislation.
