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.
