Thermal Treatment Capabilities

Our Thermal Treatment technology accepts several types of non-hazardous waste, including:

  • Non-hazardous petroleum 

  • PFAS/PFOA contaminated soil and sediment  

  • Treatable granular media

Lined Storage and Treatment Areas

With approximately two acres of lined storage and treatment areas, contaminated material is stored on site, placed on a membrane liner and, in accordance with ADEC guidelines for thermal soil treatment, and is covered until treated. 

The Thermal Treatment Process

  1. Ensure materials are non-RCRA or RCRA exempt 
  2. Inject contaminated soil into a kiln 
  3. Heat the soil to 800-1200ºF 
  4. Draw gas vapors and particulates into secondary combustion chamber to destroy PFAS compounds with 1500-2000ºF temperatures 
  5. In the cooling tower, spray gases and particulates with water to cool to 350ºF 
  6. Cool exhaust gases in quench duct before they enter scrubber 
  7. Neutralize exhaust gases using caustic solution 8. Exhaust gases through a stack on top of scrubber
