Heavy Metals Remediation

Heavy Metal remediation involves stabilization technology which converts toxic heavy metals into a safe, naturally occurring state. This proprietary stabilization system uses additives and reagents to convert heavy metals from their toxic leachable form into natural, non-leachable forms or apatite.

The end product is a harmless, naturally occurring form which can then be incorporated into the foundation of buildings, safely transported off-site or used as construction debris monofill.

Our process adds marginal volumes (1%-5% increase) compared to standard stabilization methods (30%-50% increase) reducing on site set up, equipment costs, and when moved off site, reduced transportation and disposal fees.

In our experience this process saves between 30%-60% compared to conventional stabilization costs.

One time physical contact with contaminants is all that is required rendering our system ideal for in-situ remediation. Combined with our cutting edge injection technology remediation is assured.

Our Metal Stabilization process is effective on many contaminants. Our process is effective on but not limited to:

Lead

        Soils - tills, clays, fine sands, coarse sands, loam, silts, etc.

        Wastewater Sludge - plumbing fixture mfg., TV tube mfg.

        Sediments - river & lake bottoms, settling basins

        Mineral processing waste - tailings, media separator bottoms

        Battery recycling debris

        Primary smelter slag(eg. TCE, PCE)

        Secondary smelter slag

        Steel electromelt furnace dust (K06 1)

        Petroleum refinery sludge - K048, K05 1, K052, tetraethyl lead

        Mirror mfg. waste

        Target range backstop soils

        Automobile recycling 'shredder fluff'

        Wire chop 'fluff'

        Foundry sands

        Paint sandblasting debris

        Scrap yard soils and storm water runoff basin sediments

        Municipal waste incinerator ash

        Abrasive mfg. debris

Cadmium

        Wastewater sludge - battery mfg.

        Wastewater sludge - printed circuit board mfg.

        Lead and zinc ore processing waste

        Automobile “shredder” fluff
