Acid Tar Fluidization
Utilizes a patent pending technology for fluidizing acid tars and removal for incineration. Process conducted in conjunction with Rhodia’s technology for regeneration of valuable raw materials.
Asbestos/Lead Abatement
Appropriately trained personnel utilized to remove asbestos containing materials and containerize for disposal. Lead containing coatings are sandblasted and appropriately contained for disposal
Beneficial Reuse
Utilization of proven technologies to assist clients in the management of by-products (i.e., biosolids, lime, wood ash, short wood fiber, etc.) to render a material suitable for utilization in agricultural and road base applications.
Civil Remediation
Excavation – Direct mechanical removal of contaminated soils and transfer to disposal facility
Closure – Removal or stabilization of contaminated materials to meet regulatory requirements and placement of impermeable cap and topsoil suitable for supporting vegetative growth
Decontamination/Demolition
Capable of providing the necessary equipment and manpower to effectively decontaminate facility equipment and structures and/or remove materials and equipment for appropriate disposition. Operators are experienced in the operation of various size hydraulic breakers and shears.
Dredging
Capable of removing suspended sediments at rates from 500 gpm to 4,000 gpm. Dredge systems consist of hydraulically operated horizontal augers to dislodge and consolidate sludge/sediments.

Landfill Construction and Management
Installation of compacted clay and/or geosynthetic liners complete with leachate collection system. Can provide management of existing landfills by spreading and covering waste as needed.
Solidification/Stabilization
Utilize various reagents to stabilize contaminants and render material suitable for transportation and disposal. Can be used during impoundment closures for material to remain in place.
Total Tank Solution
Utilization of pumps, robotics, vacuum trucks and/or mechanical equipment to remove tank solids. Solids may be dewatered to reduce the volume or direct loaded for disposal. Final cleaning may involve hydroblasting in preparation for inspection and repairs.
Waste Volume Reduction/Dewatering
Recessed Chamber Plate and Frame Filter Press – Used to reduce the overall volume of sludge for disposal by reducing the amount of water entrained in the material. This process is conducted on a batch basis. We utilize mobile presses with capacities of 100 cubic feet.
Belt Filter Press/Centrifuge – Used to reduce the volume on a continuous basis. Can be equipped with thickeners to enhance the production.
Screw Press – Utilized in the pulp and paper industry to effectively dewater solids.
Water Treatment
Experienced personnel have the capability to construct and install wastewater treatment systems to accommodate a variety of waste streams. Appropriate treatability studies can be conducted to determine the chemical treatment requirement and ensure equipment is sized correctly.
