Chemical Waste Disposal
The remediation, disposal and long term storage of chemical waste is, at its most elementary, a nasty business. To its credit, the Canadian government has instituted industry standards and protocols that have ensured an almost flawless record by the chemical disposal industry.
Chemical waste disposal starts at retrieval. Until then, the producing companies are required by law to maintain the standards set by Canadian governmental regulations. Once delivered and sequestered in a certified HazMat vehicle, responsibility for the hazardous waste shifts to the disposal company.
Until properly treated, the transporting company is obligated to manage the chemical waste as hazardous material. Depending upon the exact make-up of the hazardous material, various physical and chemical treatments are necessary to physically transform the waste product into a more benign and easily handled compound. The chemical waste disposal company has various treatment and storage options.
Recycle / Reuse
The first step in the chemical waste disposal process is to recover as many useful compounds as possible. This process reduces the amount of hazardous waste and yields significant economic benefit. Recycling involves the recovery and purification of used materials into new ones in order to prevent the waste of any potentially useful materials. Reuse involves the delivery of used product, as is, so that the materials can be used again in the manufacture of subsequent products.
Incineration
Incineration is the simple combustion of hazardous and non-hazardous waste to reduce the overall mass and thus facilitate subsequent long term storage of the residue. Capture of the noxious gases and particulates produced is an integral part of this process.
Incineration is applicable to liquid as well as solid waste.
Waste to Energy
Certain waste products combust at particularly high temperatures. As such, they are specifically appropriate for use as fuel at cement plants, aggregate kilns, industrial furnaces and incinerators. Alternatively, waste streams that burn at lower temperatures can be consumed at electrical power plants. In both cases, the overall amount of waste material is significantly reduced and is thus more easily stored in the long term.
Stabilization / Landfill
Some materials do not readily lend themselves to incineration or economical chemical transformation and thus remain extremely dangerous. Instead, the strategy is to render these compounds into more compact, stable and easily transportable forms. Subsequent transport and storage is thus facilitated. Solidification, or the encasement of hazardous material in concrete for easier underground storage is one such example. In other cases, the waste is simply sequestered in secure, environmentally isolated landfills.
Deepwell Injection
Some intransigent waste materials do not allow for minimization or solidification. Instead these, typically liquid, materials are substantially diluted and then injected into porous pockets deep inside the earth. Impermeable rock strata surrounding these pockets isolate the hazardous material from the surrounding areas.
