Asbestos Disposal Technology

About

As land values grow, the rate of landfill site closures and costs associated with disposal increase. The construction industry is generating increasing volumes of hazardous asbestos waste thus landfill disposal costs are set to escalate dramatically. Millions of tonnes of asbestos is being disposed of throughout the world every year, over 280,000 tonnes annually in the UK alone. The UK company identified that there was a gap in the market for solutions to effectively and safely dispose of asbestos. The company that has worked in the area of waste disposal since 2006 has worked with the developer of this thermochemical conversion technology (“TCCT”) and has now purchased the world wide patents for the treatment. The thermochemical treatment unit consists of a modular system including a waste preparation operational area, primary waste convertor, emission control system and a product handling system. The waste preparation system conditions the waste for introduction into the primary waste converter. In the converter, the waste is subjected to conditions that result in complete destruction of asbestos fibres in a very short period of time. The emission control system assures that the system complies with all regulatory standards and offers superior protection of the public and the environment. The volume of waste is typically reduced by 50 to 90 per cent depending upon the type of waste processed. The treated product is then discharged from the primary converter and transferred to temporary storage containers pending confirmatory analysis. The company owns the global intellectual property for this leading thermochemical conversion technology, The company are offering bespoke sublicensing agreements with territory exclusivity.
