We provide highly effective, straightforward, and scalable treatment processes, along with innovative technologies for managing diverse waste streams. Our research and development laboratories (R&D Labs) are located within all our licensed and permitted waste treatment facilities, enabling us to develop solutions that are not only effective but also practical and economical for our customers.

Perma-FAS, our advanced PFAS destruction technology, eliminates over 99.9999% of PFAS compounds at mild temperatures without damaging other organics. It ensures strict regulatory compliance and offers exceptional cost-effectiveness. Designed for high daily destruction rates, Perma-FAS is both simple and scalable.

Our specialized conveyor-based radiological assay system is engineered to deliver exceptional measurement quality efficiently, providing 100% material characterization. This system incorporates a sophisticated network-based software platform, enabling remote monitoring and control from multiple locations across the project site.

Therma-Fix Gen³ is the culmination of 25 years of technological advancements, desorption-specific waste processing experience, and regulatory knowledge. The electrically heated batch oven system has an operating range of up to 1200°F under a 29" Hg vacuum and uses a tray system to permit discreet segregation of customer waste.

Our Bulk Process Units (BPUs) thermally treat low-level waste (LLW), both liquid and solid. Operating at 1800°F, they decompose organic materials into a stable residue for safe disposal. One unit processes solid LLW in batches using stainless-steel burn boxes, while the other continuously treats liquid LLW, reducing waste volume up to 100:1.

Our waste water evaporator allows significant volume reductions for landfill disposal. Most waste waters can achieve volume reductions greater than 100; turning a 5,000 gallon tanker into a single drum of residue. This technology is an ideal solution for the nuclear power industry, analytical labs, research and development labs, and contaminated water run-off.

Our thermal treatment capability employs a direct-fired industrial furnace (BIF) for the final destruction of liquids separated from solid waste. The contaminants in the waste are either destroyed or bound to meet Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) criteria. We handle all combustion by-products, and no secondary waste is returned to the customer.

The Eagle iScan is a fully equipped mobile radiological survey platform that enables highly accurate and efficient identification and mapping of contamination. This system is designed for rapid assessments of radiological impacts on sites, making it ideal for emergency response scenarios.
