HTI Process Residues to Landfill
Solid Vitrified Ash
High melting point metals are bound to each other to form an inert solid
Each skip is internally analysed for leaching metals, TOC and LoI and a
composite sample externally analysed. Never had a failure on metals, any on
TOC are reprocessed
Disposed of at a local non hazardous landfill as either VLLW or
NORM Exempt
Stabilised Filter Cake
Metals are in a stabilised, insoluble form
Each skip is internally analysed for leaching metals and a composite
externally tested. Never had a failure.
Disposed of at a local non hazardous landfill as either VLLW or NORM Exempt
