NORM waste
Naturally-occurring Radioactive Materials or NORM occur naturally as the name suggests. However, certain work activities can give rise to significantly enhanced exposures that need to be controlled. For typical NORM material, exceeding the acceptable yearly radiation dose is what is concerning, rather than any immediate health effects.
Environmental pollution doesn`t take a break during Corona. So at econ we decided to continue with the commissioning plan and therefore the support of our partner in India. Under strictest health & safety measures, including frequent PCR tests and quarantine, two of our econeers set out to India to commission a VacuDry 3,000 for the ex-situ on-site treatment of mercury contaminated soil.
Remediation of mercury contaminated industrial site for future expansion of industrial area.
70,000 tons of mercury contaminated soil and building rubble have to be cleaned in an industrial facility in the south of France until 2013. For the realization of this remediation work, an econ industries VacuDry 12,000 has been in operation since early 2011. After the treatment the mercury free soils can be re-used on-site as building material.

The fluorescent lamps recycling plant was designed for a Taiwanese recycling company. The task was to develop a treatment plant which achieves a high recycling quota while keeping the investment level moderately low. This was achieved by combining several specially developed technologies. These technologies include a high efficient shredder-sieving system, the closed-loop washing unit, an economical dewater-ing unit and a one-step all metal detection system.

A waste management company from Australia was looking for an environmentally friendly solution for oily waste with low emissions and a low carbon foot print. To save installation and commissioning time econ realized a preinstalled modular VacuDry® unit with a capacity of up to 6 tons/hr. The plant is designed for maximum flexibility and it is able to treat different types of refinery waste ranging from dry soil to wet centrifuge cake.

Worlds largest treatment facility for recovery of drilling fluids
The two largest oil & gas companies in Azerbaijan engaged econ industries to design and build the world`s largest recycling facility for drilling mud. The brand-new Waste Management Center is located south of Baku and consists of two identical VacuDry® 12,000 x 2 plants, capable of treating 240 tons of drilling mud daily. The plants were manufactured in Germany and from there shipped to Azerbaij
econ industries is proud to announce the next project towards making mercury history: a delivery contract for a VacuDry® Unit going to India. A VacuDry® 3 000 plant will be deployed to clean-up mercury contaminated soil from a former factory. Due to the location of the factory and strict environmental regulations, an on-site remediation with highest cleaning efficiency was requested. The VacuDry® vacuum distillation process proved to be the best option for this requirement. For pr
The Mercury Waste Treatment Centre has been set-up by an oil and gas service company following the high demand of major oil and gas companies for local waste management solutions. Prior to the establishment of the econ supplied waste treatment centre, waste had to be shipped to be finally disposed of 13 000 km from the waste source. This involved complicated and expensive waste notification and shipment procedures through a dozen countries, and the waste changing hands several times.
Discreet - Targeted - Qualitative - Permanent
We are excited to announce the availability of our turn-key package system for the management of legacy waste with minimal impact on surrounding activities and the environment. The plant was specifically designed to provide a solution to wastes impacted with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) but is suitable to treat other Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP) effectively and efficiently.

NORM doesn’t sound like a big thing. But Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material might let the alarm bells ring. Everyone has heard of “radioactive material” and that sounds dangerous. However, most of this material is trapped deep in the ground beneath our feet. From there it reaches the surface, for example via the water cycle. Another possible pathway for NORM to reach the light of day is together with the so-called drilling mud during the drilling for energy
