Virotec Pty Ltd services

If you have or suspect you have an environmental issue, then analysis is the starting point. The correct sampling and analysis will indentify the issues that you are facing and may not be aware of and include:

Virotec offers a total solution for waste removal and collects all forms of regulated waste including: CCA saste, electroplating waste, foundry waste, dangerous goods, heavy metal laden waste.

In providing technical help and advice, Virotec quantifies and qualifies what the problem is, as it’s better to give no advice than bad advice. The expertise of our key personnel exceeds over 200 years and we have spent more than $30 M on research and development – so we know what we are talking about.

Even if you contract out the collection, storage and disposal of your waste and contaminants to a third party, you will still be liable for their actions. Even with a release.

On site treatment is a massive cost saver. If your environmental waste requires disposal, then trucking and landfill charges can be exorbitant. But what if after on site treatment, the quantity of waste sent for disposal substantially reduces, and what if that contaminated waste was converted into a benign waste that can be accepted at any general waste tip. Our experience is that with on site treatment, your disposal waste costs can be reduced by as much as 80% to 90%, with 30% to 40% being typical.

At Virotec, we will maximise the capture and re-use of any resource you use in your process, even if we make less money as a result. In doing so, you will save in buying those extra inputs and resources which may be expensive eg cyanide in gold mining or contentious eg artesian water.

Sometimes politics and interest groups can get in the way of doing business. With your environmental issues, Virotec acts with or as your public relations department – it’s your call.

Hydrocarbon destruction using Virotec’s advanced bio-remediation Technology is a safe, cost-effective and environmentally responsible method of dealing with and eliminating hydrocarbon contamination. Why advanced bioremediation? Other than bioremediation being a cost–effective treatment, the alternative of excavating and dumping of contaminated soil is not a treatment method but a “problem relocation method” and is therefore not typically the preferred solution. Incineration, sterilisation (e.g. thermal desorption), and soil washing technologies are expensive methods for treating hydrocarbon-contaminated soil and can further damage already fragile ecosystems (for example the gaseous emissions from incineration). These methods are normally only considered for small volumes of soil.
