Applications from Vulcan Drying Systems

Automotive Shredder Residue Drying

Getting economic value from landfill waste like automotive shredder residue (ASR) is a big challenge that can have a big payoff. Vulcan® Systems Drying Technology is the key component of material preparation when separating ASR waste to reclaim energy and metals. Vulcan® ASR Dryer Systems are manufactured to suit each client’s individual project needs and custom-designed specifically to dry ASR, making the material easy to transport, separate, and handle. This drying system consists of a drum with a burner...

Drill Cuttings Remediation

With a Vulcan® Systems Thermal Desorption Unit, Hydrocarbons are separated from the solids in the sludge. The treated solids have little to no residual hydrocarbons, resulting in an end product that can be disposed of easily and cost-effectively. What makes our equipment unique? The ability to recover diesel or oil in a way which maximizes the resaleability of use as a fuel.

Mercury Removal from Ash

A by-product from burning pulverized coal in electric power generating plants, fly ash can contain substantial levels of mercury which can negatively impact human health and the environment. Responding to the threat of mercury exposure, the EPA has established tough standards for the power industry to meet. Vulcan® Systems Thermal Desorption Units remove mercury from fly ash, making the end product reusable for concrete production. Through this process, power plants are able to create a new revenue stream...

Minerals Drying

Drying is an integral part of the profit and safety picture when processing minerals. Though the specifics of mineral processing will vary by location and industry, the parameters are similar. A reliable drying system is needed that will stand up against the harsh environment and produce a consistent, high-quality end product that can be sold. In short, you need a Vulcan® Systems Dryer.

Municipal Biosolids Processing

Vulcan® Systems and Mannco Wastewater & Soil Solutions are exclusive partners for the biosolids market in the US, Panama, and Cuba. The BIO-PRILL is a complete system designed to produce uniform Class "A" PFRP biosolid fertilizer prills from dewatered biosolids. The system is supplied complete with all components to turn biosolids into an environmentally sustainable and soil-enriching agricultural product as well as a potential revenue stream for municipalities. Dewatered biosolids are introduced through a...

RCRA Waste Processing

With over 40 million tons of recycled waste in the U.S. each year, operators are fervently searching for innovative methods to treat and dispose of RCRA wastes. Vulcan® Systems' thermal desorption technology is a proven method for recycling RCRA wastes in a manner that is efficient, affordable, and compliant with the Resource Conveservation and Recovery Act of 1976. The technology devolatizes hydrocarbons and captures them in a condensor for potential use in fuel blending, while also allowing the delisted end...

Spent Catalyst Drying

"Spent" catalysts are strictly regulated due to the environmental concerns they pose, and since landfill disposal is unacceptable, companies suffer big expenses. Vulcan® Systems' technology removes the hydrocarbons from spent catalysts, recovering valuable materials such as nickel, vanadium, molybdenum, and platinum. Catalysts are essential in the refining of petrochemicals into clean fuel and other valuable products.

Tank Bottom Remediation

With a Vulcan® Systems Thermal Desorption Unit, hydrocarbons are separated from the solids in the sludge. The treated solids have little to no residual hydrocarbons, resulting in an end product that can be disposed of easily and cost-effectively.
