Project - USA 2 - Tradebe SDS-II

Project Description:
Building on the success of SDS-I, RLC Technologies built a new, higher capacity thermal desorption system for the SDS-II expansion in 2014. The unit remains in continuous parallel operation with SDS-1 processing RCRA listed waste streams and converting them into saleable products.

Materials are shredded to 2” parts prior to feeding into the ATDU. Once inside the ATDU organics are vaporized and plastics are pyrolyized into vapors which are condensed in the provided vapor recovery unit. SDS-2 is the second ATDU installation at the site.

The ATDU facility offers waste generators an effective and cost-efficient method for recycling organic solid waste that might otherwise be disposed of. Prior to this technology, most organic hazardous waste solids were incinerated in a process designed to destroy the organic content by driving off volatiles and burning excess gases. Alternatively, the ATDU technology extracts the organics from hazardous waste solids to recover viable chemical products. Most organic solids can be processed, including paint waste, solvent soaked rags, resins, polymers, production debris, refinery waste and discarded commercial products.
