Apatite Metal Stabilization Technology

Ezraterra acquired the Apatite Metal Stabilization Technology to handle metal contaminated porous media (soil and sediment). The technology uses a proprietary process to chemically stabilize the metals in soil or sediment by bonding the metals to the soil or sediment. The process addresses the ability for the metals to leach from the soil. The EPA defines RCRA characteristic hazardous waste through a leaching analysis (TCLP). The Apatite metal stabilization treatment process will take elevated TCLP soils and render the soil non-hazardous, which allow the soils to be disposed at a non-hazardous waste landfill at significant cost savings.
