econ - Model MMCU -Mobile Mercury Conversion Units
Hundreds of tons of elemental mercury - amongst others the largest ever existing mercury stockpile of more than 400 tons - have already been converted to mercury sulphide and finally stored, based on our unique mobile solutions for mercury conversion. Under nitrogen atmosphere liquid mercury and Sulphur powder react in a hermetically closed reactor. Continuous, intensive mixing during the process ensures complete stoichiometric reaction to form mercury sulphide, enabling its safe final disposal. In terms of traceability, flexibility, safety and eco-friendliness of the offered mercury waste disposal solutions, our solution is unrivalled. Mobile units and on-site mercury conversion are ideal for companies that want to take more control and ensure that their excess mercury is no longer traded or disposed of in a vague or questionable manner.
