Services / On-site Processing

United Retek Corporation performs on-site ambient temperature stabilization / solidification recycling of contaminated soils for a broad spectrum of private and public sector clients. United Retek stabilizes/solidifies and recycles contaminated soils containing: Virgin petroleum, Waste oils, Hazardous metals, Coal gasification, Manufactured gas plant (MGP) wastes. The method involves adding a reactive form of reagent and sometimes a ph buffer (when necessary) to the metal-bearing waste. Divalent metal cations, and especially lead, arsenic, cadmium, and chromium react with the reagents to form very insoluble compounds. The chemistry is well known and is based on solubility product data that have been in the literature for decades.The Retek Process utilizes proprietary chemical formulations specifically for metal-bearing solid wastes (patent protected) and materials handling procedures based on the needs of each particular site.
