Waste
Waste has become a major problem for various industrial, economic, and public sectors. Concepts such as prevention, recycling, reuse, use, elimination, and classification of waste are currently in place during management of different flows of waste. However, applying these concepts requires a very good knowledge of the characteristics of the waste. This is where we step in and offer you a wide array of services.In our facilities, we can conduct a number of tests to establish the composition and properties of different types of waste:
- industrial;
- urban;
- special flows of waste (used oils, PCB, waste containing asbestos, packaging etc).
- regular parameters: pH, metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, anions, total organic carbon, water content, conductivity, loss during calcinations etc;
- special analyses: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons - PAH, benzenes and derivatives - BTEX, phenols, dioxins and furans, cyanides, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, asbestos, inflammability properties, other elements and physic-chemical indicators;
- investigations on waste related to specific elimination processes, as storage (tests on leachate and other waste characteristics in order to verify conformity upon storage), and incineration/ co-incineration (caloric power, halogen content, ashes).
All these services provide you a complete image of the waste analyzed.
Do you have a plant for storage, incineration, or treatment of waste? We offer you complete services for monitoring of water, leachate, emissions and immissions, residues.
Do you have waste and do not know how to classify it? The establishment of the correct waste code and, implicitly, of the properties of the waste is crucial in avoiding damages to the environment and human health, as well as avoiding excessive costs related to storage, handling, transportation, use, and disposal of the same.
Any type of waste requires a characterization report to include the waste source, its physical-chemical properties, its code and establishment of a hazardous/ non-hazardous character, analysis of its use/ disposal possibilities, and observance of the law.
We can help you to solve these issues using a complex method of investigation of the procedure by means of which the waste was generated and the relevant chemical processes, along with the establishment of necessary laboratory testing, assessment of results, and the hazardous or non-hazardous character of the waste.
These services combine extensive consultancy with laboratory testing, and are integrally offered by the same company, helping you to save both time and money.
- Physical and chemical laboratory investigations/monitoring of waste, and waste management plants (warehouses, incinerators, treatment plants);
- Waste characterization: evaluation of hazardous properties, establishment of waste code;
- Investigations regarding the conformity of a waste with the requirements set forth for certain elimination or use processes (example storage, incineration, co-incineration);
- Consultancy services pertaining to the observance of the legislation on waste management, during all phases (formation, storage, transportation, elimination/use, drawing up of sheets, forms, and legal reports).
