Alkalis


Our ability to treat a wide variety of alkaline waste extends far beyond the realms of conventional treatment plants. We treat Sodium and Potassium Hydroxide solutions, containing additional compounds such as Fluorides, Sulphides and Ammonia. This makes our 3 treatment plants ideal for dealing with wastes from the oil and gas, and chemical manufacturing industry.

Our Ilkeston site can treat strong ammonia containing liquids, with wastes received in tankers and Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). The ability to offer a zero-to-landfill solution for these complex solutions is a rare feature in the UK waste treatment market.

We also offer in-house treatment of alkaline sludges, powder and solids at our Ilkeston site.

Alkali waste received includes:

 

1. Sodium Hydroxide

2. Potassium Hydroxide

3. Sodium Carbonate

4. Potassium Carbonate

5. Calcium Hydroxide/Oxide

6. Sodium Metasilicate

7. Ammonia/Amines
