Client US Ecology
Project Site US Ecology Treatment Storage and Disposal (TSD) Facility
Project Location Beatty, Nevada
Waste Characteristics Tank Bottoms, Drill Cuttings, API Sludges
Target Contaminants PAHs, Hydrocarbons, Pesticides, etc.
Client Contact Person James Hancock, (800) 239-3943

Project Description
NIR Systems in partnership with US Ecology established a fixed base thermal treatment system in early 2000 at US Ecology’s RCRA permitted TSD facility located in Beatty, Nevada. The MCS thermal treatment system has been in operation continuously since June, 2000 and has successfully treated over ten different waste streams from various industrial clients consisting of a wide range of chemical contaminants and matrix characteristics. The waste streams successfully treated to below the Land Ban Disposal Restriction (LDR) standards have included refinery tank bottoms and API separator sludges for Amoco and Arco. IR Systems also mobilized a second MCS treatment system at the Beatty, Nevada facility to specifically treat refinery waste streams. IR Systems also installed two (2) additional MCS treatment systems in September. The Beatty facility is presently operating and excepting waste streams from all over the country.

Client Formosa Plastics Corporation
Project Site Chlor Alkali Manufacturing Plant
Project Location Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Waste Characteristics Process Waste, Contaminated Soil
Target Contaminants Mercury
Client Contact Person Mr. Yan Der Chen - Formosa Project Manager
886-7-371-1411-7230

Project Description
Six (6) MCS units are on site for the treatment of thousands of metric tonnes of mercury impacted process waste and contaminated soils. The average concentrations of mercury in the waste is approximately 1,000 ppm and the project cleanup goal is 2 ppm. IR Systems completed a successful treatment test demonstration and obtained a permit from Taiwan EPA. The full-scale operation is on going and will continue until the summer of 2002. The mercury is being recovered for recycling.

Client The Shell Oil Company
Prime Contractor Vac-Tech Engineering, PTE LTD
Project Site Shell Refinery
Project Location Port Dickson, Malaysia
Waste Characteristics API Sludges, Drill Cuttings, Tank Bottoms,
Contaminated Soil
Target Contaminants Petroleum Hydrocarbons
Client Contact Person Mr. Paul Mulveney - Vac-Tech Project Manager
(65) 268-9270

Project Description
The project consist of the dewatering of a sludge lagoon, the treatment of all removed liquids, excavation of all subsurface sludge, the pre-treatment processing of the sludges with a centrifuge and thermal treatment of all contaminated soils and pretreated sludges with the MCS system. This waste includes tank bottoms, pit sludge and waste water treatment biosolids. Approximately 10,000 metric tonnes of sludges and contaminated soils are being treated with the MCS System as part of this project. The average TPH concentration of the feedstock materials (centrifuge cake and contaminated soils) for the MCS System will be 50,000 (5%) to 200,000 (20%) and the project cleanup goals are 1,000 ppm (0.1%). The systems will remain on site to treat generated waste on a three year term after processing the stockpile waste.
