The RemBind® Process
The RemBind® process is a total solution for reducing the toxicity of hazardous waste. The process uses a patented chemical fixation and solidification (CFS) technology to ‘bind up’ waste contaminants to prevent them leaching and causing harm to the environment or human health.
The basic principles of the RemBind® process are shown in Figure 1.
Client Benefits
The RemBind® process offers a number of distinct client benefits.
- Cost-effective with competing technologies
- Proven technology developed with a leading global research organisation
- Practical solutions that are compatible with industry standard methods
- Flexible range of service options to meet different client needs
- PhD-qualified technical staff with ‘real world’ commercial experience
- Low carbon footprint options.
Service Options
The RemBind® process has been designed with in-built flexibility to meet different client needs. Clients can mix-and-match from the following range of services:
1. Waste analysis and characterisation – this information is required to determine target treatment criteria and to choose the most appropriate remediation method.
2. Optimization trials – data from lab-scale trials is generally required as part of the regulatory approvals process.
3. Regulatory approvals – Ziltek’s experienced staff can assist clients with the regulatory approvals process for waste treatment in the relevant jurisdiction.
4. Supply of remediation products – based on optimization trials, Ziltek can recommend and supply the chemical products for large-scale remediation.These products can be supplied in 1 tonne bulky bags or trucked in bulk.
5. Turnkey solutions – Ziltek works with a number of leading remediation contractors that supply in-field remediation services.
A Proven Technology
The RemBind® process was developed in collaboration with a leading global research organization and aspects of the process are the subject of patent applications.
The RemBind® process has been successfully used to treat a range of organic and inorganic waste contaminants. Example case studies for arsenic and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are shown below.
