Hazardous
waste cleanup projects often require toxic waste destruction
technology. ARI Technologies' patented process involves
mixing the contaminated material with proprietary demineralizing
agents and then heating the waste in a rotary hearth furnace.
The ARI process is similar to vitrification but does not
involve complete melting. Instead, the process results in
sintering of the material. This sintering process is robust
and very effective on a wide variety of waste types and
contaminants. The process is also effective on other types
of waste including demolition debris and predominantly organic
waste.

Thermochemical
treatment results in permanent destruction of organic materials.
The presence of the demineralizing agents accelerates molecular
diffusion in inorganic waste during heating. This molecular
diffusion results in destruction of inorganic compounds
such as asbestos and simultaneous oxidation and molecular
bonding of metals and radionuclides within the waste media.
This results in immobilization of metals and radionuclides.
The process also results in significant volume reduction
of the waste. Volume reduction is dependent upon the type
of material being treated and can range from 10% for soils
to over 90 percent for ACM or primarily organic materials.
