Description:
In August of 1986, Shirco was contracted by Dekonta GmbH, a Vest German hazardous waste treatment company, to perform treatability studies at one of the largest dioxin-contaminated sites in the world. The Shirco Infrared process was selected by Dekonta after a two year study and evaluation of existing and emerging technologies for soils decontamination. The Vest German hazardous waste management regulations, which are established and enforced on a state by state basis, differ somewhat from those in the US. Transportation of dioxin-bearing wastes, for instance, is strictly prohibited. Hence, mobile technologies offer distinct advantages for multiple site remediation.
