The new unit also located in East Chicago has approximately twice the capacity of the original <br /> SDS unit. Both units are currently operational and will be operated concurrently. The SDS units will annually <br /> process 36,000+ tons of hazardous waste, reclaiming 7,000+ tons of scrap metal and producing 2.75 MM+ <br /> gallons of reusable solvents. Wastes suitable for the SDS units include Paints, Resins, Polymers, Solvent- <br /> soaked Rags, paint filters and other organic solvent containing debris. <br /> Our Solid Distillation System is a self-contained, indirectly-heated, rotating processing chamber that uses an <br /> anaerobic atmosphere to remove volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds from solid waste. SDS <br /> eliminates oxidation and the formation of hazardous compounds. In addition to the environmentally friendly <br /> nature of the process, the SDS system offers many other advantages over typical direct-flame systems. <br /> 1 <br /> SDS advantages include: <br /> • SDS can effectively process any solid waste containing organic compounds. <br /> • SDS helps generators meet Environmental Management Systems objectives. <br /> • SDS prevents pollution while promoting recycling and reuse. <br /> • SDS helps customers meet USEPA's RCRA Conservation Challenge. <br /> • SDS eliminates the release of hazardous constituents into the atmosphere. <br /> • SDS conserves energy and materials while keeping waste out of the environment. <br /> Fuel Blending <br /> When organics or solvents cannot be recycled or processed through SDS, they are blended into a fuel <br /> substitute that is used by cement kilns, replacing fossil fuels <br /> As a premier treatment and recycling company, Tradebe has the ability to take materials that are traditionally <br /> incinerated and process them into fuels, affording our customers the economic benefits from this <br /> reclassification of waste. Tradebe utilizes our Iabpack depack facility to bulk small containers of compatible <br /> organic liquids with a latent energy content into drums. The bulked liquids along with other containerized <br /> organic liquids and sludge materials are bulked via a vacuum system in our fuels bulking building. The bulked <br /> liquids and entrained solids are blended into a uniform mixture and transferred to an onsite tank farm. The bulk <br /> material is blended to meet final fuel specifications prior to burning for energy recovery. All fuel blending <br /> operations are conducted with emissions control and organic vapor collection to ensure no release of vapor or <br /> organic compounds to the environment. The bulked materials are shipped via tank truck or rail car to third- <br /> party cement kilns or our lightweight aggregate kiln to be burned for energy recovery as a substitute for fossil <br /> fuels. The combustion of organic hazardous wastes at high temperatures in cement kilns is the Best <br /> Demonstrated Available Technology (BDAT) for treating high BTU hazardous wastes. <br /> Waste to Energy Thermal Treatment <br /> Tradebe has multiple facilities that provide a thermal treatment option for non-regulated waste. Consumer <br /> commodities and other containerized non-regulated wastes are shredded, bulked and blended to create a bulk <br /> solid material suitable for use as an alternate fuel in a waste to energy plant. The material is shipped to <br /> Sustainability at Work 34 <br />
