COMPARISONS

How does ADT treatment methodology compare to conventional stabilization and other methods using chemical additives?

1) ADT's heavy metal treatment technology is not tied to any one treatment product, methodology or means of application and therefore is not restricted to one or two heavy metals or specific site conditions. ADT's technology can be applied in a variety of ways under most site conditions addressing one, or a combination of heavy metal contaminates. Organic or inorganic constituents in soil and other media, including petroleum do not effect ADT's treatment. It also works in a wide range of pH conditions and is permanent.

2) Additives or reagents applied using ADT's technology adds marginal volumes, (1%- 5%), to the final waste volume as opposed to standard means (30%-50%). This reduces on site set up, space requirements and equipment cost, not to mention the significant reduction in off site transportation and disposal fees.

3) ADT's technology is safe, simple and regulatory complaint while converting toxic heavy metals into a safer, naturally occurring state. ADT successfully performed field treatment for TCLP arsenic and chrome at one of the most regulatory restrictive sites in the Northwest. ADT's technology has been demonstrated at a number of EPA test sites and has been accepted in the US Navy's BBA program as a viable technology option for military site clean ups.

4) ADT provides substantial cost reduction opportunities saving between 30 and 60 percent over conventional stabilization costs. ADT conducts extensive laboratory testing on every waste stream prior to application in the field to provide reliable results the first time around.

5) ADT's treatment technology can meet or exceed strict EPA land disposal restrictions in the field and can interface with state and federal regulatory agencies to provide a complete, compliance oriented service package to the client.
