FAQ

What is Pyrolysis Technology?

Our unique Thermal Desorption Plant utilizes pyrolysis technology that is capable of achieving a 99.9999 % (six 9’s) destruction of all hazardous waste. Pyrolysis (also known as ‘retorting’) is the thermal treatment of a material without oxygen. At high temperature, organics and water are vapourised, leaving a carbon rich residue.

What happens to our Carbon Residue

Is tested by a ISO certified laboratory to ensure it is not hazardous in nature. It is then re-used as a low grade coal or AFR

What by-product is produced once the waste has been thermally treated?

We produce a carbonized residue by-product from the variable forms of hazardous waste that is processed at A-Thermal. This is no longer a waste and is now classified as an AFR The solid residue consists of carbon, inert, decontaminated materialfrom the kiln that is collected, stored and tested for the presence of organics, inorganics and heavy metals. The carbonized residue has similar properties to coal.

What do you do with the carbonized residue?

Our Zero to Landfill Waste Management Solution – Our company is also nearing the completion of an exciting project that will see us produce a carbonized residue by-product from the variable forms of hazardous waste that is processed at A-Thermal.  The carbonized residue has similar properties to coal and can be used as an alternative form of fuel, essentially making A-Thermal a Zero-Landfill Treatment Facility.

What happens to the emissions?
