WHY SOLIDIFY HAZARDOUS WASTES?

Amendments to the RCRA regulations enacted on November 8, 1994 prohibit land burial of free liquids, and liquids absorbed on biodegradable substrates or materials that release liquids under pressure.

"I picked up my spills with an olefin or clay based absorbent. Isn't that good enough?"

If you pick up a spill of an acid or alkali with an absorbent you STILL have the same material; just as corrosive, toxic, and reactive as before. Absorbents DO NOT CHANGE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A WASTE! So just sponging up a waste doesn't make it go away.

That absorbed waste MUST be neutralized and solidified before landfill burial! If you don't do it, your waste management company must. And they will CHARGE for this treatment, at quite a rate. If you just discard the absorbed waste, (DON'T) you are liable for 5 and 6 digit fines, even jail sentences!

This bar graph below demonstrates the retention abilities of solidification vs. absorption. Only the solidified OMNI compounds offer proper retention to meet new regulations for secure land burial.

When you use SorbaSet S™ you are ready for secure landfill burial with NO FURTHER TREATMENT! If the waste contained no priority pollutants, in most cases it is acceptable as NONHAZARDOUS!

EASY TO USE

Simply dust on spill or allow pillow to absorb to capacity. SorbaSet S™ stops bubbling when neutral.

*LOW OUTGASSING!
*MILD CONTROLLED REACTION!
*NO FURTHER TREATMENT NECESSARY!
