Solidification Agents
Aquaset II-H
AQUASET II-H is a versatile powdered solidifier that is used to treat aqueous solutions with extremely high levels of dissolved solids, such as neutralized acids and bases, and organic liquids that are mixed with water and are water soluble or miscible (eg. alcohols, benzenes, glycols, low-molecular weight ketones). AQUASET II-H is often used in conjunction with PETROSET and PETROSET II. Unlike AQUASET II, AQUASET II-H sets up to form a hard matrix (load bearing strengths of over 5 tons per square foot or 69 pounds per square inch can be achieved).
Recommended Application
- Water, with less than 0.01M salts or organics
- Neutralized strong acids
- Neutralized weak acids
- Water-miscible organics
Aquaset II
AQUASET II is a versatile powdered solidifier that is used to treat aqueous solutions with extremely high levels of dissolved solids, such as neutralized acids and bases, and organic liquids that are mixed with water and are water soluble or miscible (e.g. alcohols, benzenes, glycols, low-molecular weight ketones). AQUASET II is often used in conjunction with PETROSET and PETROSET II. AQUASET II is particularly useful in treating Mixed Wastes which contain both heavy metals and water-miscible organics (such as glycols).
Recommended Application
- Neutralized strong acids
- Neutralized weak acids
- Water-miscible organics
- Silicone Emulsions
Aquaset II-GH
(Absorbent/Solidification Agent)
AQUASET II-GH is a versatile absorbent that is used to treat aqueous solutions with extremely high levels of dissolved solids, such as neutralized acids and bases, and organic liquids that are mixed with water and are water soluble or miscible (eg. alcohols, benzenes, glycols, low-molecular weight ketones). Unlike AQUASET II-G, AQUASET II-GH sets up to form a hard matrix (load bearing strengths of over 5 tons per square foot or 69 pounds per square inch can be achieved).
Recommended Application
- Water, with less than 0.01M salts or organics
- Neutralized strong acids
- Neutralized weak acids
- Water-miscible organics
- Sludges and Slurries, Aqueous
Petroset
PETROSET is used to solidify aqueous solutions with low to moderate levels of dissolved solids. PETROSET is used with power mixing to treat sludges and particle suspensions. With the addition of small amounts of water, PETROSET can solidify dry solids. PETROSET is frequently used in combination with other Fluid Tech products such as AQUASET II and PETROSET II.
Recommended Application
- Water, with less than 0.01M salts or organics
- Neutralized weak acids
- Evaporator Concentrates BWR & PWR
- Sluries – Ion Exchange Resins; Filter Pre-coat
Petroset-H
PETROSET-H is used to solidify aqueous solutions with low to moderate levels of dissolved solids. PETROSETH is used with power mixing to treat sludges and particle suspensions. With the addition of small amounts of water, PETROSET-H can solidify dry solids. PETROSET-H is frequently used in combination with other Fluid Tech products such as AQUASET II and PETROSET II. PETROSET-H sets up to a hard matrix (load bearing strengths of over 5 tons per square foot or 69 pounds per square inch can be achieved).
Recommended Application
- Water, with less than 0.01M salts or organics
- Neutralized weak acids
- Evaporator Concentrates BWR & PWR
- Sluries – Ion Exchange Resins; Filter Pre-coat
Petroset-II
PETROSET II is a finely ground, strongly organophilic solidification agent. PETROSET II is used to solidify wastes having some or all of the liquid components that are not water-miscible (such as oils). Solidification of wastes having both water-miscible and water immiscible components is accomplished using PETROSET II in combination with PETROSET or AQUASET II.
Recommended Application
- Oils, hydrocarbon
- Oils, synthetic
- Solvents
- Other Non-Aqueous Liquids
- Sludge’s and Slurries, Non-Aqueous
Advantages of Using Fluid Tech Solidification Agents
Volumetric
Efficiency
Volume increase of wastes treated using Fluid Tech products is typically less than 20%. Minimization of volume and weight increases results in container, transportation, and disposal savings as well as reduced generator liability.
Leach
Resistance
Fluid Tech products irreversibly bind radioactive and hazardous constituents through naturally occurring ion-exchange mechanisms and form inert solids, effectively stabilizing wastes both chemically and physically. This keeps radioisotopes, heavy metals, and other hazardous constituents from leaching, ensuring both long-term stability and compliance.
Physical
Integrity
Wastes solidified with Fluid Tech products maintain their physical integrity through freeze-thaw conditions and vibrational stresses encountered during transportation. This ensures that no incidental or free-standing liquids develop prior to inspection at the final disposition or storage facility.
Adaptability
Fluid Tech products are designed to be stand alone, or used in combination with one another. While each product has its own specific attributes, there is literally no combination of wastes that cannot be solidified.
