The science behind the solidification.

Fluid Tech's products have been evaluated by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, the Savannah River Site, INL and other DOE facilities, deployed on major decommissioning projects. This library collects that record, along with the published patents of our Senior Technical Advisor, listed by inventor. Browse by category below, or filter by technology.

Research & Treatability Studies

Independent national-laboratory & DOE evaluations

Third-party studies documenting how Fluid Tech media perform on real low-level, mixed, and TRU waste streams — the strongest, most citable evidence in the library.

Treatability Study Stabilization of Liquid Low-Level and Mixed Wastes Sandia National Laboratories · 1996 · SAND96-0297C Independent DOE study across ~40 low-level and mixed waste types — all stabilized with AQUASET® / PETROSET® media, all passing the EPA Method 9095 Paint Filter Liquids Test. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study Alternative Method of Solidification for Class A Waste Babcock & Wilcox / Fluid Tech · WM Symposium 1988 41–48 gal of Class A waste per 55-gal drum — about half the burial volume of cement — with ANSI/ANS 16.1 leach data. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study Processing of Wastes with the AQUASET/PETROSET Family Fluid Tech / US Ecology · WM Symposium 1989 40,000+ gal of radioactive oil waste solidified in the field at ~80% loading, with leach rates up to 100× below cement. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study In-Situ Remediation of Mixed-Waste Tanks (INEEL V-9) Peter Shaw (INEEL / Lockheed Martin Idaho) · WM Symposium 1998 AQUASET II-H solidified 40+ wt% water and cut metals below TCLP for in-situ remediation of a DOE mixed-waste tank. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study Production-Scale Solidification System (Argonne) Wescott, Wagh & Singh (ANL-E) · CONF-970335-41 A DOE production-scale in-drum solidification system running AQUASET II-H and PETROSET II media. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study Oak Ridge Zeolite Testing — WTZ 100 (2022) Jeansonne (UCOR); Townson (Atkins) · WM2022 · Paper 22292 Independent Oak Ridge evaluation naming Fluid Tech's WTZ 100 clinoptilolite as a durable zeolite for Cs-137 / Sr-90 removal. Ion Exchange & Isotope-Specific Media View Treatability Study SRS PUREX Waste Solidification — Sorbent Evaluation Savannah River Site / SRTC · 2003 An independent SRS comparison that evaluated PETROSET II for solidifying PUREX (TBP) organic waste under leach, radiation and thermal stress. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study K Basin Sludge & Hydrogen Generation (AQUASET II) Sinkov, Delegard & Schmidt (PNNL) · PNNL-20455 PNNL evaluated AQUASET II as a K Basin sludge waste form in the context of hydrogen generated by uranium-metal corrosion. Solidification & Absorption View Treatability Study SRS PUREX Solidification — Phase IV Drum-Scale Bickford & Joyce (MSE); Holmes-Burns (WSRC) · WM Symposium 2006 The drum-scale (5- and 55-gal) follow-on to the 2003 SRS bench study — PETROSET II and PETROSET II Granular for organic PUREX waste.
