The comparison with other techniques

When compared with other techniques, the VerTech technology has huge advantages. VerTech is performing best in emission: lowest rates toxic materials into air and water. The system has relatively favourable energy consumption. It’s residue is inert, and has a small foot print. The long residence time and the deep well location of the tubular reactor provides maximum safety. The tubular reactor vessel is not limited to sludge and liquid waste treatment. It can be used for other processes. And possibly suitable for recovery of energy.

The Wet oxidation process compared with other techniques

Environmental benefits with the Wet oxidation technology compared with other treatment techniques:

• Breaks down a large portion of the organic material;
• Has little odour nuisance because it is a closed system;
• The reactor uses limited space;
• Does not emit hazardous materials into water or open air;
• Creates energy;
• Even the non-organic waste reduces in volume and can easily be recycled;
• Many forms of waste can be treated with this technology;
• The reactor forms no off-gas residues or toxic concentrates;
• VerTech has a good score with regard to the emissions to water of black-list components;
• Because of the underground location and the long residence time, the reactor is very safe and ideally suited to treat toxic wastes.
