Abstract
A waste water treatment capability emphasizing energy recovery for internal use or sale as well as recycling of valuable materials from waste streams is described. The method, developed by Environmental Waste Removal, Inc. (EWR) consists of a proprietary multistep chemical treatment process to detoxify the aqueous waste and separate and recover oils, solvents, and water. A nationwide waste exchange program featuring a computer-based databank is planned. It will list descriptions of wastes wanted or materials available. A centralized computerized manifest system for use by hazardous waste generators, transporters, and owners of such facilities is in operation by EWR. This tool can track movement of waste from point of generation to point of disposal. The system is described. (MCW)
