MT2's Proprietary ECOBOND® Technology

The metals treatment technology process deployed by MT2 includes chemical treatment processes for the remediation of heavy metals. This treatment is achieved via MT2's process under the brand name ECOBOND®. This US EPA and multi-state approved process:

• Has a strength and 1,000-year simulated durability that has been verified by TCLP leaching parameters, Multiple Extraction Procedure (MEP).

• Uses a broad range of proprietary and patented materials that are one of nature's best stabilizers for leachable lead, and other heavy metals.

• Forms a chemical chain that binds with metal ions forming insoluble metal complexes.

• Produces a reaction that proceeds at ambient temperatures and does not produce secondary waste streams or gases.

• Can be applied in wet or dry form, be applied in-situ or ex-situ, and increases the volume of the waste by only 1% to 5%.

The ECOBOND® process treats a wide range of metals, including:

• Arsenic
• Aluminum
• Antimony
• Barium
• Cadmium
• Chromium

 

• Lead
• Mercury
• Selenium
• Radionuclide
• Zinc

ECOBOND®'S Advantages

MT2's ECOBOND® patented and proprietary processes are the most proven and widely used heavy metals treatment in the United States. Another critical advantage to the ECOBOND® stabilization process is its ease of application. By being able to treat metals contamination to EPA, RCRA or UTS, stabilized waste can often be left on site rather than transported off site to a hazardous landfill. The disposal cost savings for metals stabilized via ECOBOND® can often be measured in the hundreds of dollars per ton.


ECOBOND® Advantage Benefit to Clients

• Lower Cost Generally 30% to 50% lower cost than alternative treatment methods.

• Reduced Environmental Liability ECOBOND® combines with metals to form new minerals that are extremely insoluble; significantly reduced long-term liabilities.

• Eliminates the Generation of Hazardous Waste No hazardous waste manifesting; substantial off-site disposal cost savings.

• Proven Technology Proprietary technology approved by the EPA and state regulators in over 5 years of operations with guaranteed, field-validated reliability. Treated materials pass the EPA's TCLP leach test and the more rigorous UTS and MEP which simulates 1,000 years of metals stabilization.

• Best Available Technology Guaranteed lead recovery/recycling. A permanent and irreversible treatment.

• Technology can be applied in wet or dry form.

• In-Situ and Ex-Situ Treatment Methodologies Enables treatment in confining areas and allows reuse of treated soil.

Treatability Studies

MT2 operates a treatability laboratory at its Metro Denver laboratory in Arvada, Colorado. The treatability study provides clients with a tailored stabilization formula that is optimized for each specific waste stream submitted. Utilizing an optimized ECOBOND® process, MT2 provides clients with TCLP treatment results, a customized treatment approach, and a cost to treat which can be provided in a subsequent proposal.
