Treatment & Disposal
Wastewater Treatment
For liquid and semi-liquid wastewater, E2 utilizes a wide range of aqueous treatment technologies. These technologies include chemical oxidation and reduction, neutralization, metal precipitation, flocculation, filtration and carbon absorption stabilization through encapsulation. In addition, we offer a supercritical fluid extraction process capable of recovering 99% more organic contaminates from wastewater.
E2 is committed to making your wastewater disposal as cost-effective as possible.
Universal Waste
Some hazardous wastes are so common the state and federal environmental rules call them "Universal Waste". The good news is that most of these wastes are easily recycled. But, in cases where recycling is not a viable option, the Universal Waste Rules ease certain regulatory requirements which help expedite the disposal process and eliminate added expense.
E2 is a Large Quantity Handler of Universal Waste (LQHUW) and an approved Universal Waste Destination Facility. This means that E2 customers can rest assured all of there Universal Waste needs are managed by experienced professional with the utmost care and efficiency.
Categories of Universal Waste currently include: Batteries, pesticides, thermostats (because of the mercury), mercury-containing fluorescent lights, and paint and paint-related wastes.
* Remember: Although common, Universal Waste is still a hazardous waste and by law must be sent to waste facilities permitted or approved by the TCEQ or the EPA. Universal Waste may not be disposed of in the garbage.
Lab Packs
One of the most challenging issues facing schools, colleges, universities, research labs and manufacturers is the proper removal of laboratory reagents and other small quantity chemicals. Reagent chemicals are deceptive in their appearance as their small size can lead one to believe they pose little harm. In truth, laboratory chemicals may pose significant risk when their shelf life has expired, labels are missing, or they have been improperly stored.
E2 Lab Pack Services Program offers skilled professionals trained specifically to deal with these potentially dangerous materials. These Environmental Specialists collect, identify, classify, segregate, label, and package your waste into DOT approved containers "lab packs". Utilizing lap top computers, specialists quickly produce all documentation to comply with federal, state, and local regulations, allowing transport of these items the same day to an EPA permitted facility for processing.
The comprehensive Lab Pack Service of E2 provides our clients the peace of mind that their unwanted small quantity waste will be disposed of in a safe, efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sound manner.
Landfill and Landfill Treatment
E2 provides cost-effective and safe disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous solids for secure landfill in drum and bulk forms. Wastes are packaged in appropriate containers by experienced and knowledgeable personnel then shipped to a landfill in safe and permitted equipment. All waste disposal, processing information, and documentation requirements are completed to ensure customers are fully protected from future liabilities.
Deepwell Injection
Deepwell Injection is a liquid waste disposal technology. This alternative uses injection wells to place treated or untreated liquid waste into geologic formations that have no potential to allow migration of contaminates into potential potable water aquifers. A typical injection well consists of concentric pipes and casings which extend several thousand feet below the ground surface. When a well is considered full by filling the "injection zone", the casing is then filled up and sealed off by filling the remainder of the pipe with concrete. The target contaminate group for deepwell injection are VOC’s, SVOC’s, fuels, explosives, and pesticides.
