Kinectrics’ Mobile Processing Unit (MPU) can destroy up to 1.5 metric tonnes of Askarel per day, processing both high and low-level PCB waste streams simultaneously.
Combined with commercially-available decontamination technologies for soil or electrical equipment such as capacitors and transformers, Kinectrics’ low-temperature process for liquid PCB destruction or other POP wastes, allows the complete elimination of toxic material without using incineration or other high-temperature alternatives.
Effective Treatment of Toxic Waste
Kinectrics offers effective waste disposal techniques. When treating low-level PCB-contaminated insulating oil, Kinectrics’ low-temperature MPU destroys PCBs completely, rendering more than 95% equivalent-to-new oil suitable for use in electrical equipment, along with a small amount of non-toxic, conventionally disposable sludge, consisting mainly of sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide and harmless petroleum by-products.
High-level PCB liquid wastes, which are PCB waste streams from thermal desorption systems or other solid decontamination processes, can be efficiently destroyed using Kinectrics’ PCB treatment and sodium-based chemical destruction process.
In destroying other halogenated toxic materials, Kinectrics’ low temperature process efficiently converts the toxic material into benign and / or re-usable compounds.

Comprehensive Client Benefits
Economical
- Price competitive with other destruction processes
- Eliminates or reduces high cost typical of the public consultation process required for incineration
- Eliminates additional expenditures for the replacement of mineral oil, if the original PCB-contaminated oil is incinerated
- Lowers costs by allowing simultaneous destruction of high and low-level PCBs
- Eliminates the need for long-term PCB storage and avoids the associated financial risks of fire or leakage
- Avoids high insurance premiums for PCB transport
Environmentally-friendly
- Minimizes volume of conventionally disposable post-production by-products (non-toxic)
- Produces essentially zero airborne emissions
- Enables recycling of oil in electrical equipment
- Permanently eliminates PCBs and other POPs from the environment
- Operates safely and reliably (technology proven for more than 20 years)
- Eliminates spill and emission risks associated with transportation
Convenient
- Convenience of on-site treatment with mobile or fixed facilities
- No special site preparation when using mobile systems
- Small space requirements
- Short set-up and demobilization times
- Larger capacity than more cumbersome mobile thermal methods
- Greater acceptance by the public than other thermal alternatives
