Description
SOLIDIFICATION AND STABILISATION OF WASTE
The ECOMIX soil and sludge treatment plant is an industrial system specifically designed for waste inertization, a process aimed at immobilizing pollutants within an inert matrix through chemical and/or physical reactions such as encapsulation, polymerization, adsorption, and desorption. The goal is to reduce the contaminant potential and hazard level of waste materials by transforming them into stable, solid compounds that are easy to handle (solidification) and by preventing the release of contaminants through stabilization, which binds pollutants into insoluble compounds. The resulting materials become non-hazardous, suitable for recovery or disposal in lower-category landfills, with significantly reduced operating costs. The ECOMIX plant can process materials with moisture content up to 70% and is suitable for both wet and dry bulk materials. It can be customized to meet specific production needs, offering high efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility in any working environment.
A HIGH-PERFORMANCE INERTISATION PROCESS
The ECOMIX inertisation plant consists of one or more hoppers for waste loading, one or more silos for storing the powdered materials (binders and/or reagents), and a continuous cycle mixing unit (for high hourly production rates) or a forced regime (for high quality final products). It represents an innovative solution for the treatment of compact, cohesive, and moisture-rich materials, such as contaminated soils, inert waste, clays, and sludges, which are traditionally difficult to handle, store, and mix. The hopper design prevents the formation of bridges or blockages, ensuring smooth material flow, while the patented extraction system at the bottom of each hopper guarantees the reliable discharge of cohesive and sticky wastes. The addition of powdered reagents is managed by automated dosing systems located above the mixer, fed from vertical or horizontal silos ensuring precise and uniform distribution throughout the process.
WASTE INERTISATION: SOIL, SLUDGE AND POWDER
The ECOMIX plant enables the treatment and stabilization of solid and semi-solid wastes, including contaminated soils, sludges, pasty residues, and inorganic effluents from various industrial sectors. It is widely used in metallurgical, chemical, ceramic, textile, photographic, energy, and environmental industries, ensuring the safe treatment of neutralization sludges, ashes, combustion residues, foundry slags, dusts from flue gas treatment, and materials from site remediation or dredging. Thanks to its combination of solidification and stabilization, the ECOMIX system transforms complex, moisture-rich waste into compact, stable materials, making them safe, easy to transport, and suitable for recovery or controlled disposal.
