Industrial Waste Treatment

Overview

Miller Environmental operates a licensed processing facility, known as the Vaughn Bullough Environmental Centre (VBEC), on a 160-acre footprint with the capacity and capability to receive large volumes of waste. The site includes multiple process buildings, outside lined processing cells as well as an onsite repository for final disposal of treated and inerted materials.

VBEC’s ability...

To treat industrial organic and inorganic waste both in liquid and solid forms at one location provides a unique benefit in the overall management of incoming streams. Waste can be received in all container sizes from pails to bulk truck loads. Miller Environmental profiles all incoming waste and evaluates whether the waste can be recycled or repurposed within other onsite processes.

Some of our treatment processes include:

Treatment and Processing Capabilities

Specialty Soil, Sludges & Solids Treatment

Our ability to formulate specific chemistries to treat unique types of contaminated soils, hazardous solids and sludges sets us apart from our competitors. Miller is uniquely equipped to manage large quantities of contaminated soil and has the exclusive ability to receive and sequester batches of soil or sludge on our site.

Miller has the exclusive capability to immediately receive materials without director’s approval and analytical results. This allows Miller to sequester and isolate material 24/7 to mitigate major spills and environmental incidents immediately during emergency response operations. Once the material is received a quality analysis and quality control analysis is performed to determine the appropriate and safe method of treatment. Examples of treatable solids include, but are not limited to:

Glycol contamination
Heavy metal impacted
Acid or alkali contamination
Toxic/Environmentally hazardous
PFAS and PFOS impacted material
Flammable solids
Chlorinated soil
Catalysts
Additional contaminants can be acceptable upon review

Inorganic Waste Processing

Stabilization of metals
Wet or dry inorganic sludge solidification & disposal
Capability to ship some high value metal salts for recycling
Fluorescent tube shredding, stabilization & solidification (or shipping for recycling as requested)
Chemical processing for a vast array of inorganic chemicals
Stabilization of processed chemical residues (salts and metals)

Liquid Organic Waste Processing

Sludge/water separation
Solvent/fuel blending (waste to energy)
Latex paint bulking & solidification (or shipping for recycling as per customer direction)
Oil based paint bulking/fuel blending (waste to energy)
Oil filtering and sludge separation
