Perma-Fix of Florida

The Perma-Fix of Florida facility (a wholly owned subsidiary of Perma-Fix Environmental Services Inc.), located in Gainesville, Florida has unique capabilities for the treatment of problematic mixed waste streams. The facility is licensed and permitted to treat a variety of characteristic and listed mixed waste, soils, liquids, sludges, and debris to Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards. Further, Gainesville is permitted and licensed for bulking and other pre-treatment of mixed wastes.

Perma-Fix’s facility in Gainesville provides a wide range of waste treatment processes including debris treatment, deactivation, neutralization, stabilization and fuels blending activities. In addition, the PFF facility has a Research and Development laboratory that can develop specialized processes and perform treatability studies for unique or complex mixed waste streams to chemically treat the RCRA components to ensure the solid waste form meets LDR.

In addition, this facility houses a state-of-the-art mixed waste analytical chemistry laboratory which conducts treatability studies to enhance or develop treatment processes for specialty wastes. In addition, since the laboratory is located within a licensed and permitted operating waste treatment facility which treats a variety of characteristic and listed waste soils, liquids, sludge, and debris to meet Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) standards and/or other disposal objectives, personnel are available for consulting on scale-up issues that may be addressed during bench testing.

The Treatability Laboratory personnel can perform bench-scale optimization tests using either non-radioactive waste surrogate or real waste samples based upon client requirements. The facility has the necessary engineering (fume hoods, no floor drains, monitoring instruments, etc.) and administrative (standard operating procedures, routine inspections and surveys, safety support staff, etc.) controls to facilitate performance of the work in a safe and effective manner.
