Diversified Scientific Services

657 Gallaher Rd, Kingston, TN - (865) 376-0084

Our Diversified Scientific Services (DSSI) facility has the capability to destroy a wide range of liquid, mixed, and radioactive wastes using a licensed combustion process. The staff has over a decade of mixed waste treatment experience, since issuance of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Part B Permit in 1989. This facility operates as the only commercial mixed waste combustion unit in the U.S. with TSCA treatment authorization from the EPA Region 4 to manage TSCA regulated PCB contaminated radioactive wastes.

State of the Art Facility

dssi

  • Located in Kingston, Tennessee, our DSSI facility is the most unique radioactive waste treatment facility in the U.S. because it has the capability to thermally destroy a wide range of liquid mixed and radioactive wastes using a licensed combustion process.

  • We operate the only commercial mixed waste combustion unit in the United States with TSCA treatment authorization. We have been an experienced radioactive and mixed waste processor since 1989.

  • Our staff at DSSI develops specialized processes and treatability studies for unique mixed waste streams.

Thermal Treatment Capabilities

  • The direct-fired boiler industrial furnace (BIF) provides final destruction of liquids separated from solid wastes.

  • The contaminants in the waste are either completely destroyed or bound to meet land disposal restriction (LDR) criteria.

  • We dispose of all combustion byproducts and no secondary wastes are returned to the customer.

tanks

Liquid Waste Treatment

  • This facility can accommodate drum quantities or large bulk (tanker) quantities of liquid wastes.

  • Our tank farm has the capacity to store 30,000 gallons of liquid wastes.

  • The tanks are used for storage and to allow for blending of the wastes prior to processing.

mixed waste

Complex Mixed Waste Solutions

  • We have a long standing reputation for developing unique treatment capabilities for the most difficult and complex waste streams.

  • Years of treatment experience coupled with sound engineering practices, intimate knowledge of RCRA & TSCA regulations, and on-site fabrication expertise have allowed us great success in treating a myriad of previously homeless waste streams.

  • Our innovative solutions have helped DOE subcontractors successfully meet established treatment milestones in support of the DOE mission.

protocol development

Treatment Protocol Development

  • Our staff has the experience, technology, and know-how to develop a waste treatment capability for difficult and problematic waste.
