Diversified Scientific Services

• 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.

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.

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.

Treatment Protocol Development

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

• We have a strong history of success in dealing with orphaned waste streams
