Comprehensive Capabilities

PFF Office

Hazardous and Mixed Waste Processing

We are licensed and permitted by the State of Florida to treat a variety of mixed characteristic and listed waste soils, liquids, sludge, and debris to meet Land Disposal Restriction (LDR) standards and/or other disposal objectives. In addition, PFF is permitted and licensed for bulking and other pretreatment of mixed wastes.

Our newest technological capability is an evaporator as treatment of radioactive waters. This treatment results in over exponential volume reduction, saving clients in disposal fees and reducing landfill footprints.

Additional capabilities include:

  • Stabilization, Neutralization, and Deactivation
  • Solidification and Macroencapsulation
  • Labpack Processing
  • Sort and Segregation
  • Solvent Extraction/Debris Washing

Research and Development Laboratory

PFF

The Heart of Innovation

We operate a state-of-the-art R&D Laboratory that develops treatment formulas for specialty waste streams.

The Laboratory allows our team to perform treatability studies to ensure a safe, cost effective approach to resolve our clients' most complex waste management challenges.

The staff has been successful in applying technologies and treatment processes to safely manage and dispose of many of the Department of Energy's no path to disposal wastes (formerly known as Orphan Wastes) thus allowing for storage facilities to be decommissioned saving significant cost to federal clean-up programs.

Dedicated Team with Extensive Knowledge and Expertise

PFF

Our team at PFF works together to provide a safe and productive work environment contributing to the successful completion of our clients' most challenging projects.

We handle a diverse set of waste streams, including:

  • Radioactive waters, oils, sludges, and solids
  • Solvents (halogenated and non-halogenated)
  • Organic-bearing aqueous wastes
  • Corrosive liquids
  • Used oil

THERMA-FIX GEN3

PFF
Therma-Fix Gen3 is the culmination of 25 years of technological advancements, desorption-specific waste processing experience, and regulatory knowledge. The electrically heated batch oven system has an operating range of up to 1200°F under a 29" Hg vacuum and uses a tray system to permit discreet segregation of customer waste. Therma-Fix Gen3 heats low level waste and mixed low level waste to remove organics and recollects them as condensate. The vacuum allows lower temperatures to facilitate removal. Remaining solids are tested for LDR compliance and condensate is treated thermally.

Household Hazardous Waste Days

Perma-Fix of Florida hosts Household Hazardous Waste Days (HHWD) approximately every month at various locations surrounding Gainesville, Orlando, and along the east coast of Florida. These events are open to the public and offer two types of services: "Roundup" and "Shed Cleanout."

Roundup

This event allows community members to drive to a designated location where Perma-Fix personnel will collect household hazardous waste directly from their vehicles. The waste is then safely transported and properly disposed of at our facility.

Shed Cleanout

For this service, Perma-Fix personnel collect pre-packaged, ready-to-go household hazardous waste directly from designated drop-off locations. We ensure that all collected waste is safely transported and properly disposed of at our facility, providing a hassle-free and responsible solution for household hazardous waste. These events provide an excellent opportunity for residents to safely dispose of items that cannot be handled through regular residential waste collection. The types of waste accepted during these events include:

  • Paint
  • Pesticides
  • Batteries
  • Corrosives, acids, and bases
  • Latex paint
  • Fluorescents
  • Mercury
  • PCB
  • Isocyanates
  • Flares
  • Oxidizers
  • Antifreeze
  • Amines
  • Chlorinated solvents
  • Aerosols
  • Dioxin related household materials
