Solid waste contract in Australia
Monday, 17 March, 2008
Virotec has entered into a contract to supply ViroFlow Technology solid waste treatment services to Nyrstar Hobart.
The contract is to treat mercurous filter cake and is expected to generate up to $3.5 million in revenue.
Work on the contract will commence in the first quarter of 2008 and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
The service will involve transferring the solid waste from Nyrstar's site in Hobart, Tasmania, to Virotec's waste treatment facility in Queensland. Once treated, the solid waste will be classified as inert material and disposed of in landfill.
The Queensland Environmental Protection Agency and the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment have approved the project. The company's ViroFlow Technology treatment will bind the mercury, which is present in the solid filter cake, in such a way as to make it chemically inert and environmentally safe for long-term landfill.
