With over twenty years of experience RLC Technologies has become the world leader in the design of indirect thermal desorption systems for the treatment of hazardous and organic waste streams.

Our Anaerobic Thermal Desorption Unit (ATDU) has been involved in projects worldwide treating oily sludge, drill cuttings, tank bottoms, bio-solids, filter cake, soil contaminated with PCBs, PAHs, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other hazardous materials. The indirect nature of the process allows valuable hydrocarbons to be recovered from processed materials. Additionally, our Pyrolytic Conversion Unit (PCU) has been used to convert organic wastes into useful products such as synthetic gas and oil.

RLC Technologies custom designs and manufactures its ATDU systems to meet our clients’ specific decontamination and performance needs.

Process Benefits

• Environmentally friendly nature 
  Our technology eliminates the need for land disposal or incineration and meet or exceed the most stringent clean up criteria. The closed system design reduces atmospheric emissions to a fraction of that of direct fired systems. Hydrocarbons are separated and recovered, not burnt and released to the atmosphere as greenhouse gases.
  
  
• Waste minimization / recycling 
  The non-destructive nature of the process allows wastes to be converted into useful products. Our technology can produce a product with commercial value while reducing and de-listing a hazardous waste stream.
  
  
• Large treatment capability 
  Basically any compound, organic or inorganic that could be converted to a higher volatile substance and whose boiling point is reachable using our equipment can be removed from a stable matrix and further recycled.
  
  
• 24 hours year round operation 
  Our plants are designed to operate about 90 percent of the time within a 24 hours year round operational schedule.

Design Benefits

• Proven Design
  RLC Technologies has build and delivered over thirty indirect fired thermal desorption plants to job sites around the world. Safety is our highest priority and our highly evolved design and sophisticated control system has proven the plant to be safe and reliable time and again. 
  
  
• Custom design 
  Our plants are custom designed for each specific application depending of the type of contaminated material and the customer's specific needs. In addition each one of the ATDU plant we build is constantly improving in design and performance.
  
  
• Low maintenance design 
  Our special design, additions, and provisions enable our equipment to operate successfully with minimum required maintenance. Abrasive materials such as those found in drill cuttings and other wastes do not impart wear from friction as is common with other thermal treatment systems.
  
  
• Mobility / Emergency response 
  Our plants can be easy placed on trailers and transported to remote sites. With the quick electrical disconnects provided our plants allow easy mobilization and demobilization.
  
  
• Sophisticated control and safety system 
  Our equipment is completed with the last-to-date sophisticated and reliable control and safety system, which assures stable operations and virtually eliminates the risk of accidents.
  
  
• Worldwide on site assistance 
  We want our clients to operate properly and to produce results. Therefore our experienced startup specialists provide worldwide training and on site assistance during the plant Setup, Startup, and performance thereafter. We are ready to provide our clients with spare parts, technical data, and consultations as needed.

Financial Benefits

• Competitive price 
  We structure our business in a way that we are able to offer our clients internationally competitive prices.
  
  
• Cost effectiveness 
  Transforming a waste to a product that has commercial value, low maintenance design, high quality components, stable and reliable operations, and mobility are all benefits that enable our client to operate in a most cost-effective way.
  
  
• De-Listing of Waste while Recovering Oil  
  D, F & K wastes can be processed through our ATDU and meet UTS, allowing for disposal in a non-hazardous or industrial landfill. 
  
  
• One year full warranty 
  RLCT offers One (1) year warranty with respect to its equipment.
  
  
• Suitable payment terms 
  We are open to use different INCOTERMS terms when pricing our equipment and we are open to discuss different payment terms and payment instruments with our clients. RLC Technologies can also facilitate transaction via Ex-Im financing for international sales.

Our Products

RLC Technologies Anaerobic Thermal Desorption Unit (ATDU)  is an complete waste processing plant built around an indirect fired rotary drum. Included equipment includes the vapor recovery unit, oil water separation, solids discharge and conditioning system and centralized plant controls. Every ATDU manufactured is designed to meet our customers specific performance requirements. Applications include the treatment of various waste streams including refinery waste, drill cuttings, tank and tanker bottoms, centrifuge cake, soils contaminated with PCBs, PAHs and RCRA hazardous wastes.

The ATDU is built with drum sizes ranging from 54 to 84 inches in diameter and 48 feet in length. An extended length drum can be provided to further increase the system capacity.  As an option, the plant can be equipped with provisions to allow non-condensable process gases generated in the ATDU which pass through the Vapor Recovery Unit to be recirculated and utilized in the ATDU furnace. Our systems are designed to meet applicable local requirements including but not limited to the latest CE, ATEX, GOST-R and Ex guidelines.
