Leading the Way in Mercury Waste Management
econ industries is a global leader in hazardous waste treatment technologies, committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions. The MMCU exemplifies our dedication to environmental protection and operational excellence, providing industries with a safe, efficient, and reliable method for mercury stabilization.
The Mobile Mercury Conversion Unit (MMCU) is an innovative and reliable solution for the safe stabilization of elemental mercury (Hg⁰), transforming this hazardous substance into mercury sulphide (HgS), a stable and insoluble compound suitable for safe final disposal. Designed to meet the strict requirements of international regulations, including the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the MMCU provides an on-site, traceable, and cost-effective solution for industries dealing with mercury-contaminated waste.
The Need for Safe Mercury Stabilization
With the global ban on mercury trade and export under the Minamata Convention, companies face increasing pressure to responsibly manage their surplus of mercury. Transporting mercury to centralized waste facilities is often impractical due to the high costs, stringent legal requirements, and significant environmental and safety risks involved. This has created a demand for mobile, on-site solutions that ensure secure, traceable, and environmentally responsible disposal.
The Solution: Mobile Mercury Conversion Unit
econ industries addresses this need with its Mobile Mercury Conversion Unit (MMCU) – a state-of-the-art, mobile processing plant engineered to convert elemental mercury into mercury sulphide (HgS), also known as cinnabar. This transformation renders the mercury chemically stable, non-volatile, and insoluble, significantly reducing environmental risks and ensuring compliance with international disposal standards.
