Ship & Shore has already established its presence in the flexographic, plastics, fastener coating and other industries. The company is now expanding its technology to help treat chlorinated hydrocarbon compounds and emerging contaminants of concern (COCs) typically generated from oil and gas manufacturing facilities.

The environmental company's newest remediation project involves providing a complete VOC abatement system to a local manufacturing company in California. Ship & Shore will be installing a 1,500 SCFM Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) along with an Acid Scrubber and a Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE) system, all engineered to treat emissions and remove halogens from the process. Through combustion, the RTO is designed to convert the solvent-laden air stream to carbon dioxide, HCl, Cl2 vapor, and water vapor, where most of the waste heat generated from the thermal oxidation process will be recovered by a heat exchanger. The resulting products will then be re-directed to a scrubber system in order to remove acidic vapors and then discharged into the SVE system for wastewater treatment.

SVE is a technique designed to remove volatile contaminants from the subsurface and can be combined with thermal oxidizers and other pollution abatement technology in order to efficiently and effectively treat applications. Ship & Shore also offers groundwater treatment equipment such as air strippers, oil water separators and multi-phase extraction systems in order to further treat or remove contaminants from application waste streams. These Ship & Shore technologies can essentially remove over 99% of the contaminants.

"We noticed a tremendous need for groundwater and soil treatment technologies and turned it into an opportunity for growth and innovation. We feel our expert engineers and technical team are well prepared to assist customers that need our assistance," said Anu Vij, Chief Operating Officer of Ship & Shore Environmental.
