ECOFLO's fully permitted RCRA Part B treatment, storage and disposal facility in Greensboro, North Carolina receives both drummed and bulk quantity waste materials. The three acre waste treatment plant was designed to benefit ECOFLO's customers in several ways.

Key Benefits

• Minimization of long-term liabilities. The plant engineering is state of the art, thus reducing both the probability of an incident and its impact should one occur.
• Permit Status. ECOFLO's final RCRA Part B permit assures users that the history of the site has not created any risks that might affect current generators.
• Responsiveness. We are able to promptly process customer requests for removal services due to our extensive generic approval database and manifest termination capability.
• Efficient handling of less than truckload quantities. Our storage and consolidation capabilities afford the opportunity to reduce costs.

Designed to Ensure Efficiency, Safety and Accountability:

The TSDF consists of a 40,000 square foot masonry building with environmental permits to store up to 1,254 55 gallon drums and a 70,000 gallon tank farm with permitted capacity to process over 30,000 gallons of aqueous and organic waste per day.

• Special Features:
  • Fuels blending operations. The decant area is completely contained and protected from fire by infrared detectors and a foam delivery system. Organic liquids and sludges in bulk quantities or drums are processed into supplemental fuel according to predetermined specifications for destruction at cement kilns.
  • Quality control laboratory. ECOFLO® has analytical capabilities for testing all materials received for fuels blending, including the following parameters: pH, BTU, halogen content, PCB content, and flash point.
  • Zero discharge facility. The tank farm includes 3 phase layer tanks and 4 agitated blend tanks. All tanks are nitrogen blanketed and have high level alarms with automatic feed cut offs. Fire protection consists of an infrared fire detection system and foam sprinkler systems. All rainwater that accumulates in outside diked areas is collected, pumped into the tank farm, and treated as hazardous waste.
  • Frequent compliance audits. On-site inspections are conducted 6 times per month by our resident inspector from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, thus ensuring the secure and proper management of all waste materials received and the overall compliance of our operations.
