Freeze-tec applications

 Freeze-tec can be utilized and implemented in the following methods:

  • Freeze-Tec Dewatering
    • Through optimization of the freeze-thaw cycle, the dewatering process can remove most of the water and transform the sludge into coarse particles with low water content.

  • Freeze-Tec Dredging 

    • Contaminated sediments can be stabilized, in-situ, and safely removed in a frozen state.  This material can then be further dewatered or treated for final disposal.
  • Freeze-Tec Sampling 
    • Sampling can be performed for a variety of sludges and sediments.  Sampling methods include surface sampling, depth sampling, and core sampling. 
  • Freeze-Tec Salvage Recovery
    • Preserve and recovery lost articles ranging from small tools to large size equipment.  Ideal for hazardous and delicate items.  (i.e. Drums, unexploded ordnance, artifacts, etc.)
