WWR Presents theVulcan® Portable Mercury Reclamation Unit

Portable Mercury Reclamation Unit• Vulcan® Systems is proud to present the Vulcan® PMRU

Portable Mercury Reclamation Unit, which is designed to separate mercury from contaminated wastes and then recover the mercury in our proprietary reclamation system.

• This proven technology can be witnessed at our on-site commercial demonstration unit.

• Our dedicated staff has successfully transformed several mercury-contaminated wastes into recyclable feedstock.

The Unit• The Vulcan® PMRU is

designed to remediate five to 20 tons per hour of mercury-contaminated wastes in a versatile and portable system.

• All equipment is mounted onto three highway-legal trailers for flexibility of treatment locations.

Low-Temperature Thermal Desorption• The system works on the

premises of low-temperature thermal desorption (LTTD), also known as low-temperature thermal volatilization, and thermal stripping, whereby mercury and mercury-containing compounds are vaporized using heat.

Vaporized mercury andthe sweep gas draft into an industrial dust collector to separate entrained particulate matter from the vapor stream to adhere to local and federal dust pollution control regulations.

The Process• Gas enters a shell and tube heat exchanged (gas pre-cooler)

where ambient water absorbs excess heat.• The purpose of the first stage condenser is to reduce the

duty of the second stage condenser, a refrigerated “air dryer.”

• Once the gas is cooled, it enters into the second stage condenser, which “dries” the sweep gas by condensing any moisture and mercury.
