GeoMelt® Technologies

GeoMelt® technologies are a collection of vitrification processes that result in the destruction of hazardous organics, immobilization of radioactive materials and heavy metals and the means to deal with difficult wastes. The GeoMelt® technologies transform hazardous chemical and radioactive wastes into an ultra-stable vitreous and crystalline material similar to volcanic obsidian that is typically 10 times stronger than concrete. Unaffected by wet/dry or freeze/thaw cycling, the product is unsurpassed in leach resistance and it is expected to maintain its physical and chemical integrity over many tens of thousands of years. Corrosion tests have demonstrated that the GeoMelt® product is more durable than granite or marble.
