wastes, Bethlehem Apparatus has the expertise to solve
even the most difficult mercury disposal problems. Our
professional staff provides customized solutions for
the processing of just about any type of mercury waste
- solid or liquid.
Bethlehem
Apparatus is continually developing new systems and
specialized mercury processing equipment to meet the
need of our clients. One such system was developed in
response to a need in the mining industry for a cost-effective
method of disposing of calomel, a mercury-bearing by-product
generated from pollution control equipment using the
Norzink process. After consultation with Universal Dynamics
of Vancouver, B.C., Bethlehem Apparatus developed and
built a proprietary calomel processing system. Calomel
is converted in to mercury/mercuric oxide and subsequently
retorted into elemental mercury. The chlorine removed
is then disposed as non-hazardous salt water. Recovered
elemental mercury is quadruple distilled and sold to
industrial users.
