WES researchers have been evaluating hazardous and toxic waste for more than 20 years with over 500 successfully completed projects. A broad range of innovative technology research and development activities is conducted in the soon to be enlarged and modernized HWRC facility. These include:

biotechnology for liquids, soils, sludges, and sediments
solvent extraction/flushing
in situ solidification/stabilization
electrokinetics
physical separation/volume reduction
advanced chemical oxidation and reduction using UV light, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, peroxone, ultrasonics, and special catalysts (fenton's reagent)
synthetic resin ion exchange
sorption studies (activated carbon/activated alumina, specialty resins)
volatile organic thermal treatment
