Industrial waste removal has always been one of the major activities in industrial units. However, with the advent of worldwide awareness, campaigns for environmental issues and the consequent stringent environmental laws being enforced by the governments of different countries, various industrial units have become even more attentive towards effective industrial waste removal. They have now started looking for advanced technologies for treating industrial wastes.

When the US Department of Transportation made it mandatory to solidify all liquid wastes before their disposal, industrial units started venturing for agents that could help in Industrial liquid waste solidification in an effective manner. For many years, saw dust, kiln dust, Portland cement and many other materials were used as industrial waste solidifiers. However, they faced many problems while using them. Prominent amongst them was that such materials when used for solidifying industrial liquid waste would substantially increase the volume of the sludge resulting from the solidification process. As a result, at the time of their disposal, the industrial units had to bear heavy cost in the form of high transportation and disposal bills.

The ineffectiveness of traditional methods of industrial waste removal led many companies to come up with some innovative technologies. A major breakthrough came in the form of super absorbent polymers that were especially designed to be used in the liquid waste solidification process. As opposed to the previously used waste solidifiers, these absorbent polymers offered the following advantages:

Super absorbent polymers are highly effective in solidifying a wide range of liquid wastes including hazardous, non-hazardous and radioactive materials.

They take very less time in absorbing and thus solidifying large volume of liquid wastes.

They solidify large amount of liquid wastes with just a marginal increase of 3% in the total volume of the sludge.

As they do not cause a substantial increase in the volume of the sludge, industrial units can save on transportation and disposal costs.

One such industrial liquid waste absorbent polymer is ZapZorb, a truly innovative product by Zappa Tec. It is a highly cost effective liquid waste solidification agent. It absorbs vast amounts of industrial liquid wastes. The slue thus produced can be easily disposed of into the permitted landfills. The best feature about their usage is their efficiency in performing their job. They take very little time to solidify liquid wastes. This way, industrial units do not require devoting too much time in the industrial waste disposal. Super absorbent polymers are highly effective in industrial & medical waste solidification as they take very less time in absorbing liquid wastes.
