Chase’s Processing
Division operates a volume reduction and waste consolidation
facility in Wampum, Pennsylvania for “Small Quantity
Generators.” Small Quantity Generators encompass a
wide spectrum of academic, industrial, research, and government-sponsored
entities that produce waste streams just as varied and uncommon.
Chase has dedicated its
processing efforts to focus solely on the Small Quantity
Generators and to afford these waste streams the proper
level of attention – a level of attention that Chase
has found absent at other commercial waste processing facilities
that handle waste from large quantity generators (e.g. nuclear
power plants, the DOE, etc.). Therefore, Chase has installed
and operates a high-force compactor at a licensed waste
processing facility to serve as the centerpiece for our
volume reduction operation. The super-compactor is capable
of crushing 55-gallon steel waste drums and achieving a
disposal density well in excess of 70 lbs/ft3.
Chase conducts other waste
processing and consolidation efforts at the same facility
such as solidification, waste repackaging, and sealed source
encapsulation. All waste is disposed of at licensed disposal
facilities, returned for storage, or disposed of at an alternatively
approved facility.
