Seiler Pollution Control is best bidder for Air Force project and qualifies for Argonne project.DUBLIN, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 14, 1995--Seiler Pollution Control Systems, Inc. announced today that it has been formally notified that it is the apparent successful bidder on a US Air Force High Temperature Vitrification vit·ri·fi·ca·tion n. The process of using heat and fusion to convert dental porcelain to a glassy substance. vitrification Technology Evaluation Contract. This project entails treatability and pilot testing of five Air Force waste streams through the Seiler High Temperature Vitrification process. Pending the success of this project, the Air Force expects to develop systems to process and recycle Department of Defense waste streams as well as private industrial waste streams under a technology transfer program. The two Air Force bases involved in this project include McClellan Air Force Base McClellan Air Force Base was a United States Air Force base located on 2,952 acres (12 km) about 10 miles (16 kilometers) northeast of Sacramento, California. It is also the home of the Aerospace Museum of California. in Sacramento, California “Sacramento” redirects here. For other uses, see Sacramento (disambiguation).

This project is the culmination of over a one year effort to bring the Seiler High Temperature Vitrification Technology to the United States, and represents Seiler's first major United States Government contract for its North American Operations North American operation Surgical oncology Radical surgery of a 'frozen pelvis', consisting of radical en bloc resection of the uterus and urinary bladder. See 'Frozen pelvis.'. Cf 'All-American' and 'South American' operations. . The Seiler Vitrification Technology was developed in Switzerland and is able to process and recycle a wide variety of waste streams. The system takes these waste streams and renders them nonhazardous, and in most cases reusable. Commercial grade glass/ceramics, including abrasives, architectural media, and insulation, are generated from the system. The system is unique in that it is compact enough to fit in most industrial facilities and clean-up sites, and it can process and handle both organic and inorganic waste residuals. In a related matter, Seiler has also been recently notified by the Argonne National Laboratories that it has been selected as a qualified bidder to place a Vitrification system at the Argonne Laboratory facility in Argonne, Illinois. This system will be designed to process Argonne's own low level and mixed radioactive waste streams as well as supply a useful research and development facility for handling other wastes.
