Industrial waste management at Phillips
- Incinatrol Inc., Denver, CO (US)
- Phillips Petroleum Co., Bartlesville, OK (US)
In 1980, Phillips Petroleum Company faced a situation that was to typify similar experiences by many in the industry. An EPA Certified waste disposal firm, with whom Phillips had contracted for disposal of hazardous waste material, had failed to comply with applicable regulations and entered bankruptcy. Phillips, while fortunate in being able to identify and retrieve the waste it had sent to this facility, did have to help pay for the cleanup of a superfund site. The incident served as a clear reminder of the potential liabilities and risks that large, responsible corporations are exposed to when sending hazardous waste off to distant third parties. Faced with this concern, Phillips Petroleum Company decided to embark on a program to develop the technology and expertise necessary to manage its own hazardous waste in a safe and responsible manner. The result is their rotary kiln incinerator system which is presented in this book.
