Phase Separation Solutions Inc137 LeMarchant Road, St. John's,, Newfoundland , Canada

A Few Words About Us

Using patented non-incineration technology Phase Separation Solutions (PS2), sets the standard for the safe economical and environmentally responsible management of impacted soil and oil based sludge.

Landfill restrictions, public concern over impacted sites, tightening regulations on storage and disposal of waste, increasing liability costs, need to reduce the carbon foot print and a general deepening of corporate environmental responsibility have created a greatly increased demand for more effective and benign management options. 

PS2 Offers Proven Reliability And Operational Flexibility. 

It is unique in North America offering the advantages of a fixed treatment facility with one of the most broad operational approvals for a facility of its type along with the mobile option of deploying the same state-of the-art technology at any site worldwide. Our management team has done this successfully on 5 continents since 1996. 

PS2 Maintains The Experience And Expertise To Provide, You, The Client, With A Turnkey Solution.

Our team has developed remedial action plans for brownfield sites around the world and carried them through regulatory liaison and public consultation while providing integrated site delineation, excavation and transportation services.  Combining these services with direct access to a treatment facility offers many opportunities for cost savings and more efficient operations.

Our History

The Senior Management Team of Phase Separation Solutions originally developed the Thermal Phase Separation (TPS) technology in the 1990s and first deployed it in 1996 in Canada. Over the next ten years they continued to improve the technology and expand their geographic reach eventually working in over a dozen countries on 5 continents. 

Patented Thermal Phase Separation (TPS) Technology

To Choose Phase Separation Solutions Is To Choose One Of The Most Advanced Thermal Treatment Technologies Available.

The patented Thermal Phase Separation (TPS) technology is a unique example of a group of technologies referred to as Low Temperature Indirect Thermal Desorption.

The system is capable of safely extracting all hydrocarbon contaminants from soil and sludge using indirectly applied heat in an enclosed extraction chamber.  The hydrocarbons are heated to the point of volatilization and are removed from the chamber where they are condensed and separated for final disposition.  Chlorinated organic hydrocarbons such as PCBs , dioxins or pesticides are carefully contained for 3rd party destruction while non-hazardous hydrocarbons such as diesel or crude oil are filtered and recycled.  Unlike incineration, the entire process is done without producing any harmful air emissions as the contaminants never come into contact with the flame from the heat source.  As a result the system is much more readily approved by regulators for mobile deployment, accepted by the public and produces only a fraction of the greenhouse gases commonly associated with thermal treatment of hazardous soils.

A basic TPS system consists of 4 components which include the Control Unit, Extraction Chamber, Vapour Recovery Unit and NC Gas/Water Treatment Unit.  Each component is designed for transport as standard intermodal units to reduce cost and transport complications.

TPS systems are available in small or large capacity configurations.   A basic TPS 2EC system can treat up to a 55 metric tonnes of material per day while a TPS 3EC system has a capacity of 144 metric tonnes with an operational crew of only 5 personnel.  Production with either system can be can be doubled or tripled through the addition of one or two Extraction Chambers while requiring minimal no additional personnel.
