At its facility within Severstal Sparrows Point Steel Facility in Sparrows Point, Md., Kroff Materials Reprocessing has established a used oil recovery and recycling facility that saves one customer alone more than $700,000 annually. Other reprocessing projects KMR has implemented include: - A 70-million-gallon-per-day municipal gray water reuse project that benefits the publicly owned treatment works and the industrial user. Savings from the project are more than $1 million annually;
- A metals hydroxide solid waste processing, recycling and disposal project focused on regulatory compliance and volume reduction; and
- Environmental waste oil collection projects along the eastern United States through which energy costs are being reduced by more than 20 percent on average.
| | | In 2004, Kroff, Inc. saw an opportunity to bridge its expertise and experience in industrial wastewater treatment to the reuse and recycling of other industrial byproducts, especially oil, but also including mill scales. To help industrial facilities find innovative approaches to decrease operating costs through reuse and recycling, as well as comply with environmental regulations, Kroff Materials Reprocessing was created.
Reducing industrial waste disposal costs by increasing reuse and recycling of secondary process materials, such as oil, wastewater and process solids, makes sense for everyone involved - the facility generating the waste, regulatory agencies enforcing environmental rules, and the environment. From design-build-own-operate-maintain projects to on-site consulting, KMR helps with your industrial reuse or recycling needs.
Reuse and recycling: Keys to resource conservation
Beyond cost savings, KMR helps industry do its part to save the environment. Reusing and recycling non-hazardous industrial materials are keys to our long-term resource conservation efforts. The beneficial uses of high-volume, non-hazardous materials are expanding, with a number of applications gaining market and regulatory acceptance, particularly in the areas of metals, transportation, construction and energy production. KMR looks for ways to increase safe reuse and recycling of industrial materials by developing business partnerships with industries that generate these materials.
Reuse and recycling of industrial byproducts has important benefits for the environment. - In the United States, landfill space is limited and transportation and disposal expenses can be high. Projects that promote the reuse and recycling of otherwise discarded industrial wastes save precious landfill space, make sense for the environment, and, in many cases, save the generator money.
- Recycling and reuse of industrial byproducts into produced goods decrease the need for new raw materials. Recycled materials are often less expensive to the end user, and the recovery of these materials often requires less effort and energy, ultimately helping to preserve natural resources and the environment.
- Managing the reuse or the recycling of industrial byproducts at the source reduces energy needed to dispose of it later and is good for the environment.
Regulatory agencies at local, state and federal levels are recognizing the advantages for the environment, the community at large, and industry and are encouraging the expansion of reuse and recycling projects throughout the country.
