Waste Management Services
At Phoenix Decom, our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring your decommissioning waste is managed safely and in full compliance with all relevant waste management services regulations.
We are committed to applying the waste hierarchy to maximise recovery rates and seek opportunities for reuse whenever possible. Through a network of authorised and approved waste management facilities and registered waste carriers, we aim to recycle, reuse, or treat at least 97% of waste from subsea decommissioning projects.
Our work is supported by innovative techniques, such as the use of specialised subsea baskets that improve both safety and efficiency during decommissioning operations.
Our Waste Management Services
NORM Waste Disposal Handling:
NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials) waste requires expertise and strict regulatory compliance. Phoenix Decom safely decontaminates and disposes of NORM waste using specialised treatment facilities.
Our process includes:
- Decontamination & Safe Packaging: Sludge and scale are processed securely for offsite disposal.
- Effluent Analysis & Disposal: Processed effluent is analysed and disposed of per regulatory requirements.
- Certified Destruction: A Certificate of Destruction is issued post-incineration, ensuring compliance with SEPA permits.
- Full Waste Tracking: Total waste weight is recorded for accountability.
Advanced Waste Processing Technologies:
Phoenix Decom integrates cutting-edge equipment to manage and reduce decommissioning waste safely and efficiently. Our in-house material handlers, excavators with shear attachments, and specialised cutting tools minimise manual handling risks while improving waste segregation and processing speeds.
Benefits of our approach:
- Enhanced Safety: Reducing manual handling and exposure risks.
- Optimised Processing: Improving efficiency in waste sorting and reduction.
- Cost-Effective Waste Management: Reducing disposal costs by maximising recovery rates.
Controlled Waste Disposal:
We manage controlled waste streams in compliance with environmental regulations, working with Approved Waste Suppliers and Registered Waste Carriers to ensure responsible disposal.
How we ensure compliance:
- Waste Segregation: Materials are categorised for optimal recycling and disposal.
- Transfer & Consignment Notes: Full documentation for each waste load, ensuring traceability.
- Regulatory Oversight: Our Environmental Manager monitors all waste movements and compliance records.
- Responsible Recycling: Ensuring waste is directed to the most sustainable treatment options.
Advanced Waste Processing Technologies:
Phoenix Decom offers expert waste brokering through our dedicated and experienced Business Development Manager, helping you manage waste efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our brokering service includes:- Accurate labelling for compliant transport.
- Complete documentation, including SEPA Notes and Dangerous Goods Notes where required.
- End-to-end transport coordination with licensed carriers.
