Our Service

----- Start of picture text -----

Intec recycles heavy metals and precious metals from
industrial wastes – sludges, filter cakes, dusts or waste
waters.
Instead of creating extra waste by trying to lock these metals
up in cement then disposing of them to landfill, Intec
extracts and recovers them as useful mineral products.

Recycling Heavy Metal Waste

• heavy metal sludges and filter cakes from the surface finishing industry

• • high levels of contamination • no previous acceptable solution, not even landfill

• • the waste had been accumulating for 15 years

• • Intec provides an ongoing economic and environmentally-superior recycling option

Current Project: Galvanising Industry Wastes

• Steel is dipped in hydrochloric acid prior to hot-dip galvanising

• Over time, the acid strength decreases, and the acid accumulates iron, zinc and other contaminants

• This ‘spent pickle liquor’ is conventionally disposed of as a waste, by first precipitating the metals with alkali, then dumping the heavy metal waste in landfill

• Intec has proposed a cleaner, cheaper zero waste alternative process to recycle the metals and acid back into useful products

• Stage 1 testwork of a $2.8 million project was successfully completed during the first quarter of 2010

• • EPA Vi c t or a s con i i t r ib u ti ng 7 $ 8 0,000 rom f th e H az W as t e un f d

• This project is expected to yield a full-scale recycling facility by 2011, for the recycling of a minimum of 1,000,000 litres per annum of spent pickle liquor

Developing and Future Opportunities

• Four waste recycling projects in China

• • Metal sludges, solids, filter cakes and waste waters • Metal wastewaters (chlorides, fluorides, sulphates, ammonia, etc)

• • Plating industry chromium wastes • Timber industry ‘CCA’ (copper chrome arsenate) wastes

• • Acid mine drainage and mineral residues (jarosites, pyrites, tailings)

• • Battery chemical wastes • Electronic wastes (lead from CRT monitors, precious metals from circuit boards)

General Challenges to Waste Industry Market Entrants

• Small companies are typically not well resourced , either in terms of capital or human inputs.

• The decision to target a new business opportunity takes up disproportionately large amount of people’s time, emotions and company costs.

• Small companies can’t afford to loss-lead or to make too many mistakes in developing and learning the business.

• The new business needs to be self-sustaining as soon as possible.

• The new business needs to complement existing company skills and be backed by the company business strategy.

• W as t e genera ll y as on y a nega h l ti ve e ff ec t on n i d us t ry s o ’ b tt om ne. li

• • The market is dominated by the big players, competing strongly on price.

• It can be difficult for regulators to assess the true merits of various options.

• New companies and technologies can be a threat to the status quo.

Challenges in Environmental Regulation

• Environmental regulation is largely state-based and highly fragmented.

• It can be difficult for small companies to operate or market in more than one or two jurisdictions.

• Most states are happy to export wastes, few are happy to import.

• Licensing is (should be?) more of a procedural issue than a stumbling block for clean technology.

• It is in the common interest of the people, government and industry to find the best environmental outcomes at the lowest costs, within Australia .

• A goa l o f regu a l ti on s o os i t f t er es b t prac ti ce, u b t …

• • There are restrictions limiting the ability of regulators to foster communication between companies.

• Information is gathered through mandatory reporting avenues, but is not collated or made available, even in non-identifying form.

• Government Support and Funding • There are a range of Federal and State government support programmes for small businesses.

• • There are also a range of funding programmes. However, some general comments: • Much policy attention directed towards ‘carbon’ projects. • $50k here or there doesn’t go very far in terms of tangible whole-of-Australia outcomes.

• • The administrative burden of many government programmes substantially erodes the benefit of the funding to the small business.

• • St a t e- b ase d programmes can e very m b li iti ng, w h ere whole-of-Australia solutions are preferable to yield viable businesses.

Recommendations and Remarks

• Best practice waste recycling needs to be reinforced and supported through • greater sharing of information – driven by the regulators, and • through greater disincentives to export and landfill.

• Regulators need to be allowed to be the proponents providing introduction between industry and innovators.

• States’ legislation should be standardised.

• A willingness to transport wastes across state borders without undue additional procedures, delays and costs should be supported strongly.

• Start - up support from industry and government is crucial to the success of small companies this ‘new’ field.

• • Environmentally disadvantageous alternatives should be made more expensive

• • Governments, local, State and Federal should, through eg lower (or higher) charges or tax incentives, give support to those who are innovative.

• Industry representative groups have a major role to play both for the detriment and advancement of innovative solutions.
