Welcome to Terra Materials
Terra Materials produces heavy metal stabilization reagents at facilities located though out the United States and are marketed under the brand name, TerraBond®.
TerraBond® Heavy Metal Stabilization Reagents
The TerraBond® family of reagents are tailored to meet the customer’s unique requirements based on the contaminant(s) of concern, waste matrix type, and site specific remediation goals. TerraBond® has been successfully used to meet a variety of regulatory standards established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), including:
- TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure)
- SPLP (Synthetic Precipitation Leaching Procedure)
- MEP (Multiple Extraction Procedure)
- Column Leach Methods
Advantages
Cost
Disposal cost of hazardous waste without stabilization can be as much as 60% higher than stabilizing wastes and disposal as a non-hazardous waste.
Regulatory
Regulatory agencies and customers alike are satisfied with the results when our reagents are used and in many cases, have recommended or required our reagents on future projects.
Logistics
Product Support
Research and Development
Terra Materials research and development efforts are geared toward assisting customers and regulatory agencies in finding cost effective and innovative ways to treat and manage metal impacted waste materials.
Treatability
Terra Materials treatability laboratory and personnel are experienced in the field of waste stabilization. This experience affords the customer the opportunity to discuss their specific project with people that “have been there before.”
Problem Solving
The combination of Terra Materials research and development, treatability capabilities, and manufacturing and distribution channels provides a powerful resource to its customers in solving difficult problems.
Chemistry
Some traditional treatment reagents merely “adjust” the pH to a range where certain metals are insoluble. Terra Materials products are buffered sulfur-based compounds that have proven to be effective in treating a wide range of inorganic metal waste streams.
