The Crystal Flash Environmental Services, has a full service in-house laboratory to analyze oil samples. Crystal Flash can also provide assistance in analyzing other types of wastes. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality suggests that a generator has each wastestream analyzed every three years or when the process generating the waste changes.
Waste Stream Analysis
Crystal Flash's team of experts will profile any type of waste a company generates by taking an on site sample of the waste and then analyzing that sample. Once an analysis has been completed, Crystal Flash will provide a disposition of the waste and offer specific recommendations as to how the waste should be processed.
Oil Analysis
Crystal Flash can analysis used oils to ensure it has not been contaminated with hazardous waste. Crystal Flash uses ASTM and EPA test methods. Used oils will be tested for:
Used oils with 1,000ppm or greater total halogen concentration will require additional testing by gas chromatograph to analysis for halogenated solvents.
Process Wastewaters
Wastewater that comes from any individual process needs to be analyzed to determine the proper treatment for the material. Process wastewaters are tested for:
Waste Analysis and TCLP
A representative sample of a waste can be analyzed to identify any hazardous constituents. The waste can be tested for ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, and toxicity (TCLP). TCLP (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure) is an analytical test method to determine whether or not the waste is capable of releasing toxic metals and toxic organics in the physical conditions encountered in a landfill.
