The venture Capital firm "FID-D" has developed unique equipment in Russia for the disposal of mercury-containing waste and gold mining. The URL-2m unit operates on the basis of a patented thermodemercurization technology. URL-2m is designed for companies which deal with collection, transportation, disposal, neutralization, disposal of waste, landfills, metallurgical and gold mining plants, city administrations, commercial organizations that collect and dispose wastes.
The URL-2m unit is made for thermal demercurization (removal of mercury) from fluorescent lamps of all types and burners of high-pressure mercury lamps of the DRL type, energy-saving lamps. URL-2m can also be used for demercurization of mercury-containing industrial waste: out of work mercury-filled devices (thermometers, ignitrons, mercury contacts, pressure gauges, etc.); used monitors (cathode ray tubes); mercury-contaminated ground (soils), constructing materials, sorbents, metal amalgams.
The Principle of the URL-2m ThermoDemercurization Unit Operation
It is based on the thermal distillation of mercury from mechanically destroyed mercury lamp flasks in high vacuum, it is followed by vapor condensation on the surface of a low-temperature trap operating at a temperature of -196 °C.
The combination of the vacuum distillation principle with cryogenic technology for condensation of mercury vapor on the trap surface makes it possible to achieve a high rate of demercurization of the cullet, a low residual concentration of mercury in the cullet at a very low level of mercury vapor concentration in the exhaust gases of the installation (below the maximum permissible concentration for mercury in the residential area).
URL-2m Advantages
- 100% removal of mercury from waste.
- It works with any kind of mercury-containing devices and materials (thermometers, putty, contaminated soil, fluorescent and energy-saving lamps, etc.).
- The environmental safety of using URL-2m is confirmed by the necessary conclusions and declared.
- The URL-2m unit can be supplied in a stationary or mobile version.
- High equipment productivity with low energy consumption.
- The option to use the released mercury in the industrial production, to use cullet in the process of road or construction work.
The Package
The standard delivery package of the ordered equipment includes:
- URL-2m unit;
- ZIP;
- removable crushing mill;
- documents for the equipment.
For more information about the technical specifications and prices of URL-2m and other waste treatment equipment, please contact our managers. They will answer all your questions, tell you about the maintenance and modernization services of the units we previously supplied. A 1-year warranty is valid for thermodemercurization complexes.
The URL-2M unit meets the requirements of PB 11-550-03. The device extracts up to 99% mercury. The concentration of hazardous metal vapors in exhaust gases is below the maximum permissible concentration limit and does not exceed 0.0003 mg/m3. It heats the chamber from 200 to 450 °C, depending on the type of waste. The average power consumption is 15 kW.
Room requirements:
- Power supply – 3*380V + ground loop;
- area – from 20 sq. m.;
- availability of an autonomous exhaust ventilation system, a staff room with a shower and workwear boxes.
Periodically (at least once every six months) you have to carry out preventive cleaning of the unit. You need to warm up the unit (without lamps) to a temperature of 250 degrees, keep it at this temperature at least for an hour and heat the external metal parts of the unit (before entering the NTL) with hot air (with a hair dryer) at the same time.
VF "FID-D" collects, transports, neutralizes, and disposes of mercury-containing waste all around the Russian Federation. The "FID-D" venture capital firm maintains and modernizes previously supplied equipment.
The warranty period is 1 year, at the request of the customer the warranty can be prolonged to 2 years. The price for the URL-2M unit starts from 8,400,000 rubles (we work without VAT). For more information, please, call: 8 963 764 41 56 or email: fid@dubna.ru.
