Eberline Services' Segmented Gate System (SGS) is a cost-effective approach to soil remediation, which can function as a stand-alone technology or can be coupled with other types of soil treatment technologies. The SGS is a characterization and sorting technology that measures the radioactivity of soil as it passes through on a conveyor belt, and automatically separates the portion exceeding the cleanup standards. The key advantage to the SGS is automation, which affords a much higher degree of precision and accuracy compared with manual systems. Also, all of the soil to be treated or disposed is analyzed, not just sampled, and the level of radioactivity is documented in both the contaminated and clean streams.
Benefits
- Cost effectively reduces the
volume of radioactive
contamination in soil and material.
- Sorts soil and material
mechanically, making chemical
treatment unnecessary.
- Generates no secondary waste stream
- Provides 100-percent assay of all
material processed.
The SGS removes radionuclides from feed materials in accordance with site release criteria, including:
Cesium-137
Cobalt-60
Radium-226
Thorium-232
Uranium-238
Americium-241
