Clean Harbors Aragonite L.L.C. Permit
Aragonite is a commercial incinerator, transfer, and storage facility located in a remote area of Tooele County, Utah. It was formerly known as Safety-Kleen (Aragonite) Inc., Laidlaw Environmental Services (Aragonite), Inc. and Aptus, Inc. The incinerator is a 140 million Btu slagging rotary kiln with a vertical afterburner chamber. The gas cleaning train consists of a spray dryer, baghouse, saturator, wet scrubber, and wet electrostatic precipitator. Permitted waste storage areas include a bulk liquid tank farm (sixteen ~30,000 gallon tanks); drum storage buildings (~10,000 drum capacity); sludge storage tanks (~38,000 gallon total capacity); and bulk solids storage tanks (~1100 yd3 total capacity).
The wastes that are handled at the facility include hazardous wastes, PCBs, industrial wastes, and other non-hazardous wastes. The facility is designed to handle high and low Btu liquid wastes, sludges, bulk solids, and containerized wastes.
The current permitted capacity of the incinerator is approximately 13 tons per hour. It typically processes approximately 50,000 tons per year. Operations occur 24 hours a day. There are approximately 180 employees at the site.
The Permit on-line not official copy (please contact us for updated permit information) was reissued by the Executive Secretary of the Utah Solid And Hazardous Waste Control Board on May 8, 2000.
