1. Physico-Chemical Treatment
Neutralization of strong acids and alkalis, cyanide detoxification, hexavalent chromium reduction, and heavy metal precipitation into insoluble hydroxides followed by filter-press dewatering.

Special waste treatment in Algeria : Multi-stream engineered processes
Because no two industrial waste streams are identical, INCINERO KBH deploys complementary processes (thermal, physico-chemical, mineral stabilization, and bioremediation) for 100% compliant disposal.
ENGINEERED TECHNOLOGIES
Four complementary treatment streams for special waste
In accordance with Algerian Executive Decree No. 06-104 establishing the official nomenclature of special wastes, we direct each industrial stream to the most efficient and environmentally compliant processing line.
2. A4000 Thermal Oxidation
High-temperature incineration (> 1,100 °C) with a dedicated secondary combustion chamber ensuring a gas residence time exceeding 2 seconds for the total breakdown of chlorinated aromatics and toxic organics.
3. Solidification & Stabilization
Mineral encapsulation utilizing pozzolanic and hydraulic binders to chemically trap heavy metals and prevent leaching into groundwater aquifers prior to secure Class 1 landfilling.
4. Biological Bioremediation
Controlled aerobic microbial degradation and bio-augmentation on engineered biopiles for treating soils contaminated with light hydrocarbons and organic refinery sludges.
Environmental Standards & Facility Guarantees
Operating at our modern El Attaf complex, our facility operates in compliance with Best Available Techniques (BAT):
- Impermeable containment basins with double HDPE geomembranes to guard against accidental spillage.
- Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) tracking CO, NOx, SO2, HCl, and particulates 24/7.
- On-site analytical chemical laboratory ensuring acceptance controls and residue stability testing.
- Systematic delivery of Prior Acceptance Certificates (CAP) and official Waste Manifests (BSD).
PROCESS FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions on Special Waste Processes
What is the legal difference between special waste and hazardous waste in Algeria?
Under Algerian Law 01-19 and Executive Decree 06-104, Special Waste (S) encompasses all industrial non-municipal waste. If exhibiting toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or infectious traits, it is designated as Special Hazardous Waste (SD) requiring certified thermal or physico-chemical treatment.
How is the appropriate treatment process selected for a specific waste stream?
Our analytical laboratory conducts prior characterization (PCI, flash point, halogens, heavy metals, and toxicity). Depending on results, the stream is routed to A4000 incineration, chemical neutralization, or hydraulic binder stabilization.
