Metals treatment

The metal treatment facility provides a series of services: Segmentation, decontamination, melting (up to 5,000 tons per year), clearance and recycling of produced metal ingots and characterisation and conditioning of secondary waste for return to customer. Large components weighing up to maximum 400 tons and with lengths up to 30 meters can be accepted for treatment. The average recycling rate for the 40,000 tons treated is in a range of 95%.

Thermal treatment of organic waste by incineration or pyrolysis

Dry active waste (plastics, paper, textiles, wood etc.), liquids (oils and water solutions), activated charcoal from filters, and some ion exchange resins. Up to 600 tons per year are treated. All treatment is performed in isolated campaigns to return the residues to the owner.
The pyrolysis facility is fully dedicated to dry active waste from nuclear fuel factories. The aim with the process is to make a breakdown of the organics in a controlled atmosphere and at temperatures which makes it possible to recover the uranium in the ashes after treatment. The uranium in the ashes can then be put back into the nuclear fuel production process.
A high-volume reduction is obtained with both processes.

Material and waste characterisation

Cyclife Sweden has multiple ways to characterise materials and waste :  A well equipped analytical laboratory in which chemical and radiological analyses are performed, secondary waste characterisation station, a highly shielded clearance measurement facility (capacity 2,500 tons per year) and mobile characterisation units for in-field characterisation services.
