Portable Tanks
Containing and collecting oil and contaminated water is only half the battle in a clean up operation. Often storing the hazardous material presents a larger practical problem at site.
ELATEC offers a wide range of tanks that can be easily erected and packed on site. This makes storage and transportation of this equipment much more practical in areas where the environment is challenging to work in.
Also available are floating tanks/bladders that can be deployed in the water and towed either full or empty.
Floating Barriers
The ELASTEC now includes the expertise of American Marine which was a company that focused on a wider range of water cleaning solutions.
From trash and solid floating waste to biological growth such as seaweed and algae, to turbidity and silt curtains a wide range of berries are available.
Custom solutions can be tailored for specific customer requirements.
Portable Vacuums
Whether dealing with solids or liquids and everything in between, you will require a robust and reliable vacuuming system to handle waste quickly and efficiently at site.
ELASTEC manufacturers a wide range of portable systems that can easily be integrated onto specialized vehicles to ensure you have a powerful mobile platform to work with at site.
Incinerators & Disposal
Disposal of hazardous and controlled substances can be expensive inconvenient and dangerous. Especially in isolated locations where collection from municipalities is difficult or impossible.
The Mediburn series of furnaces provides a safe and effective means of disposal at remote locations. Reliable and easy to use ELASTEC has successfully deployed units throughout the world and have an excellent track record in the most difficult of conditions
