Research & Development
THIS strives to ensure that it is as the forefront in being able to address mercury-related issues for our clients, as well as ourselves, and as such carries out continuous in-depth research and development on all of our processes and technologies.
THIS was founded and built upon military-grade chemical decontamination practices and methodology, while using internal and customer-funded R&D to further develop chemical technologies, analytical methods, proprietary equipment and decontamination applications (both manual and semi-automated).
The continuous assessment and development of these technologies has enabled THIS to earn its place at the forefront of Industrial Mercury Management and
Decontamination, in conjunction with capabilities to manage other toxic and hazardous contaminants.
Utilising a suite of analytical systems and collaboration partners THIS performs in-house, client-based and 3rd party supported R&D for a range of scopes including, but not limited to:
- Development of Mercury desorption and decontamination chemicals
(MerCure) - Assessment and development of optimised decontamination techniques
- based on application
- based on product used
- Study and development of analytical practices and methodology
- industry-specific application
- comparative studies
- sampling protocols, errors, correlation and optimisation
- Assessment and development of application practices and procedures
- general
- customer/application-specific
- Study and assessment of PPE in toxic environments, work locations and hazmat conditions
- Single toxin assessment
- multi-toxin scenarios
- human limitations, exertions, biological response
- Product testing, assessment and optimisation of application
- lab scale tests
- field scale tests
- application/client-specific testing
- Design, implementation and service support of pilot test studies
Being in the unique situation of both service and product supply provides THIS with anunrivalled wealth of pertinent knowledge and experience with an industry specific understanding that ensures clients issues or concerns are addressed correctly and effectively.
