Got about 20000 gallons of a nonyl phenol/phenol mix from cleaning nonyl phenol heels out of tanks. We have a Haz waste BIF so we have the option of applying for a Class 2 permit mod to burn it, which would take several months by the time the public comment etc took place. I'm looking for some other options in the meantime. Shipping it off as hazardous waste would be about $250,000 so need a less expensive alternative to present too.
THanks.
