Our Capabilities

We design and support a wide range of combustion and waste treatment systems, including:

Hazardous Waste Incineration – Rotary kiln, fluidized bed, and controlled-air designs for solids, sludges, liquids, and vapors

Explosives & Propellant Destruction – Thermal treatment systems designed to safely process energetic and reactive materials

Off-Gas Treatment Systems – Scrubbers, filters, and oxidizers for particulate, acid gas, VOC, and metal removal

Solvent Recovery & Distillation – Closed-loop and continuous systems for organic solvent capture and reuse

Scrubber Water Neutralization – Sodium or calcium-based systems for treating acid gas residues

Combustion Air Systems – Forced and induced draft systems, burner management, and airflow control

Ash and Residue Handling – Automated systems for removal, cooling, and safe disposal of combustion byproducts

 

Environmental Compliance Integration

We design combustion and treatment systems with full consideration of applicable local, state, and federal environmental regulations. Our engineering approach incorporates:

  • Real-time emissions monitoring (CEMS)
  • Acid gas and halogen scrubbing
  • Mercury, dioxin, and heavy metal removal
  • NOx reduction via SCR, SNCR, or combustion tuning
  • PSM and RCRA compliance strategies
  • Permitting support and documentation
Applications

Franklin Engineering Group supports waste treatment operations for:

  • Energetic and explosive residues
  • Solvent and vapor-laden process waste
  • Chemical weapons demilitarization
  • Pharmaceutical and specialty chemical waste
  • Industrial wastewater with hazardous constituents
  • Off-spec or expired product destruction
  • Updates and News
