Establishing treatment technologies by detoxification of PCBs with the SD method

Formerly used in transformer oil, the manufacture, use and importation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) was completely prohibited after their toxicity became apparent, but the treatment of products containing PCBs had become a problem. Consequently, in 1995, the Nippon Soda group developed our unique treatment technologies by detoxification of PCBs, the SD (sodium dispersion) method.
Treatment is possible at low temperatures, under normal pressure and in a short time, allowing for simple treatment facilities and on-site treatment.
Due to these merits, it is now used at the Japan Environmental Safety Corporation’s (JESCO) business establishment in Kitakyushu and private power companies.
