EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Clean Leaf International Corporation, formerly known as Clean Leaf Industrial Sales, is a waste
treatment and recovery company and a hazardous and non-hazardous waste transporter. It
provides environmental services through materials recovery and treatment of spent materials,
market returns and condemned items. It is the only company in the Philippines with an
Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) issued by the Department of Science and Technology
(DOST) in coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).

Environmental Technology Verification (ETV for brevity) is the process of testing and verifying how
an environmental technology performs based on the claims of technology supplier, under defined
conditions during the assessment stage. It also assesses whether a certain technology reduces
wastes and manufacturing costs, and if it minimizes risks to human and environment.

Clean Leaf International Corporation has its own Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) that pioneers
the concept of managing both non-hazardous scrap materials and hazardous industrial wastes
through multi-component recovery and product reformulation. This concept recognizes the
importance of Pollution Prevention (P2) such that those that are generally classified as “wastes”
are still considered as resources. This means that Clean Leaf has developed process lines that
prioritizes recycling and reclamation over the less environment friendly treatment and disposal
modes of waste management.

Clean Leaf also provides hazardous waste transport services to its clients, which empowers the
company to directly oversee the strict implementation of in-house standard operating procedures
(SOPs) – from waste transfer, to processing, and to the final management of residuals.

More importantly, the MRF has unique process design that prioritizes sorting and segregation of
recyclable materials while subjecting the hazardous materials to treatment, storage and disposal
within the facility. During the treatment process heat energy is being utilized promoting a “Waste
to Energy” turned into chemically stable fused slag.

In addition to the above-mentioned services, our company is able to provide reliable,
dependable and safe protocol for SHIP TANK CLEANING – ONSHORE / OFFSHORE.

Over and above the technology mentioned earlier, our company utilizes other
appropriate technology like microbes/enzymes/environment-friendly chemicals as one
of our cleaning agent to achieve a sound and compliant disposal of liquid waste. The
same technology will be rendered to accommodate an ON / OFF SITE TREATMENT
PROCESS, such as, but not limited to Bio-remediation for every organic waste.

 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

Figure 1 shows the plant layout for the waste treatment and recovery facility. There are
areas designated for the processing of each specific type of wastes and scrap materials.
Stream segregation modes and system allocations are based on the factors of chemical
compatibility, safety, ease in materials handling, and accessibility to emergency response
procedures.

The field office is situated at the entrance to the facility to supervise and control the
transport of materials in and out of the plant. It has its own cistern or septic tank to
manage the generated domestic wastes. Adjacent to the Tool Room is a mini laboratory
room dedicated for on-site materials testing and process control procedures. Pertinent
documents are also available to the facility personnel for easy reference. It is also equipped
with appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE) to be worn as soon as the workers
enter the facility.

The storage area for processed chemicals and recovered materials is placed adjacent to the
laboratory under the supervision of the facility’s technical personnel. Chemical storage and
segregation schemes are based on the physico-chemical properties provided by the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Chemical compatibilities and indoor air conditions are
duly maintained in this area.

The receiving area allocated for incoming waste materials is a huge space located near the
parking lot. Spillages during the unloading of materials are minimized by the ergonomic
layout and by the construction of secondary containment or berms, that render the
materials impermeable to the ground. Sludge, solid wastes, and unrecoverable used oils
that will be fed directly to the gasification chamber are temporarily stored at a distance for
safety reasons but its location is still near enough for materials transfer.

The distillation units for solvent recovery are placed near the boiler, which is its source of
energy; this is done in order to simplify the piping layout yet is physically separated by a
firewall. The gasification chamber is located next to the boiler to accomplish energy
recovery. The hot flue gas from the gasification chamber is co-fed to the boiler in order to
extract the waste heat instead of releasing it immediately to the atmosphere.

TREATMENT PROCESS DESCRIPTION

In general, the facility employs a series of unit operations and processes to separate the
impurities from the feed wastes, rendering them environmentally acceptable to manage.
Depending on the characteristics of the incoming waste materials, waste-specific processes
are employed to perform stage-wise removal of impurities before the relatively pure
materials are stored for analyses. Figure 2 shows the comprehensive process flow diagram
adopted by Clean Leaf International Corporation.

Recovered wastes are subjected to various tests in order to gauge the purity vis-à-vis the
market value of the recovered materials. Residuals are subjected to the gasification
chamber where the bottom ash is collected by cementitous fixation. The fitted air emission
control devices also work not only as pollution abatement equipment but also as additional
units to maintain a closed-loop system for materials recovery.

Module 1: Recovery of Solvents

Solvents are typically organic compounds that are used by industries in pulp and paper
production, metals and allied processes, construction, chemical manufacture, production of
petroleum products, electronics, paints and resins, cleaning and maintenance, and in
laboratory analyses. Spent solvents contain certain impurities such as suspended solids,
extracted materials and water media, which can be separated to produce a technical grade
recovered product using simultaneous heat and mass transfer operations.

The physico-chemical characteristic of the spent solvents is shown in the analysis or we

refer to the laboratory results submitted by the clients as reflected in the hazardous waste
manifests. Depending on the amount and nature of the adhering solid impurities, the
waste solvents are first subjected to filtration or tank settling prior to distillation. In
distillation, the operating temperature and pressure are set at a certain value to induce the
separation of the components by virtue of its relative volatility.

FIGURE 3 : DISTILLATION UNITS

The operation is carried out by batch mode, gradually collecting the more volatile
component by condensation. The less volatile components are collected in the still and
also stored.

The company also incorporates a policy for continuous improvement schemes and the
close-loop recycling in optimizing the operational parameters set for the distillation units.
Special considerations are given to solvent mixtures that exhibit azeotropic behavior. The
company was able to get a permit to handle, treat and recycle methyl-, tri- and
perchloroethylene. The recovered chlorinated solvents are returned to the generator for
reuse ( Treatment Process for Used Oil Contaminated with PCE).

Module 2: Treatment of Acid/Alkali Wastes

Equalization and neutralization stage - the purpose of equalization and neutralization is to

minimize and/ or control fluctuations in the characteristics of the incoming materials to
provide optimum condition for subsequent treatment processes prior to the succeeding
stage. A receiving tank for used oil and solvents is provided for the neutralization of acids
and alkali. In the case of sludge and spent ink, size reduction equipment will be used and
physical separation of the materials will be conducted to ensure the uniformity of
composition before it will be processed to the succeeding stage.

Oils, greases and suspended solids will be removed to prepare the waste steam to the next
stage. Volatile compounds will pass through a settling tank with filtration to remove
contaminants. A segregation/recovery area is used to separate the miscellaneous wastes.

Secondary Treatment Stage

Biological-Thermo-chemical treatment stage- In this stage, biological degradation of soluble

organic compounds is done via the digesters, acidification tank and mixing tanks.

Module 3: Treatment/Recovery of Organic/Inorganic Sludge

Some organic and inorganic sludge can be fired directly at the fluidized-bed gasifier. For
organic sludge with high heating value, reformulation is being done to recover its heating
value and can be used as alternative fuel.

Module 4: Recovery of Used Oil

Used oil is generated practically by all industries employing mechanical equipment that
need to be maintained, cleaned, or lubricated. Also, spent oils are generated by the heavy
industries such as petroleum, power plants and mining, and by gasoline stations, meat and
fish processing industries, metals and allied industries, oleo chemicals, marine transport,
and auto repair shops.

The used oil serves as a co-fuel for boiler operations through the gasification equipment.
Its high heating value enables the gasification chamber to produce enough heat to
counterbalance the energy loss accounted for high water content from other wastes such as
that of bilge water. This scheme of co-firing has even been adopted by many power plants
as a supplementary fuel to produce steam-generated electricity, thus conserving the
dwindling fuel resources in the country.

 For special types of oily wastes such as used
lubricating oils, Clean Leaf International Corporation
alternately adopts a materials recovery scheme in
order to separate the useful component and purify
it for alternative uses. Used oil is settled by gravity
over a specified retention time and/or is clarified
directly inside the storage tanks to separate the
settle able impurities.
Figure 4: Dehydration Unit

Then, these materials are fed to the

distillation units to gradually separate the
more volatile components. The resulting
product in the still is purified oil that can be
re-used by industries either for cleaning
and lubrication. Collected residues are fed
to the gasification chamber for further
materials recovery of the ash
Figure 5: Storage tanks for recovered oil

Module 5: Cementitous Fixation of Fused Ash / Slag

The bottom slag collected from the gasification will be solidified/stabilized or fixated using
cementitous materials. With cement and lime as binding agents, the molded product will be in
the form of cement molds or other matrices, which will be subjected to Toxicity Characteristic
Leaching Procedure (TCLP) prior to beneficial use or final disposal.
The bottom ash is collected from the hopper of the
gasification chamber only once a week or as
needed. This waste stream is a high-density
material (as compared to ordinary bottom ash)
because of fusion of its inorganic constituents
into slag. As a result, the ash is free of any
volatile matter.
To avoid any air pollutant generation during the
mixing of the fused ash into cement molds,
Clean Leaf has constructed peripheral wind
barriers and impermeable berms that hold the
preparation of the mixture (cement, sand, slag,
Figure 6 : Slag Cement Mixer
setting time regulators) during the actual
mixing.

Module 6: Scrap Material Reformulation with Close-Loop Recycling

Scrap materials referred to any substance, either

raw materials or market excesses, that contain at
least one component that can be used as an
additive for producing chemical mixtures for
alternative applications other than its original
marketable form (e.g. glycerin-based sludge.)
Such materials are not considered as hazardous
wastes because they are in the form of consumer
products in properly packaged materials, which
only need to be sent to an offsite recycling facility
because of expiry or for disposal purposes. Figure 7: Mixers and steam jacketed
kettles for reformulation
Clean Leaf International Corporation has developed its own chemical formulary for
different types of scrap materials. This formulary equips the processing supervisor in
transforming recyclable materials products of a different form, which will be sold to
scrappers in bulk. Scrap material reformulation only involves mixing and other simple unit
operations including size reduction and heat transfer with no chemical reactions. Solid
wastes with organic contaminations are reused and recycled through the process of
treatment with organic solvents prior to rinsing and drying.

Module 7: Waste Water Treatment

First is characterization wherein history of waste water, pH, BOD, etc. will be characterize
and influent status will be determined. Neutralization will take place wherein pH level of
waste water will be adjusted. It should range between 5.5 to 7.

The next stage will be Aerobic Digestion wherein biodegradable substance in the absence
of oxygen will be broken down by microorganisms. This will be followed by activation
through Aeration of special type of microorganisms. The microorganisms retreat the water
and at the same time, intakes the sludge converting it to CO2 and water. Disinfection of
water or Chlorination will take place as its final stage of treatment.
