The VLS Fuel Blend is an alternative fuel product consisting of NHSM (non-haz secondary materials) like sludges, industrial liquids, used oil, oily waters, filter cakes, latex residues, carbon black, and other non-haz liquids and semisolids. The Fuel Blend is then solidified with saw dust and SAP (super-absorbent polymers) to produce an easily flowable and dry material with high density. These materials are then blended, shredded, and stored as an engineered fuel for use in cement kilns, lime kilns, and other combustion processes. Our Fuel Blend is an excellent industry leading alternative to fossil fuels. Discover the potential of VLS’s Alternative Engineered Fuels at https://lnkd.in/dT7bzz53.

The combined strength of our six Southwest locations allows for a comprehensive set of solutions for your waste disposal needs. Waste-to Energy is a significant solution for California non-haz waste – one that reduces the carbon footprint, saves coal, and natural gas, and reduces landfill of ash from combustion processes. Conveniently located to serve industries across the region, our facilities are ready to support your sustainability and zero waste goals with efficient, environmentally responsible waste management options.

VLS introduces Fuel Ready, now enhanced with our innovative treated carbon black (TCB) additive. Utilizing our innovative technology, TCB encapsulates carbon black into a liquid slurry, ensuring the elimination of airborne particles while boosting BTU content. This advancement optimizes performance in kilns, providing an eco-friendly and efficient energy solution. Discover the potential of VLS’s Alternative Engineer Fuels at https://lnkd.in/dT7bzz53
