Waste Stream Technology, Inc. (WST)
A Western New York leader in the analytic testing of environmental samples.

Established in 1987, WST prides itself on providing excellent service and high quality analytical data. Expert attention from our laboratory managers and Quality Assurance/Control staff, who have years of experience performing analyses and reviewing environmental data, ensures accurate and reliable analytic results. WST is dedicated to your company. We will customize container schemes, analyses, and reports to your specific project and needs. Expedited results can be provided in as few as 6 hours, if scheduled. We have a state-of-the-art Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) which allows for immediate tracking and reporting of all samples, viewable to you in real time, on-line at www.wastestream.com.

Waste Stream Technology is your Full Service environmental laboratory.


Analytical

Our certified analytical department is top-rated in performing and reviewing analytical data. Our staff has over 50 years of combined experience in the field and laboratory setting. Confidence and attention to detail set WST apart, and ensure the accuracy of data to each and every client. Our analytical department has capabilities that include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • GC/MS – Semivolatile analysis (TCL, Priority Pollutants, NYS STARS list, TCLP)
  • GC/MS – Volatile analysis (TCL, Priority Pollutants, NYS STARS list, TCLP)
  • GC – Semivolatile analyses (PCB’s Pesticides, Herbicides, DRO)
  • GC – Volatile analysis (NYS STARS list by 8021B, GRO, Dissolved gases)
  • Metals – (Full list of metals by ICP and Graphite Furnace, Mercury by Cold Vapor analysis)
  • Conventional Chemistry – (Cyanide, Sulfide, Phenols, Phosphorus, Ammonia, BOD, COD, Ion Chromatography, Oil & Grease/TEH, TOC)


Radiochemistry

In 1999, Waste Stream Technology expanded and implemented a Radiochemistry Department, presently one of only a few laboratories certified in New York State. The Radchem department currently holds certification by the NYDOH, UDOH, NJDEP, PADEP, CTDOH, MADEP, MDDEP and the USACE. The primary focus is on the analysis of potable water for Gross Alpha, Gross Beta, Radium-226, Radium-228, Isotopic Uranium, Isotopic Thorium, and Gamma Spectroscopy/Photon Emitters. In addition, we are capable of analyzing a variety of matrices including non-potable water, soil, air filters, bioassay (urine) and smears.

Research & Development

Waste Stream Technology routinely performs biological, solidification/stabilization, and dewatering treatability studies on sludge, solids, and semi-solid matrices. These bench scale studies are invaluable to our clients in:

  • Generating Budget Estimates
  • Guiding Project Development
  • Evaluating Treatment Processes
  • Satisfying Agency, Client, and Consultant Concerns

Treatability studies for the chemical fixation of heavy metals are conducted through the use of Sevenson Environmental Services’ patented MAECTITE® chemical treatment process. The process may be used to treat RCRA metal contaminated material, and has been successful in rendering heavy metal contaminated samples non-hazardous by RCRA definition. Dewatering treatability studies employ a wide range of chemical coagulants and flocculants to test for their ability to enhance solid/water separation, and subsequent mechanical dewatering. Waste Stream’s on-site certified analytical laboratory enables all required analyses to be performed in house, keeping treatability costs low and allowing for rapid turn around time on results.


WST Bioblends for use in Bioremediation

Waste Stream Bioblends are comprised of microorganisms, specifically bacteria, that are ubiquitous in nature. They are primary isolates of indigenous soil organisms from sites nation wide. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that WST Bioblends are non-pathogenic to plants, animals, or humans.

WST Bioblends are a bacteria/nutrient mix, and are cultured in a highly refined, nutrient specific media. Each application includes a viable culture of unique contaminant degrading bacteria and essential soil nutrients.

The Research and Development Laboratory at Waste Stream Technology has an inventory of tested microorganisms capable of remediating gasoline, fuel oils, lubricating oils, cutting oils, crude oil, turbine oils, oil tar, PAH compounds, and solvents.


Pricing assumes standard laboratory QA/QC and a standard laboratory report. Sample containers, local delivery and pick up of samples can be arranged at no charge. Standard turnaround analyses will be reported by the close of business, ten business days after sample receipt. Performance experience ranges from Superfund, Military and Army Corps sites, to UST, SPDES and smaller solitary sites. Waste Stream Technology currently holds certification by NELAC through:

·         New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)

·         Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)

·         New Jersey Dept. of Env. Protection (NJDEP)

·         Utah Department of Health (UDOH)

·         Indiana State Department of Health (INDOH)

·         Florida Department of Health (FDOH)

·         Pennsylvania Department of Health (PADOH)

·         Connecticut Department of Health (CDOH).
