Batavia, New York-based Eco Waste Solutions (EWS), working with Atlantic Diving Supply Inc. (ADS), will deliver its Expeditionary Solid Waste Disposal System (ESWDS) to the United States Air Force this fall.

EWS says its waste disposal technology will provide the U.S. Air Force with the capability to manage and reduce waste at a remote location in the Hawaii, Guam, Alaska region.

The ESWDS is designed to replace burn pits as a modular military incinerator. It handles solid and semisolid waste with the capacity to process 1,000 pounds of waste per day.

“We’re thrilled to support this milestone deployment of the ESWDS with ADS,” says Dave Waldmann, EWS’ account manager for ADS. “The customer’s needs are demanding—remote locations, high operational tempo and limited infrastructure. Our system will significantly reduce waste buildup and bolster their sustainability efforts.”

According to EWS, ADS brings expertise in rural and remote infrastructure deployment. That, combined with EWS solid waste disposal technology, makes for a strategic alignment of complementary capabilities, the company says.

EWS opened its newly renovated solid waste disposal systems manufacturing facility in Batavia last fall. The company says this facility was designed to mass produce the ESWDS, representing more than a decade of product development.
