On Solid Ground: Screener Crusher Transforms Non-Hazardous Contaminated Solids into Beneficial Reuse Material for Cavern Stabilization

摘要

Near Hutchinson, Kansas, about 500 to 750 feet below the earth's surface, there lie a number of abandoned underground salt caverns, filled with brine water and capped with concrete. The caverns, initially created in the early to mid-1970s using the solution-mining process, were used to store liquid propane gas (LPG), which was then extracted for consumption. The cavern wells were used in this capacity until the early 1990s.
