The Hg Containment System is a containment unit and removal service for management of mercury and amalgam in dental wastewater. This system includes a gravity unit with patented, filterless technology that is designed to be plumbed into any wet or dry vacuum system. As opposed to amalgam separators which use filtration, the Hg Containment System is reportedly the only system on the market providing 100% containment of mercury and amalgam. This dual-tank system consists of an upper pressure tank and a lower holding tank. The system is plumbed into the vacuum line between the pump and the main suction line from the operatories and collects the solid waste before reaching the vacuum unit and trap. Visual inspection of the site tube on the lower tank should be performed weekly. Every 60 days, the system is emptied by Anterior Quest, and the waste is taken to a licensed disposal facility for safe recycling. The tank can be emptied directly, or an output line can be plumbed to the outside of the building for service without disturbing those in the office. The Hg Containment System is fabricated from 12-gauge stainless steel and is available in four standard sizes (30, 60, 90 and 120 gallon capacities), depending on the office’s needs. The manufacturer also designs custom-made units when necessary due to size or space requirements. The manufacturer claims guaranteed compliance with government standards requiring installation of an amalgam separator with 95% or greater efficiency. The Hg Containment Series comes with a two-year limited warranty. Hg Containment System was evaluated by 20 consultants over a six-month period. This system earned a 99% clinical rating.
