Since TEL is very dangeruous suggest you contact Octel for advice. They do take care of TML/TEL units and sludge/mud from these and they can provide you with guidelines when specail attention is needed (and not)

Agree with RogerH its a specialised task , Octel will give advice and assistance, there are a few other commercial folk who specialise in removing it, but its not quick,easy or cheap. I believe there is an API guidline published on the disposal of contaminated tanks and handling residues. .Aybee

In all seriousness, talk to them. Maybe they have some businesses down there they are associated with and would give you some leads.

Do they have a web page?
