Although, it's not without critics:

What the hell does this have to do with the TCP process?
This link focuses on incineration, not TCP.

That link was embedded on the other link's page. On further reading, the
TCP process looks interesting and promising, but it is difficult to find
information on it that doesn't have a promotional bent.
Conceptually, I can understand the process, but I am curious as to how the
contaminants
are removed.

According to CWT's site:

Hazardous Waste-
"These are the deadliest of waste streams on our planet. In the United
States alone, over 26,000 hazardous waste sites are buried underground. TCP
is a safer and less costly way to address this waste stream, rather than the
current method of disposal, which is incineration. PCB's, dioxins, heavy
metals, pathogens, and other contaminants are destroyed in the TCP."

"TCP reforms even heavy metals into oxides that are safe and non-leachable
and pass TCLP (leaching) standards."
