Comparison of phosphorus recovery from incineration and gasification sewage sludge ash
Incineration of sewage sludge is a common practice in many western countries. Gasification is an attractive option because of its high energy efficiency and flexibility in the usage of the produced gas. However, they both unavoidably produce sewage sludge ashes, a material that is rich in phosphorus, but which is commonly landfilled or used in construction materials. With current uncertainty ...

Supercritical water oxidation presented as alternative to incineration – An update
Environmentally benign waste disposal is becoming a more and more acute problem. A process now being commercialised, supercritical water oxidation is demonstrating extremely efficient organic waste destruction (99.99%) plus excellent environmental characteristics (none of the emissions associated with incineration). The process is especially suitable for the treatment of wastewater and sludges ...

Small Pyrolysis Machine 101: Understanding How It Operates
A small pyrolysis machine is the best way to process scrap and also other materials that might otherwise be discarded. This particular machine may also be used as an option to burning the garbage, which pollutes the atmosphere with harmful chemicals and releases smoke in the atmosphere. If you are looking at investing in a small pyrolysis machine for the business or home, then read on. Exactly ...

How Tyre Pyrolysis Plants Are Useful
A tyre pyrolysis plant uses an industrial procedure that converts used tyres into liquid fuel, such as oils and gases. The two main varieties of processes utilized: direct and indirect. In a direct process, the rubber is heated in a oxygen-free environment at 300 to 600 °C for a lot of hours, inducing the hydrocarbon chains inside the tyre to get rid of down into smaller pieces. A byproduct ...

What are the types of incinerators available?
Incineration is a viable alternative to Landfill. An incinerator can destroy and remove at least 99.99 percent of each harmful chemical in the waste it processes. When some extremely harmful chemicals are present, EPA requires that an incinerator show it can destroy and remove at least 99.9999 percent of contaminants in the waste. Ash remaining at the bottom of the combustion chambers likely ...

Incineration of hazardous wastes from the petroleum industry in Nigeria
Persistent hazardous wastes are produced in the recovery, processing and upgrading of crude petroleum in Nigeria. However, recent developments in environmental pollution control are drawing increasing attention to the problems of hazardous wastes. The ever-increasing need to control these wastes from the petroleum industry often compels the chemical engineer to specify methods of treatment and ...

Island Waste - A necklace of incineration
Will plastic waste become the fossils of our generation? With our production of plastic waste still growing, there is no chance the volumes will reduce anytime soon; Therefore alternative options such as incineration are required. With lifespans well in excess of our own, most of our food packaging and other plastic waste will be here long after we have left and will ultimately become the ...

Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) - A novel approach to waste elimination aboard ships
The Plasma Arc Waste Destruction System (PAWDS) uses plasma energy, with temperatures over 5,000 oC, to rapidly and efficiently destroy combustible waste aboard ships. PAWDS has proven itself to be a viable alternative to traditional incinerators. In September 2003, Carnival Cruise Lines were the first to install a PAWDS aboard their 2,056 passenger (plus 1,000 crew members) capacity, M/S ...

Trailer Mounted Incinerators – What are my options?
Unlike large containerised and on-skid alternatives, trailer mounted incinerators are packaged as a more compact incineration option but don’t compromise on power or effectiveness. Just like other mobile burners, trailer mounted incinerators conduct a second burn of waste, drawing extra air into their main chamber to guarantee efficient disposal of products being destroyed. Some of the ...

Measuring Gases Produced by Waste Gasification to Improve Control and Efficiency
Waste gasification is a type of waste to energy process where waste material is used as a fuel to create heat, electricity or other chemical products. Specifically, in waste gasification, the waste material is decomposed in such a way to produce gaseous products, often known as syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.1 Conventional incineration uses heat and ...
