How can we turn hazardous waste into energy?

hazardous waste disposal With Burn For Energy Recovery method with removal code 043 in response to the Zero Landfill policy of the current factory operators It uses the combustion principle. To destroy or turn solid waste into gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and finally the heat generated by burning waste. In addition to disposing of garbage Incineration in a kiln can also bring back heat energy for utilization, such as producing hot water, steam, or even electrical energy.

Hazardous waste or non-hazardous waste Based on what is legal?

Defined by “Roster and production process”

Qualifications fall into the category of “Hazardous Waste” according to the law.

·         flammable

·         corrosive

·         Reaction

·         poison

·         analysis results

** pH can indicate the nature and properties of sewage or unused materials as well **

Types of waste that can be burned for energy (043)

–         Contaminated materials (rags, gloves contaminated with oil)

–         paint residue

–         oil sludge

–         Contaminated plastic packaging

Elimination code 043 is burning for energy such as deteriorated products, plastic scraps, rubber scraps, etc.

Benefits of method 043 removal

–         Responding to the Zero Landfill policy of factory operators

–         get electrical energy from burning

–         Help reduce global warming because it is a complete waste management.

–         There is no problem of contamination of waste in the soil and water sources.

–         Reduces disposal costs

What are the top 10 hazardous wastes that have been disposed of the most?

1.       Contaminated packaging >160,000 tons

2.       Contaminated material Contaminated rag >150,000 tons

3.       Waste water containing hazardous substances >130,000 tons

4.       Sludge from the treatment system >100,000 tons

5.       Dust from air treatment system >90,000 tons

6.       Aluminum slag >75,000 tons

7.       Used lubricant >70,000 tons

8.       Deteriorated acid used in pretreatment >65,000 tons

9.       COOLANT >60,000 tons

10.   Deteriorated acid used to remove stains > 55,000 tons

Due to the present amount of waste from industrial factories. Most of the disposal methods in Thailand will choose the landfill method.

Because it’s easy to manage. But wouldn’t it be better if we could turn hazardous waste into useful energy by using the 043 method as presented in the information above?
