Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a system for thermal disposal of waste, particularly waste that is regarded as special or dangerous, with no distinction based on waste type.
  • Incineration plants for disposal of waste regarded as special or dangerous have been known and operated for a long time.
  • each of these prior art plants is designed and constructed for disposal of a restricted and special class of waste, i.e. each plant is designed and constructed with particular technical features, for incinerating particular types of waste but not others.
  • a waste disposal plant is typically composed of a series of waste treatment sections, namely a section for amassing and possibly preparing waste to obtain sizes compatible with the plant features, a section for burning waste that comes from the waste amassing and preparing section, a section for collecting the fumes generated by waste burning, possibly a section for recovering thermal energy from combustion, a section for treating and filtering combustion fumes before final reintroduction thereof into the outside environment.
  • an after-burning apparatus is also provided for combustion fumes to comply with the standards in force.
  • Waste may be generally divided into two main types, i.e. organic waste and inorganic waste.
  • Organic waste includes all waste that is composed of materials that can be molecularly or bacteriologically transformed either spontaneously or chemically, whereas inorganic waste includes all waste that are not exposed to spontaneous molecular and bacteriological changes.
  • leachate from industrial waste, and/or waste water containing toxic components which is used in industrial waste processing steps, is treated in a closed system by pooling, in an equalizing tank, one or more of the treated leachates with an apparatus for removing toxic components, which prevents discharge of heavy metals contained and their ashes.
  • a solid waste disposal system is known from US 4,308,809.
  • the system includes a building enclosure having an interior storage area for accumulating combustible refuse, and an incinerator for thermally oxidizing the refuse.
  • the incinerator includes a combustion chamber which is maintained at a reduced pressure level relative to the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere This sub-atmospheric pressure state produces a positive flow of air into the chamber as it is loaded during combustion virtually without risk of injury to personnel or damage to surrounding combustible material
  • a further waste reducing and recycling plant is known from DE 4,407,600.
  • the plant has one or more working modules for separately processing collected waste fractions and at least one cooling unit for cooling selected waste fractions.
  • the working modules have arrangements for crushing and/or reducing the volume of individual waste fractions.
  • a first drawback is that storage of perishable waste, typically organic waste causes generation of foul smells with time, which smells spread to the surrounding environment through air streams and wind, and may reach long distances from the storage area, thereby creating discomfort in the people who live in the areas affected by these smells.
  • Another drawback is that prior art disposal plants, as mentioned above, are designed and constructed for disposal of particular waste, and an adequate number of plants have to be built for disposal of every type of waste, i.e. one for each waste class.
  • One object of the invention is to improve the state of the art. Another object of the invention is to provide a system for thermal disposal of waste that eliminates any occurrence of foul smell deriving from storage of waste awaiting disposal.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a system for thermal disposal of waste that alone is capable of incinerating waste of any type, while requiring simple and limited adjustments of burning members to be adapted to each waste mixture to be incinerated.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to set up a method for disposal of waste that allows disposal of any type of waste, and prevents the creation of miasmas that pollute the surrounding environment to large distances.
  • the invention relates to a method for thermal disposal of waste as defined in claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a system for thermal disposal of waste as defined in claim 4.
  • the invention affords disposal of any kind of waste in a single disposal system, while preventing the creation of undesired miasmas and having a fully automatic disposal cycle.
  • FIG. 1 is a general schematic view of a system for thermal disposal of waste of the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic enlarged view of a magazine for low- temperature storage of perishable organic waste
  • FIG. 3 is a broken schematic enlarged view of one end of a waste burning kiln, having multiple waste receiving inlets, each inlet being designed for one particular waste type;
  • FIG. 4 is a very schematic front view of a loading end of a waste burning kiln as is used in the thermal disposal system of Fig. 1.

  • a weighing apparatus 17 is provided at one inlet 10A of the warehousing 10 to weigh the container carts 13 before access thereof to the warehousing 10.

  • the secondary combustion chamber 22B is equipped with an emergency chimney 39 for quick ejection of the smokes created during combustion, and is connected by a pipe section 40 with a steam generator 41 , which is part of the heat energy recovery section 5.
  • This steam generator 41 has at least one outlet pipe 42 for conveying steam to a known apparatus used for generating energy for industrial use or else, and is connected with a downstream economizer 43 that pre-heats the water that flows into the boiler, thereby producing steam by heat exchange with the smokes.
