This combustion-based system is highly efficient and produces virtually no atmospheric emi ssions, meeting all international environmental air standards. The major advantages to the system are that it is relatively small, meets specific capacity demands, and can operate at the user's site. Recycling of metals and glass can be completed after the Oxidation cycle. As a consequence, it results in lower waste-disposal costs. The Waste Oxidizer System has low cap ital and operating costs as well as low labour requirements.
Maintenance costs are low due to the small number of moving parts in the system.
In addition, the waste heat generated by the oxidation process can be recovered for hot water or steam usage. Treatable waste includes industrial or residential solid waste, medical waste, industrial liquid waste, agricultural waste, pharmaceutical waste and off-spec food waste. For medical waste, the combustion temperatures reached are sufficient to ensure complete virus and pathogen kill, eliminating the need for costly off-site disposal. The Waste Oxidation process converts solid waste into an inert, non-toxic ash , resulting in a volume reduction of over 90 percent. Metals and glass are left intact and can be sorted for recycling following the oxidation process.
