Methods and Techniques of Hazardous Waste Disposal

The proper methods and techniques to hazardous waste disposal is essential for citizens and business owners alike. Hazardous waste is defined by waste that poses significant or potential threats to the public, health, or environment.

Historically, hazardous wastes were regularly dumped into landfills. This unfavorable action caused the chemicals to seep into the ground and eventually enter our natural water systems. From there, our wild and marine life mammals became exposed to all sorts of chemicals which can in return cause issues for us.

The following are some Methods and Techniques of hazardous waste disposal:

1.The use of Incineration by burning the material in high temperatures is a great way to destroy toxic waste. Incineration actually destroys and terminates most HHW. A benefit of society using this method is the fact that the flammable wastes can also be burned and used as energy sources. The method of Incineration releases toxic gases which can affect the environment, but current technology has developed more effective incinerator units that limit the amount of emissions released in the sky.

2.Find out what hazardous waste collection facilities are in your area! Many times, communities will designate special days for collection. If you are in immediate need of proper hazardous waste disposal, you can contact your local government or head over to your local municipal building where they should be able to help you.

3.If you have diabetic syringes or prescription drugs, you should be very careful about how you dispose of them! Most pharmacies carry a mini disposal box where you can throw away used syringes. Prescription drugs should always be handed off to a drop-off location! They should never be thrown in the trash or flushed down the toilet or sink!

4.To share it! For instance, if you have extra oil or fertilizer lying around you can share it with a person who is need!

5.A smart method of hazardous waste disposal is to recycle. KOSUN designed and manufactured vertical centrifuge for the Hazardous waste disposal could disposal 60 tons of Hazardous Waste per hour, the disposaled waste oil content can effectively controlled within 5%,it can effectively help the owners to reduce operating costs and electricity.what’s more,some of the disposaled hazardous waste can even be reclaimed or recycled.Recycling is the best method for the environment and is really a “no-brainer”!

By using these methods to dispose of hazardous waste, we can all enjoy a safer environment. Need more information about KOSUN hazardous waste disposal equipment- vertical centrifuge,please email us!

Xinjiang Karamay Chemical Industry Park hazardous waste disposal center is a unified storage, centralized disposal of hazardous waste terminal processing station.Recently, KOSUN designed and manufactured special equipment-vertical centrifuge for the Hazardous waste disposal was put into use In this station before the China National Day. The Hazardous waste disposal equipment could handle 60 tons of oil sludge per hour, 8 hours a day for sustainable operation. Xinjiang Karamay Industrial Park, sludge reduction treatment center is the first time to use KOSUN hazardous waste disposal equipment and this equipment have been awarded the 2016 “Shaanxi Province, the first set of industrial products” award.

KOSUN vertical centrifuge is not only suitable for drilling oil-based mud waste treatment, but can be used for land-based and offshore drilling in the use of oil-based cuttings, while vertical centrifuge can also be used in hazardous waste disposal as a pretreatment equipment.

KOSUN vertical centrifuge can separate solid-liquid efficiently from the source to reduce the amount of solid waste emissions, the treated solid-phase oil content effectively controlled within 5%,and can effectively help the owners to reduce operating costs, reduce electricity.what’s more,  some of the treated hazardous wastes can even be reclaimed or recycled.

Hazardous waste management methods

Hazardous Wastes Management:Hazardous wastes that need management or disposal may be freshly generated from an industrial operation, they may be old stored chemicals, or they may have been sitting in a dumpsite for many years. At a dumpsite, component chemicals difficult to identify, they are likely to have reacted with one another, and they may have already affected the surrounding soil and water. Land disposal and incineration are two main dumpsite remediation methods. Types of waste treatment include physical, biological, and chemical neutralization or stabilization.

Industries in the United States dispose of about 60% of their hazardous waste using a land disposal method called deep well injection. Liquid wastes are injected into wells located in impervious rock formations that supposedly keep the waste isolated from groundwater and surface water. Unfortunately, hydrogeologists now predict that groundwater flow actually does occur in most previously-designated impervious rock formations, and injected waste often migrates into groundwater reservoirs called aquifers. Other underground burial locations for hazardous wastes include deep mines, natural caverns, and man-made deep pits.

Landfilling is the other primary land disposal method for Hazardous Wastes Management in the United States. Hazardous waste landfills are similar to regular solid waste landfills, but they must meet much higher standards for safety and environmental protection. The EPA requires that most hazardous wastes be treated before being discarded in properly-designed, approved landfills and burial sites.

Incineration, or burning, is a controversial, but still common, method of Hazardous Wastes Management. The EPA estimates that five million tons of hazardous wastes are burned each year in the United States. Various incineration technologies exist for a variety of types of waste. For example, volatile chemicals like paint thinners, oils, and solvents are destroyed by combustion at cement plants whose furnaces, called kilns, reach temperatures of 2,700°F (1,500°C). Needless to say, residents living near cement plants and other hazardous waste incinerators often have concerns about air pollution. In 1993, the EPA tightened its regulations on emissions from most hazardous waste incinerators, including cement kilns, after discovering that the emissions contained like dioxins, furans and other substances that cause cancer and other health problems in humans. Another recent EPA study noted that medical waste incinerators that many hospitals use to burn hazardous wastes also emit dioxins.
