THE TREATMENT OF
HAZARDOUS WASTE
WITHOUT HARM TO
THE ENVIRONMENT

Rotary Kiln
Treatment of hazardous domestic waste (HDW)
Treatment of hazardous industrial waste (HIW)
Treatment of clinical waste (CW)

A TESTED AND SECURE SOLUTION FOR THE

TREATMENT OF HAZARDOUS SOLID, LIQUID OR
PASTE-LIKE WASTE
Capacity range of 1 to 8 tph per stream line
Thermal recovery from the waste with
calorific value in a range of 4,000 to 25,000
kJ per kg

The technology
A very different design from traditional incineration systems, the hazardous and the
clinical waste treatment plants are consisting of a rotary tubular adiabatic kiln, a postcombustion chamber, a boiler for the energy recovery (when required or the flue gas
cooling otherwise) and a specific flue gas treatment.
The general principal consists of the combustion of waste at high temperatures,
between 900 and 1,200C in the rotary furnace and of a post-combustion chamber for
complete combustion of the flue gas. Waste are fed into the kiln a different way
according to the type of waste: the solid waste are fed with an hydraulic feeder and
moved through the tubular body by the rotating movement of the furnace; the liquid
and gaseous waste can be fed either into the tubular body of the kiln or directly into the
post-combustion chamber by means of the burners or the special injection spray
systems. This tested process is guarantying the complete suppression of all type of
hazardous waste thereby protecting the environment.

Main advantages
Technology capable to treat simultaneously a wide range of solid, liquid or past-like
hazardous waste
Complete suppression of hazardous waste by a thermal treatment at a high
temperature
Operation with flexibility comparable to the household solid waste thermal
treatment
Reliability and life duration of the facilities (over 20 years)
Option for heat and/or electrical production to be used at industrial plants.
