Municipal Solid Waste                                                    Medical Waste      

The most "difficult wastes" - Municipal Solid Waste and Medical Waste (multicomponent mixtures with variable composition) - were chosen to demonstrate the pyrolysis units in operation.

Medical waste pyrolysis:

You will be watching batch medical waste processing facility employing scheme with one pyrolyser and two internal baskets: Prior to pyrolysis the waste is uniformly shredded and then compacted; for this purpose initial dangerous medical waste is initially sterilized:

• Sterilization section of the facility
• Preparation of the sterilized waste; general view of the pyrolysis installation
• Unload and cleaning of the pyrolyser basket 1
• Transfer of basket 1 to load spot
• Pyrolyser basket 2 was loaded and "sits" in the pyrolyser; start-up: burner, control panel
• Process finished: oil is transferred from the pyrolyser to temporary tank before filtration
• Oil sampling: ph=7 (neutral)
• Unit' s filter
• Demonstration of filtration of the recovered oil: transparent liquid (example with simple coffee filter)
• Oil burning test
• Final products: carbon black and oil to customers (outdoor pump to load truck)

The honey-coloured oil was directly recovered from the process and not after a special post-treatment. Simple filtration just removes carbon particles producing transparent light-yellow fuel oil.
