Gestión de desechos tóxicos y peligrosos con materiales impregnados con hidrocarburos, fármacos, biopeligrosos y resinas de la empresa HAZWAT mediante la incineración.

Abstract

The main objective of this research project is to develop a loading menu for the treatment of hazardous waste by thermal incineration in the HAZWAT company. The availability lists of existing hazardous waste in the plant are considered in terms of useful life and availability.

The starting point for determining the load menu is to select the waste to be processed. Consider its chemical, physical and biological properties, as well as the amount of waste input and its residence time in the facility. A representative sample of approximately 5 to 7 kg was obtained for each residue by random sampling.

The optimal feeding menu for the incineration of hazardous waste was identified, including: EPP contaminated with hydrocarbons 0,7 to 0.8 %, plastic containers 2,0 to 2,5 %, sawdust 8,5 to9,0 %, contaminated oil 69,0 to 71,0 %, rubble 5,2 to 5,5 %, biohazard 5,0 to 8,0 %, epoxy 4,0 to 5,0%, garment 1,5 to 2,0 %, its calorific value is about 8 611,33 (kcal/kg).

Finally, the ash generation efficiency of the incinerator was determined using the suggested load menu, reaching 95 %, which indicates that it is optimal and economically feasible by reducing the consumption of auxiliary fuel and the production of pollutants to the environment.
