Solution for Hazardous Wastes

CARBONATOR®

Industrial Scheduled WastesIndustrial Schedules wastes are defined as materials or articles containing chemicals exceeding threshold concentration and threshold quantities, which are organic in nature, resistant to degradation and bio-accumulative.

The Typical Parameters for Hazardous wastes are:

• Heavy Metals such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, mercury, zinc etc.

• Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP)• Oil & Grease (O&G)• Total Organic Carbon (TOC)• pH Value• Total Solids• Total Chlorine• Calorific Value• Flash Point• Viscosity• Polymerization Reaction

Carbonator Advantages• Low CAPEX & OPEX• Low Maintenance and Low Spare Parts Cost• System Safety Guaranteed• Simple Operation and Easy Management, requires minimal personnel.• Applicable to wide range and all types of mixed organic biodegradable and non-

biodegradable materials• No requirement of sorting or separation• Reduce moisture content down to <0.5%• Organic converts to become residues of high quality ‘Carbon/Char’ which is stable,

safe, odorless and free from Chlorine and Sulphur contents• High quality ‘Carbon/Char’ can be used as Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) for reheating

the system• High Quality ‘Carbon/Char’ can be gasified (clean technology) to become bottom ash• Any inorganic remains unchanged. Separation or sorting activities can take place

after complete process treatment.• No emission of pollutant gases like Dioxins & Furans, SO2, NOx and CO (note: only

trace amounts)• Emission fully complaint with Clean Air Standards

Technology Concept

Technology Oveview

Carbonator and Incineration - Comparison• 1. Carbonator process treatment is by

in-direct thermal heating, whereas incinerator is direct heating/combustion.

• 2. Carbonator process treatment always in oxygen less condition (O2 < 5%), whereas incinerator is combustion process with oxygen presence. 

• 3. Carbonator process treatment required medium temperature from 450 C - 550 C, whereas incinerator combustion process from 800 C - 1,100 C. 

• 4. Carbonator converts mixed organics to carbon, in-organic remain unchanged. The residual materials from Carbonator is carbon + inert. As for incinerator, it combust all mixed organic and in-organic to ashes. However, track records show that incinerator is hardly successful in most combustion processes due to high moisture content, fuel limitation, waste compositions, control and management of the technology by skilful operators. 

• 5.  Carbonator process treatment emits non-toxic gases like smokes (organic/volatile gases) that easily combustible in Deodorizer system, easily convert to H2 and CO2, and final polishing in the wet scrubber system before discharge to the atmosphere. Incinerator process treatment emits toxic & stubborn gases like NOx, SOx, CO, Dioxins & Furans , Smokes, Smells which required high temperature combustion and complex dry & wet scrubbers for achieving the discharge standards. 

• 6. The operation cost for Carbonator is 1/2 of incinerator. The footprint size is 1/2 of incinerator and the operation and management is easy and simple compared with incinerator. 

• 7. Generally the CAPEX for Carbonator is lower that Incinerator (with full range of Air Pollution Control System).
