Saline impaired water is a ubiquitous feature of the Australian landscape and the need for innovative technologies to deal with this issue is now a priority. The ‘waste disposal’ paradigm needs to change to ‘resource recovery’ especially with environmental and legislative requirements which limit the scope, cost efficiency and sustainability of conventional saline water management practices. This paper provides an overview of the challenges and the opportunities for sustainable management of large volumes of saline impaired waters. Selected case studies and the outcomes of recent trials of innovative zero discharge processes on various saline streams are provided to illustrate the advantages of technology based solutions over conventional practices. The key advantage is the productive use of saline water as a resource, while achieving zero discharge outcomes. Associated benefits include smaller environmental footprint, increased water recovery and the opportunity to sell valuable by-products to offset the operation costs.
At present,hazardous waste is a facing an increasingly serious environmental problem .so the mainstream of industrial waste disposal methods: curing landfill, biochemical method, incineration disposal method. Other hazardous waste disposal methods include high temperature steam sterilization, microwave, plasma incineration, pyrolysis incineration, wet air oxidation, advanced biology, alkali metal dechlorination, cement kiln incineration, melt incineration, centrifugal separation and electrolytic oxidation.
TodaySure™ was selected to supply two containerised incinerators for the South Pole, which is the most pristine wilderness on Earth. Working in extreme temperatures and climate conditions, the units are designed to dispose of food scraps and sludge from the biological treatment plant.
Incineration waste to energy means you can get FREE HEAT!
It’s true to say that the first priority of any of the industrial waste incinerators we design and manufacture is to provide an efficient, cost-effective, environmentally responsible and legally compliant waste disposal system. But, and it is a big but, our experience and technical expertise means that were appropriate and when required we can also incorporate an efficient energy recovery system into the plant. This incineration waste to energy...
Under European Commission (EC) funding, the European Committee for Standardization Technical Committee (CEN/TC) 352 — Nanotechnologies is developing guidelines relating to the safe waste management and disposal of deliberately manufactured nano-objects. The TC seeks responses from companies manufacturing or processing manufactured nano-objects by September 5, 2016, to an online questionnaire relating to current disposal practices for manufactured nano-objects in waste. The guidelines are intended to provide...
You bet there is! Ergonomics is all around us, from keyboards that protect our wrists repetitive task injury, to workplace trainers showing staff how to lift heavy items with proper technique. Ergonomics in the workplace is especially important because workers tend to repeat the same actions countless times, day after day.
Waste disposal ergonomics can be tricky, and we’re not talking about throwing crumpled paper like a basketball. Workers who handle heavy dumpsters face injury risks from lifting and...
