Hazardous Waste Unit

Having built several hazardous waste treatment and recovery waste installations, including one of Europe’s largest, the SEDIBEX plant at Sandouville (near Paris), VINCI Environnement has developed a body of expertise in this area, with the necessary competencies to guarantee elimination in compliance with very high safety standards.

Hazardous waste

Hazardous waste is a matter of concern to the environment and to society at large, and treating it appropriately is VINCI Environnement’s business.

Hazardous waste comes from a wide variety of sources, including industrial production, oil residue, polluted ground, or, by extension, infectious medical waste. It comes in many forms: solid, semi-liquid or liquid. What they have in common is a high density of pollutants demanding special treatment processes unavailable in units designed to produce energy from municipal waste.

Purpose-designed technologies adapted to the demands of hazardous waste

VINCI Environnement hazardous waste treatment solutions offer an array of highly effective tools in terms of quality, safety, operations, technical specifications and regulatory compliance. All these solutions embody purpose-designed processes and technologies adapted to local conditions, and to the varied nature of waste sources. The high-temperature energy-from-waste incineration stream provided by VINCI Environnement includes the following :

• a rotary furnace capable of simultaneously handling all types of solid, liquid or semi-liquid waste, separately or in a mixture, with a net calorific power of the mixture ranging 4 ,000 to 25 000 kJ/kg
• a post-combustion chamber for optimum combustion of both solid and gas elements
• a heat recovery boiler for steam production
• an energy-from-waste unit (delivering steam or generating electricity)
• a flue gas treatment

The rotary furnace technology is particularly suited to the harsh conditions surrounding the treatment of hazardous waste. With its reputation for robustness and reliability, it treats hazardous waste efficiently, with low maintenance costs.
