HAZARDOUS & INDUSTRIAL SOLID & LIQUIDS WASTE OXIDIZER TREATMENT SYSTEM
Client: Syntex Pharmaceuticals International Ltd.
Location: Freeport, Grand Bahamas Island, Bahamas
Background: Syntex Pharmaceuticals is a major manufacturer of pharmaceutical and chemical products.
Problem: As a result of the chemical production processes, a significant amount of hazardous and non-hazardous solid and liquid wastes are generated daily. Off-site disposal was not a cost–effective option.
Waste Description: Wastes include wastewater treatment sludge, industrial solid wastes, solvent-saturated carbon and carbon filters, and a variety of organic, aqueous, and chlorinated solvents.
Solution: Air Clear engineers designed, fabricated, and installed a complete waste treatment system.
Process Equipment: This pollution control system for waste processing is a direct-fired rotary kiln incinerator with a wet air pollution control and continuous emissions monitoring system. The Waste Oxidizer was designed to simultaneously process both solid and liquid wastes 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The highly corrosive nature of the waste required special refractory materials to provide maximum resistance to chemical attack and erosion.
A custom tank farm and specialized solvent metering and injection system provides for optimum storage, mixing and injection of various waste solvents.
The kiln and scrubber system for waste treatment was remotely operated via a state-of-the-art distributive control system (DCS).
