Container-based waste incinerator systems

A waste incinerator system built into a standard 20-foot container (NS-ISO 668).
CSI’s waste incinerator concept consists of a standard 20-foot container with inbuilt personnel door, CO2 fire extinguisher, GS 500 C incinerator, which can burn solid or liquid waste, in addition to diesel tank, sludge tank (for waste oil) and top-mounted ventilation fan with 3-metre exhaust stack with cap. All pipe-laying, electrical work and exhaust stack and sludge tank insulation are included.

The unit is delivered fully tested and approved in accordance with DNV regulations. All connections are run to one end of the container. The unit connects to electrical power at a single point. Power consumption: 23–27 kW.

The compressed air required for incineration (at 7 bars) is supplied by an inbuilt Atlas Copco compressor. There are coupling flanges for feeding in diesel oil and sludge (waste oil).

The incinerator has a capacity of 135 kg/hour for solid waste defined as “type 2 waste” by IMO.  This means that the dimensioning (choice of model) will be the same whether the unit is intended to incinerate the waste from 300 people or 1,200 people. The number of hours of operation will of course vary. If we assume that each person generates 2 kg/day in the form of solid waste, then the operating time for 300 people will be: ½ hour for heat-up, 4½ hours for incineration = 5 hours/day total. For 1,200 people: ½ hour for heat-up, 18 hours for incineration = 18½ hours/day total. Incineration results in a 97% reduction in volume.

The ash is sterile and can be removed manually each morning before the unit is started up. Please refer to the DNV report for details regarding atmospheric emissions. The report will enable you to compare the applicable IMO emission requirements with the actual results (the results are significantly better than the current IMO requirements).

The incinerator can handle all types of waste, except glass. Even tins can be put into the incinerator.

The set-up time is approx. 6 hours for 2 people.
