Medical waste is typically about 25 percent plastic and that the subsequent burning of syngas releases dioxins, mercury, lead, and nitric oxides — the same pollutants released from burning waste at traditional incinerators. I think this needs to be evaluated. This would include air smell pollution.
Carbon dioxide emission - is it projected to be 20 tons or along the lines of two automobiles.
In MedRecycler-RI’s application for bonding to the RIIFC, Campanella said no discharge will be sent to the sewer system. But another MedRecycler-RI form before the RIIFC said it expects to release 2,000 gallons daily into the system. A question about whether the facility will emit air pollution is blank.
The medical waste wouldn’t be opened or inspected before processing, so there are worries that harmful waste could have dangerous consequences. Other pyrolysis systems process a single type of waste, such as sludge, but medical waste has a mix of plastics, metals, liquids, and bacterium.
Temperature to convert the material into synthesis gas (syngas) and a tar that is used as heating fuel for the system. He said the ash byproduct can be landfilled or can be used as an additive for making concrete and asphalt. A concern was voiced in the hearing that getting this product into asphalt etc could be negative to the water well etc.
These are just a few of the snippets I have read from articles, applications etc. Anyone know if these issues have been addressed and resolved. I don’t think there is anything that can’t be overcome but I also believe the review will want some of these items further evaluated.
Thoughts?
My opinions.
