Hello,

I'm trying to investigate the use of container/mobile industrial incinerators to reduce waste disposal costs at an isolated industrial site.

I work in re-purposing industrial sites and commonly come against large volumes of Bunker C, Bunker C sludge, waste oils, and chemicals of all types.

Does anyone have an idea how to go about this with out being at the mercy of a salesman?

Thanks,

Andrew

I agree that fumes are bad for the down wind neighbours. I work in site predominantly in rural rural canada. The reason I'm looking for incinerators is because there is no surrounding civilization.

This is what drives up the waste disposal costs.

Bunker C is a highviscosity residual oil. It burns at approx. 110 degree C. Its whats left after sweet crude is extracted and is used as fuel for bitumen power plants and in some paper mill boiler and re-boiler processes. Im sure it has more functions beyond that.

Etc. could be waste hydraulic oils, lubricating oils, black liquor (Lignin by product of paper paking - tree fibre glue)
Also process chemicals like biocides, and polymers. Acids and bases I can usually neutralize to discharge.
