Process:	Waste treatment by shredding, homogenisation and pumping
Source:	Hazardous wastes from various origins with caloric value Hydrocarbon and solvent based sludge, in drums or containers Industrial packing waste and textiles, contaminated Catalyst and activated carbon, polluted Filters from vehicles or chemical processing
Input material:	Liquids and sludge of all viscosities Non-reusable or packed hazardous waste

Key facts

Homogenisation system:	Continuous and batch-wise working, single shaft mixers
Peripheral equipment:	Container/drum handling, storage tanks, explosion protection, control cabinets
Technical availability:	In excess of 7.500 hours/year
Input requirements:	Shreddable waste, oversized parts rejected by discharge system
Output consistency:	Waste shredded and homogenised, pumpable by piston pump
Optional extensions:	Mechanical dewatering or drying of incoming sludge
Throughput capacity design:	0.5 ? 10 t/h; depending on incinerator and shredder design
Homogenised waste buffer:	up to 2 hours inside the mixer unit; no sedimentation
Design options:	For new incinerators as well as re-fit of existing facilities

Greatest benefits of the AVA Shredding-Mixing-Pumping technology

Higher incineration efficiency due to continuous feeding with constant caloric value
Mechanical impact of falling drums and containers to the furnace lining inside kiln is excluded
Constant feeding means explosion inside the kiln is prevented, with less wear to furnace lining
Less exhaust air emissions and less operational demands to exhaust air treatment
Smallest feeding flanges inside front wall of rotary kiln (e.g. DN200); smaller kiln diameter possible
Optional design with various shredder systems, e.g. 2-shaft rotary shear, 3-shaft shredders, etc
Turn-key stand alone units possible, e.g. for upgrading existing kilns, only piping connection needed
