Processing Techniques for Solid Wastes Processing techniques are used in solid-waste-management systems to (I) improve the efficiency of the systems, (2) to recover resources (usable materials), and (3) to prepare materials for recoveiy of conversion produc ts and energy. The more important techniques used for processing solid wastes are summarized in Tables 25-61 and 25-62. [Pg.2241]

Disposal The final functional element in the solid waste management system is disposal. Disposal is the ultimate fate of all solid wastes, whether they are wastes collected and transported directly to a landfill site, semisolid wastes (sludge) from industrial treatment plants and air-pollution-control devices, incinerator residue, compost, or other substances from various solid waste processing plants that are of no further use. [Pg.82]

The handling, storage, and processing of solid wastes at the source before they are collected are the second element of the six functional elements in the solid-waste-management system. [Pg.88]

In addition, it has been found that solid waste processes are insensitive to feedback and underestimate time lags between actions and responses. This insensitivity to feedback reflects a failure of the decision-making process to correctly assess the nature and significance of the solid waste management system, particularly the link between the decision and the environment.

The solid waste management system is designed to collect and accumulate spent ion exchange resins and deep bed filtration media, spent filter cartridges, dry active wastes, and mixed wastes generated as a result of normal plant operation, including anticipated operational occurrences. The system is located in the auxiliary and radwaste buildings. [Pg.240]
