The approach to effluent at CAMR

Maximum surface area for heat transfer into the effluent, eliminating the need for mechanical stirrers, despite significant solids content in the effluent. 

In the event of heat exchanger rupture (most likely in the region exposed to the highest temperature), leaks of toxic material take place into steam at 130°C, providing adequate containment. 

The resolution of this conundrum was in fact to provide the filter housing with separate sterilisation facilities and to design and orientate the aerosol 

When the treatment cycle is completed, the effluent is allowed to cool naturally to below 100°C. At this point, the drain is opened and ballast pressure (0.3 bar g) is used to discharge the effluent via a throttling valve. This allows the rate of discharge to be set to suit the ability of the site drains to cool the outflowing effluent to near-ambient temperature within a short distance of the release point.
