ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for safely conveying hazardous solid waste material to a waste processing system; for enhancing its subsequent combustion, in the case of an incinerator; and for reducing the size and duration of a moisture plume created by water vapor in the gases exiting such combustion process. The waste may be inside boxes, bags, or other containers, or may be in loose bulk form. The waste is dropped into a hopper. The hopper lid is of a design to offer safety from personal exposure to the waste and from any size reduction equipment, such as a shredder, and/or conveying machinery that might be at the bottom of the combustion chamber in the case of an incinerator. An air draft is hopper. The waste is allowed to fall onto a conveying mechanism which then delivers the waste for processing, such as to a maintained through the hopper, any size reduction equipment, the conveying machinery, and into a combustion process, if present, which enhances both the safety and operation of the system, and the completeness of combustion of the waste, in the case of an incinerator. The moisture plume resulting from the combustion is shaped and given a spin by a specially shaped exhaust section which allows the water vapor in the plume to disperse, and the plume to disappear more rapidly.
