ABSTRACT:
A system for the treatment of waste material includes a waste-receiving module for receiving waste material and blending it with glassmaking additives. The waste-receiving module is enclosed within a waste-receiving module container which is capable of being sealed for over the road transport so that the waste-receiving module can be transported safely from one source of waste material to another without complete decontamination. The system also includes a melter module containing a melter for melting together the blended waste material and glassmaking additives to form homogeneous molten glass and thereby stabilize the waste material. The molten glass is discharged to form a vitrified waste material. The melter module is comprised of one or more melter module containers which are capable of being sealed for over the road transport so that the melter module can be transported safely from one source of waste material to another without complete decontamination. Also provided is an emission control module for receiving waste gases from the melter module and for cleaning them for discharge to the atmosphere. The entire waste treatment system can be readily disassembled, transported over the road from one source of waste material to another, and reassembled.
