ABSTRACT:
A waste processing system in which containerized waste is received substantially at ground level and is conveyed to an elevator which carries the containerized waste to an upper level discharger which transports the containerized waste, dumps the containers down a drop chute and returns the empty containers to ground level. The dumped waste is shredded and is either injected into an incinerator or is discharged downwardly. The entire system is enclosed and can be maintained at a negative pressure for receiving radioactive wastes, or at a reduced oxygen environment for receiving flammable hazardous waste. Containerized waste is received through air locks which include vertically sliding doors that are supported entirely about the peripheries when sealed for purposes of explosion resistance. The injector discharge tube includes a slide box in which a pair of conduit segments are mounted and can be positioned such that one or the other of the segments is connected to the output conduit. One segment connects the output conduit to an incinerator and the other segment includes an open bottom so that material may drop vertically into a receptacle.
