In order to conduct safe and efficient flow management of motor or transformer oil, it is necessary to implement specific waste oil analysis and treatment in order to protect the environment and people’s health and safety. The study presents analysis and treatment of waste oil in the electric power distribution companies, showing some data of the MH ''ERS” ZEDP “Elektro-Bijeljina” joint-stock c...

there are enormous quantities of unknown composition of hazardous wastes in tehran without any control, safe disposal and treatment. this study was done to identify hazardous wastes and to control this wastes by establishing a treatment, storage and disposal facility. according to available statistics there are 4461 different industries in tehran, out of which sample were chosen each having ove...

This paper highlights some interesting facts on South African’s waste situation and management strategies, in particular the Integrated Waste Management. South Africa supports a waste hierarchy by promoting cleaner production, waste minimisation, reuse, recycling and waste treatment with disposal and remediation as the last preferred options in waste management. The drivers for waste management...

Waste water treatment is a large, complex and nonlinear system due to being influenced by big speed, pollution as well as the uncertainty related to the composition of the input waste stream. In reality, these systems are always required to operate continuously and stably so that the natural environment is able to absorb the treated waste water safely. Therefore, the size as well as operation q...

The waste-LCA model EASEWASTE quantifies potential environmental effects from biological treatment of organic waste, based on mass and energy flows, emissions to air, water, soil and groundwater as well as effects from upstream and downstream processes. Default technologies for composting, anaerobic digestion and combinations hereof are available in the model, but the user can change all key pa...

The construction and demolition waste (CDW), which is produced by the construction process, presents 33% of the total waste stream in European Union in year 2010 (Eurostat 2010). A construction and demolition waste is generated during whole life cycle of construction design phase, realization phase, occupation phase and demolition phase. On the other hand, the sustainable design of construction...

A pilot-scale study was undertaken to evaluate alternatives to the solid waste management of a Central American municipal market located in Estelí, Nicaragua. The municipal solid waste from the local market is the second largest contributor to the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. Waste from the market without any previous sorting or treatment is open dumped. The options evaluated in this stu...

Of the still unresolved issues regarding medical waste management, one of the most critical is which technologies and controls are most appropriate for treatment. 1 Clearly, the answer depends on the particular circumstances of the medical waste generator and the host community for the treatment facility. Factors such as the nature (quantity and types) of the medical waste, the availability of ...
