Reactive waste deactivation facility and method

摘要

A reactive waste deactivation facility capable of continuously processing a wide spectrum of hazardous waste includes a building having an outer perimeter defined by a plurality of deactivation bays each including means for deactivating hazardous wastes. One or more expansion chambers are surrounded by the plurality of bays and are commonly connected to an air pollution control system. The deactivation bays are connected with the expansion chamber by means of plurality of expansion ducts each having closable exhaust ports therein such that each inactive deactivation bay may be isolated from the expansion chamber when one active bay is in operation. A computer control system provides for sequencing of operation of said deactivation means in the plurality of bays, as well as among other things, controlling the exhaust ports, to effect continuous processing of hazardous wastes in order to provide a selected output of emission gases to said expansion chamber and air pollution control system.
