<p>A waste processing system in which containerized waste (96) is received substantially at ground level and is conveyed to an elevator (24) which carries the containerized waste to an upper level discharger which transports the containerized waste, dumps the containers down a drop chute (28) and returns the empty containers to ground level. The dumped waste is shredded and is either injected into an incinerator (202) or is discharged downwardly. The entire system is enclosed and can be maintained at either a negative or positive pressure for receiving radioactive or hazardous wastes, or at a reduced oxygen environment for receiving flammable hazardous waste. Containerized waste is received through air locks (42, 44) which include sliding doors (52, 54) that are supported entirely about the peripheries when sealed for purposes of explosion resistance.</p> |
