Waste Management Plan

 Systems               Description
                       restaurants and cafes or placed within a refuse room for centralisation to multiple users. Pulped food waste is
                       pumped into holding tanks for storage and collection via a 50mm pipe and collected by a liquid vacuum
                       tanker.
                       The images below provide visual context of the connection from pulping machine to storage tank and the
                       option for decanting 120L bins into the machine via a bin lifter and auger feed. The tank may be up to 20m
                       away from the pulping machine. The distance is increased when including vertical drops from upper levels of
                       the building. The storage tank may be up to 30m from a loading area, with the only requirement being a
                       service pipe with camlock end connection placed within proximity of the loading area. Collections are
                       completed by a vacuum tanker which may range in size depending on the size of the storage tanks and the
                       distance of the tank from the loading area.

 Waste                 Converting waste by reducing its volume and weight means less material to be disposed of, which results in
 Conversion            fewer refuse collection vehicle kilometres. This allows cost savings in logistics and has a positive environmental
                       effect due to less fuel used per amount of waste to be disposed.
                       As an example, OMPECO provide a solution for converting general and medical waste into a sterilised,
                       dehydrated ground material as shown below. The process involves loading the sterilisation chamber with
                       waste material and crushing / shredding of the material by rotors to produce a fine ground. During the
                       process, the material is heated by friction to 100˚C which causes the moisture in the waste material to
                       evaporate. After evaporation, the material is heated further to sterilisation or pasteurisation. The ground
                       material is then cooled down to be unloaded from the converter. The final product has excellent long-term
                       handling and storage properties, the it has up to 80% less volume and 50% less weight than the original waste
                       material. It can be used in waste to energy systems as it is comparatively dry with a high calorific value.

 Waste                 Various compaction equipment exists for reducing the volume of (general) waste. As a result, less bins and / or
 compaction            fewer bin collections and service vehicle trips are required, which helps to reduce costs and environmental
                       impact.
