The electricity is sold to municipalities and/or industrial customers industries. The waste-to-energy option will ensure consumer commodities are destroyed by removing liability for the generator and also provide a reduction in overall greenhouse gas emissions by replacing the use of fossil fuels for electricity generation. This process also provides a low cost option to landfills for customers with goals to reduce or eliminate the use of landfill disposal. Cylinder Processing Tradebe's Energetic Program offers compressed gas cylinder identification and disposal services. Tradebe's East Chicago TSDF can process many types of reactive and flammable cylinders. Tradebe's cylinder processing unit operates a liquid cooled chemical reactor with multiple scrubbing filter systems to process material in-house. Materials are treated by neutralization, recovery for reuse, and reaction with reagents to produce inert materials. Tradebe's trained staff also has the ability to identify cylinders with no visible markings or labels ensuring the transportation and disposal of each item is completed following regulations from the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency. Cylinder Building Main Components: • Reactor: cylinders downloaded into Reactors' Solvents • Venturi Scrubber: Inorganic scrubber system that has a snorkel hooked directly to it to capture any fugitive vapors • Wet Scrubber: Inorganic scrubber system that captures Reactors' vapors • Carbon Scrubber: Organic scrubber system that contains activated carbon to capture all organic vapors Thermal Treatment Waste that is highly toxic or reactive and cannot be safely managed by any other treatment method is sent for incineration. Thermal destruction involves the use of high temperature to break down toxins and sterilize waste. Examples of waste that may go for incineration include: • Poison inhalation hazards • Strong toxics that are unable to be treated such as Strychnine • Flammable solids that cannot be fueled (non D003 Metal Powders) • Spontaneously combustible material (Sodium Dithionite) • Reactive materials carrying a D003 (e.g. Wetted Picric Acid) • Dangerous when wet materials (alkali metals and alkali earth metals, e.g. Potassium) Sustainability at Work 35
