Unique waste management facility launched! Mass media about the event in JSC Apatit

Russia’s only industrial waste, used CAT tires and railway sleepers, management Complex was launched at the production site of JSC Apatit ore-dressing plant (PhosAgro Group) in Murmansk region on August 29. Safe Technologies Industrial Group manufactured and supplied the equipment for the Complex arrangement: КТО-100.К40.П incinerator and TDP-1 pyrolysis plant. The event aroused great interest on the part of the media.

The complex includes two modules, one of which gives the fuel necessary for the operation of another unit, by treatment of mining equipment tires that have become unusable, the Khibinformburo news agency reports. Obtained fuel by a very short pipeline is immediately pumped to the adjacent module, where it is used for the utilization of railway sleepers, used oil filters and other industrial wastes of high toxicity.

The agency quotes Anton Turtanov, the Head of the Environmental Control and Nature Management Department of JSC Apatit, about the environmental safety of KTO and TDP:

Driven by high temperatures in a sealed chamber, the tires, if anything, is decomposed. The fully automated process eliminates harmful emissions into the atmosphere. (…) The main feature of this facility is that the exhaust gases are burned in a special chamber at a temperature of up to 1500 °C. All substances dangerous to human health, for example, dioxins, are simply split into safe components.
