Description
of the CWTC
Chemical Waste Treatment
The CWTC
operates a variety of treatment systems including oil/water
separation, high temperature incineration, inorganic waste
treatment and recovery, wastewater treatment and chemical
stabilisation.
The processes
aim to recover useful materials or energy wherever possible.
For example heat is recovered at every available point of
the treatment processes, copper oxide is recovered from the
etchant system, fuel (MARPOL Derived Fuel) from the MARPOL
Annex I waste and process water from the PO*WW*ERTM wastewater
treatment process. As the waste is received, it is mixed with
compatible wastes. The compatible wastes are monitored and
evaluated while moving through the storage system and treatment
processes. This ensures that all wastes are properly treated.
