The WASTEGONE has to be fed with solid waste on uniform intervals. During the commissioning process an initial start ignition is done by using camphor/dry-wood after which the decomposition starts slowly by splitting the molecules into atoms. Further ionization of atoms into electrons, protons and neutrons is called “plasma and ionization state”. The acceleration of electrons creates a strong energy which increases and maintains the heat in the chamber.
On the other side of the oxygen starved chamber a small amount of atmospheric air is allowed to pass through a strong magnetic field, generated by the WASTEGONE’s magnetic cores. During this operation oxygen molecules are split into elemental oxygen with negative charge. This atomic oxygen perfectly oxidizes organic surface and changes organic matter to desperate organic oxide. This exothermic phenomenon requires thermal conditions around 200°C, initiated by the initial decomposition, in order to accelerate the reaction. From 200°C to 800 - 1200°C the actual decomposition of the solid waste takes place.
The decomposition of the solid waste takes place stack wise and for this the heat energy developed may not be continuous. The temperature however can be controlled by letting more oxygen into the decomposition chamber. At the bottom of the destruction chamber, near the lower layer of the equipment, there’s a tubular type radiator where the eco friendly ash (admissible values/characteristics according to testing by DOST) gets deposited and separated. Due to this structure the waste heat is recovered and directed back to the wet waste where the moisture content is reduced phenomenally.
The flue gas emission from the decomposition chamber is released with induced draft. The emission may contain some toxic components like dioxins, furans, heavy metals, nitrogen oxides, etc., which are treated through 3 wet scrubbers to bring the emission well under the norms as prescribed in strict U.S. and European regulations.
