Non-metal melting system
Description of the Non-metal Melting System
Combustibles and semi-combustibles, such as rubber and vinyl chloride, and incombustibles, such as glass and concrete, are treated using the Non-metal Melting System in the Waste Volume Reduction Facility (WVRF).
This system consists of the Incinerator, a Plasma furnace, and an Off gas treatment unit.
The furnace uses the plasma heating system to efficiently heat the incombustibles.
