Saniterm's refractory lining consists of a 100mm. ceramic fiber insulation against the steel shell and a 100mm. monolithic refractory lining against the furnace chamber.

All secured by a number of stainless steel anchors welded to the steel shell.

The ceiling is insulated by 200mm. ceramic fiber Pyro-blocks welded to

the steel roof.

The floor is insulated by a castable insulation and protected by refractory bricks.

Eventual cracks in the refractory less than 3mm. should be disregarded

as they will close completely during operation and the anchors will secure that no parts of the refractory will fall out.

This type of refractory lining normally last up to 20 years of operation. If any damage occur in the lining it is extremely easy to repair by applying a mix of repair cement.

The complete lining will allow a furnace temperature of 1450°C. However, when the temperature exceeds 1.000°C the sludge incineration will stop automatically and there will be an alarm saying that the furnace temperature is too high. This is a warning to the operator that he may have charged into the incinerator a waste bag containing a too high heat value.

The reason for the 1.000°C alarm is also to keep the furnace temperature below the melting point of glass. Eventual melted glass bottles will stick to the refractory and be impossible to remove without damage to the refractory.

EXPERIENCE AND DEVELOPMENTS

- Environmental versions with dual chamber design with better incineration of exhaust gases

- Relatively smaller versions with compact single chamber design with same or higher capacity

- Simultaneous burning of oil sludge and solid waste

- Continuous burning of solid waste

- Automatic burning of oil sludge

- Oil sludge burning with up to 50% water without pilot fuel

- PLC electric control panel

- Special attention to high quality refractory

- Certification from MED, IMO and all leading classification societies

SOLID WASTE

Galley waste, engine room waste such as oil and fuel filters, oily rags etc. provided they are charged in reasonable quantities according to the heat value. Tin can will mostly disappear.

Telephone books, complete cabbage heads, oranges etc. should be avoided as they need extremely long time to incinerate.

SLUDGE

All kinds of oily sludge can be charged into the incinerator provided the viscosity is atomizeable. From pure water to heavy oil. The water content should not exceed 50% though, to avoid excessive use of additional fuel and time spent to evaporate the water. The temperature in the sludge should not exceed 80 degrees to protect the magnet valves.
