Mining Incinerator
Mining Waste:
A Complex Environmental
and Operational Challenge
Improper disposal can lead to wildlife attraction, land and groundwater contamination, and air quality violations.
Managing these wastes is difficult due to remote locations with limited access to landfill, recycling, or hauling infrastructure, harsh weather conditions, and regulatory pressure to reduce environmental impact and eliminate open burning.
Remote mining operations generate diverse waste streams that include domestic (camp) waste, food, packaging, kitchen grease, PPE, and oily rags and other hydrocarbon-contaminated materials.
Why Incineration Is the Optimal Solution for Remote Mine Sites
Thermal destruction via incineration is the most effective way to manage non-recyclable mining waste, particularly in isolated or high-sensitivity environments.
Key Advantages:
- Volume reduction of up to 95%
- No reliance on haul-back logistics, minimizing cost and GHG emissions
- Complete destruction of pathogens, hydrocarbons, and volatile organics
- Control over emissions—critical for environmentally regulated operations
Engineering Requirements for Mine-Ready Incinerators
- Dual-chamber combustion with a minimum of 2-second retention at 850-1000+°C depending on jurisdiction
- Automated cycle control to reduce operator error
- Low-maintenance operation with minimal downtime
- Compatibility with diesel, propane, or dual-fuel systems
- Can use waste oil as an auxiliary fuel
- Compliance with air emission limits
- Built-in safety features
