Inside Massive Facility Burning Tons of Trash Everyday

In this episode on Tekniq, we will explore the processes of disposing of unwanted trash and garbage through the use of incinerators.

We have a incinerator here in Mankato Minnesota. Your taking 1 cubic meter and turning it into 1 cubic foot. And your getting power from it. Excellent idea.

I worked as an industrial hydroblaster in 2001 .we went to Nashville Thermal plant that burned trash for electricity…we cleaned the ash around the coils and did inspections to the coils .. the claw was called “ The Fluffer” which feed the augers the furnace

Really reminds me of the incinerator scene in Toy Story 3.
*"The Claw..."*

I was part of a commissioning team for sites like this. I am pleased to say that around 400Mw of plant over 10 years put into service by our team. Excellent work chaps and a pleasure to have known you all.

I Worked at Waste Company ( As garbage sorter, in Mississauga. And I didnt want to eat anything my lunch and dinner. Because even after clean the smell of dirty garbage was still on me.

THE CLAW....you have saved our lives, we are eternally grateful (Toy story movie)

I love that this is happening. I had the same idea a few years back. I don't know where this plant is but yeah I think that this can be done in a very responsible way with superheated fires and exhaust filters/ catalytic converters. It's a whole lot better than ruining the land with landfills and filling the ocean with plastic. 👍👍

Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.

Where I live in New York USA is also the same except there are no dumps anymore in New York either trash is moved by truck or barge to New Jersey where it's also burned into electricity

[PrtoPoTaT]

This is dope because it gives electricity and it gets rid of trash. Yes when you ignite anything there is nasty byproducts but this has to be the closest thing we have to getting rid of trash safely.

Years ago before they had remote control and remote monitoring, the crane operator sat in a cab on top of the crane and was up there for 8 hours at a shift.
They brought a jug of water to drink and a jug to pee in, and they brought their lunch.
In every one of those now abandoned places that had these cabs, you can find adult magazines. These places were all male and guys would bring adult magazines into the cab.

I kid you not

It was a different time

there is currently no market for recycled plastic in the US. Most all of it gets burned even when you put it in the recycling bin at your home for collection like a good, compliant citizen

[TheSilmarillian]

Have lived remote rural off gris her down under for about ten years or so, my the cities produce a lot of trash, knew that am no greenie but these throw away trash levels are unsustainable in my humble opinion. Guess thats why I live out here with my people where we do. Before anyone asks, solar, wind and rain water plus raise my own vegetables, hunt my own game, internet have satellite.

[BradTimms-zn]

Seems pretty efficient. The bits like metal that cannot be incinerated can then go to an electric arc furnace to be melted down and made into new steel for new products.

19:38 lol the guy wearing his harness backwards and not even tied off.

Boss: "Make sure you put on your harness for the cameras!"

Nous devons nettoyer notre maison qui est la planète terre après toute cette pollution laisser par nous et nos ancêtres ! Bravo, beau travail les gars continuez comme ça. ♻️🌎

burning the waste looks like a really good idea as it gets rid of it and it generates power so it is win win, the only thing i did not like was how the ash was dumped as it clearly still has steal in it which poses a hazard to people and animals and is just a waste, the ash really should go under a magnet separator that way the steal could be sold as scrap and reused. That glass recycling place is a mess and an accident waiting to happen, glass all over the very road that the drop off trucks are using or the way the trucks dump the load in a way where the load falls under the wheels of the truck, at best you are going to get a flat and at worst constantly driving over glass is going to cut up and weaken the tires so they fail when you least expect it
