At present KESTL operates two liquid incinerators and one solid incinerator. KESTL has invested significant resources into understanding the hierarchy of Waste Management; understanding the waste streams and the chemistry of the material has resulted in significant changes in the approach to waste disposal for the incinerators. The concept of using waste to dispose of waste provided the backbone for KESTL developing an alternative fuel blend for powering its incinerators. For the past eight years, KESTL incinerators have been operating on waste as the fuel source. This allowed for faster processing of incoming waste, reduced footprint required for storage prior to disposal, and elimination of diesel as the fuel source. This led to discussions on harnessing the wasted heat energy exhausted from the incinerators. The team subsequently developed and implemented a heat exchanger system to recover heat energy from the solid incinerator. The recovered heat energy is being utilize to provide hot water for various applications at the Waste Treatment Facility. KESTL supports its major international manufacturing clients with its global position on “Zero Waste to Landfill”– leading by example with a solutions-driven approach to environmental management, a commitment to innovation and new ideas, and the challenge to pursue the cutting edge of environmental technology. The philosophy of ‘Continuous Improvement Towards Total Quality’ has helped make Kaizen Environmental Services a leader in providing cost effective environmentally reliable solutions and promises a bright future for this innovative company.
