waste management system Hdpe Pepe for Waste Management Systems

Searching for a reliable source of hdpe pipe for your waste management systems? We are actively looking for engineering companies and contractors who build waste management systems for sewage wastewater, hazardous industrial waste transfer, solid waste disposal and the collection of methane and leachate from landfills. We manufacturer perforated landfill gas pipe, sewer pipe and solid wastewater pipe for waste management systems. Our perforated hdpe pipe is ideal for engineers who don't follow a standard perforation profile. Using a perforator that can adapt to the any engineer's personal preference - we do up to 4" perforations in a vertical line in any profile, i.e., 2, 4, 6 & 10 o'clock pattern, and we specialize in perforating hdpe pipe from 3" to 18" diameter.

Waste Management Systems
Waste management systems are an organized structure of technologies designed for the collection, transportation, processing and disposal of waste materials. These materials can be liquid, gaseous or solid in nature, and are generated by biological and chemical processes found in residential, commercial and industrial environments. Traditionally, a waste management system is a method of collection followed by disposal. Today, processing plays a much large role in order to reduce the amount of waste that is disposed. Waste management systems differ in purpose from the storage of waste, to its reduction, its reuse or recovery for another use, or disposal. They also vary in methods and technologies depending on the type of waste they have to handle, i.e., hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Collection, process and disposal methods often vary from country to country, even from town to town.

landfill gas pipeKinds of Waste Management Systems

There are several kinds of waste management depending on the method used to handle the waste. Incinerators, for instance, are a waste disposal method that uses combustion as means of dealing with waste at high temperatures. Composting is another method of waste management that breakdowns waste that is organic in nature, i.e, plants, food, and paper, using anaerobic digestion.

At Oxford Plastics, we specialize in those waste management projects involving the collection of waste and its transfer to another location. This includes landfill gas pipe, hazardous waste transfer pipe, acid transfer and pollution control lines and sludge handling. Capable of handling extremely corrosive materials, our hdpe pipe is designed to handle most forms of waste without any risk of leaking or pipe breakdown.

landfill pipe1. Landfill
Disposing of waste in a landfill is probably the most popular method of waste disposal. With the right design, a landfill can be a hygienic and relatively inexpensive method of disposing of waste. A poorly designed landfill, on the other hand, can be environmental nightmare. The biggest problem is dealing with the landfill gas that is generated by the anaerobic breakdown of the organic waste. Unless the leachate and methane are properly collected, a landfill will pollute the groundwater and surrounding surface water. To avoid this a modern landfill will have landfill gas extraction system. The gas is pumped out of the landfill using perforated pipes and flared off or burnt in a gas engine. Some landfills even use the gas to generate electricity. Landfill Gas Pipe >>

hazardous waste2. Hazardous Waste Disposal
Hazardous waste requires a special type of waste management system. Hazardous waste is any discarded solid or liquid that 1) contains one or more carcinogenic compounds that exceed established standards, i.e., solvents, pesticides, and paint strippers, that 2) catches fire easily, i.e.,, gasoline, paints, and solvents, and 3) is reactive or unstable enough to explode or release toxic fumes, i.e., acids, bases, ammonia, and chlorine bleach, or 4) is capable of corroding metal containers such as tanks, drums, and barrels. A leak free system of pipe is essential when dealing with hazardous waste.

industrial waste pipe3. Sewage and Wastewater
Another major source of pollution is the sewage and wastewater generated the consumption of water and food. Aside from solid and hazardous waste waste going into our environment, sewage and wastewater pose a great threat to public health, safety, and the environment. It most waste management systems, sewage and wastewater pass through a sewage treatment plant before it moves its way to rivers, lakes and oceans. Sewer Pipe >>
