• Concerned Technician/Operator shall be responsible for operating the Incinerator as per this SOP.
• Officer/ Executive- Engineering shall be responsible for the implementation of this SOP.
• Accountability:Head Engineering and shall be responsible for compliance of this SOP.
• Abbreviations and Definitions:
• MCC : Machine control Center
• ID Fan : Induced Draft Fan
• FD Fan : Forced Draft Fan
• SOP : Standard Operating Procedure
• ETP : Effluent Treatment Plant
• pH :Negative of log of hydrogen ion concentration
• HSD : High Speed diesel
• HSD : High Speed Diesel

• Procedure
• Pre-Start up 
• Ensure that there shall be sufficient HSD in the storage tank which will be available near to Incinerator plant.
• Collect the Hazardous Waste material.
• Closed the drain Valve of the Wet Scrubber / Ventury Scrubber Tank and Condensate traps.
• Fill the Wet Scrubber Tank with water.
• Prepared 5% caustic solution in the Ventury Scrubber tank

Note:-  5 % Caustic Solution-5gm caustic w/v in 100 ml water.

• Start the Wet Scrubber Recirculation Pump for recirculation from Wet Scrubber to tank ensuring smooth functioning.
• Start the Ventury Scrubber Recirculation Pump for recirculation from Ventury Scrubber to tank ensuring smooth functioning.
• Open the FD air valve of the Primary & Secondary chamber.

• Operation of
  • Start the ID and FD fan
  • Set the temperature as follows:-
  • PRIMARY CHAMBER: 850 ⁰C ± 50^oC
  • SECONDARY CHAMBER: 1050 ⁰C ± 50^oC

• Switch ON Primary Chamber Burner and allow the temperature to reach to 500⁰
• Now Switch ON Secondary Chamber Burner and allow the temperature to reach to 1000.
• Note the Pre heat Start Time for Secondary Chamber as per Annexure-I.
• Immediately closed the door.
