One Small Incinerator Handles All the Trash at a Busy Remote Alaskan Mine
The mining operations are in a remote, rugged area about 300 miles northwest of Anchorage, not far from the Yukon River and the town of Galena, Alaska. Getting equipment, supplies, food, etc., to or from the mine is expensive and complicated. With a crew of more than 100, the camp generates a significant amount of waste daily. Flying waste out is prohibitively expensive. Burying food waste, trash, and equipment maintenance waste is unsanitary and dangerous. Food waste attracts bears, and equipment waste is hazardous to the environment. Their Firelake A-850 incinerator simplifies their camp waste management. It reduces the volume of trash and waste by 96% and turns it into inert ash, which they can safely bury.
Their Firelake Incinerator is perfect for remote locations.
- Installation is simple enough to complete with ease.
- A maintenance person can master the setup, operation, and maintenance steps with simple instructions.
- The incinerator is long-lasting and durable. It will run reliably for over a decade, whether in the open air or enclosed, with routine maintenance by the mining camp’s maintenance person.
