WHAT IS WASTE
TREATMENT?
Waste treatment refers to the process of
managing, treating, and disposing of
waste in a safe and environmentally
responsible manner. The goal of waste
treatment is to reduce the harm caused
by waste to human health and the
environment.

WASTE TRANSPORTERS - are individuals
or entities that move hazardous waste from one site
to another by highway, rail, water, or air.
● Plays a vital role in hazardous waste
management system.
REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSPORTERS

❖ Must be registered with the EMB

❖ Issuance of transport permit
❖ Different hauling trucks
❖ Prescribed manifest form
❖ Conduct Personnel Training
WASTE TRANSPORTATION
WASTE TREATERS/RECYCLERS:
TSD FACILITIES - TSD is the abbreviation for
Treatment, Storage, and Disposal facilities.
Simply put, these are Hazardous Waste Management
Facilities that receive and handle the treatment,
storage and disposal of hazardous waste.
REQUIREMENTS FOR TSD FACILITIES

❖ Secure Environmental Compliance Certificate

❖ Register with EMB
❖ Submit certificate of treatment
❖ Submit report to EMB
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIES OF HOW
HAZARDOUS WASTE IS MANAGED
WASTE EXCHANGE
● Is where the waste product of one process
becomes the raw materials for a second
process. This is similar to using pre-consumer
recycling material in a product.
● Commonly used by companies near each other.

HOW
HAZARDOUS
WASTE IS
TREATED?
HOW HAZARDOUS WASTE IS TREATED?
Hazardous waste can be treated by chemical,
thermal, biological, and physical methods.
HOW HAZARDOUS WASTE IS TREATED?
Hazardous waste can be treated by chemical
methods especially by the following treatment
procedures including ion exchange, precipitation,
and oxidation and reduction.

For chemical treatment methods that are used to

effect the complete breakdown of hazardous waste
into non-toxic gases or, more frequently, to modify
the chemical properties of the waste
CHEMICAL METHOD TREATMENTS
ION EXCHANGE - is a chemical reaction in which
the exchange of ions of the same charge between
an insoluble solid and a solution in contact with it,
used in water-softening and other purification and
separation processes.

PRECIPITATION - the process of conversion of a

solution into solid by converting the substance into
insoluble form or by making the solution a super
saturated one.
 THERMAL METHOD TREATMENTS
OXIDATION & REDUCTION REACTION - are chemical
reactions in which the reactants undergo a change in
their oxidation states.
Thermal treatment is a process by which heat is applied
to the waste to sanitize it. The primary function of thermal
treatment is to convert the waste to a stable and usable
end product and reduce the amount that requires final
disposal in landfills. Systems that are generally
considered to be thermal treatment includes Incineration
and Pyrolysis Methods.
 BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT METHOD
In this technique, the waste is carefully mixed with
surface soil on a suitable tract of land. Microbes that can
metabolize the waste may be added, along with
nutrients. In some cases, a genetically engineered
species of bacteria is used.
❖ Aerobic wastewater treatment is a biological process that
takes place in the presence of oxygen, it encourages the
growth of naturally occurring aerobic microorganisms as a
means of renovating wastewater.
❖ Anaerobic wastewater treatment is the biological
treatment of wastewater without the use of air or
elemental oxygen.
PHYSICAL TREATMENT METHOD
Physical treatment, on the other hand, concentrates,
solidifies, or reduces the volume of the waste.
Physical processes include evaporation,
sedimentation, and filtration. Yet another process is
solidification, which is achieved by encapsulating
the waste in concrete, asphalt, or plastic.
Encapsulation produces a solid mass of material
that is resistant to leaching. Waste can also be
mixed with lime, fly ash, and water to form a solid,
cement like product.
STORAGE OR DISPOSAL OF SOME AMOUNT OF
HAZARDOUS WASTE

Hazardous waste is commonly stored prior to

treatment or disposal, and must be stored in
containers, tanks, containment buildings, drip pads,
waste piles, or surface impoundments that comply
with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) regulations.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE CONTAINMENT ARE:
❖ The containment material is compatible with the stored
material (it won't be degraded by a spill).
❖ All materials stored in the same secondary containment are
compatible (they won't chemically react with each other).
❖ The volume of the secondary containment needs to be 110%
of the volume of a single container or, if there are multiple
containers, the LARGER of either 150% of the largest
container volume or 10% of the total volume of all the
containers.
❖ Plastic is often used for secondary containment. Most
laboratories on campus use a heavy-duty plastic tray
❖ Some Physical Plant facilities have used cut-down poly drums
or galvanized metal for secondary containment.
Hazardous wastes that are not destroyed by incineration or
other chemical processes need to be disposed of properly. For
most such wastes, land disposal is the ultimate destination,
although it is not an attractive practice, because of the
inherent environmental risks involved. Two basic methods of
land disposal include landfilling and underground injection.
Prior to land disposal, surface storage or containment systems
are often employed as a temporary method.

A common type of temporary storage impoundment for

hazardous liquid waste is an open pit or holding pond, called a
lagoon. New lagoons must be lined with impervious clay soils
and flexible membrane liners in order to protect groundwater.

LAW AND
ORGANIZATION
OF WASTE
HAZARDOUS
MANAGEMENT
1. Republic Act No. 6969 (Toxic
Substances and Hazardous and
Nuclear Waste Control Act of 1990)
This law regulates the importation, manufacture,
processing, distribution, and disposal of toxic
substances and hazardous waste. It ensures
proper handling, storage, treatment, and disposal
of these materials to prevent adverse effects on
human health and the environment.
2. Republic Act No. 9275 (Philippine
Clean Water Act of 2004)
While primarily focused on water quality, this
law also addresses hazardous waste
management. It prohibits the discharge of
toxic pollutants into water bodies and
emphasizes the need for proper treatment and
disposal of hazardous substances.
3. Republic Act No. 9003, also known
as the "Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000"
While this law mainly emphasizes solid waste
management, it also covers the proper handling,
storage, treatment, and disposal of hazardous
waste, including the establishment of hazardous
waste management facilities.
4. Department Administrative
Order (DAO) No. 2013-22
This order issued by the Philippine Department
of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)
provides guidelines for the proper handling,
transport, storage, treatment, and disposal of
hazardous waste. It sets specific requirements
for hazardous waste generators, transporters,
and treatment and disposal facilities.
ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PHILIPPINES THAT
PROMOTE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR HANDLING
HAZARDOUS WASTE:

1. Environmental Management Bureau (EMB)

Under the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR), the EMB is responsible
for implementing and enforcing environmental
laws, including hazardous waste management
regulations. They work towards proper waste
disposal, pollution control, and environmental
protection.
2. Hazardous Waste Management Society (HWMS)

This non-profit organization aims to promote

awareness and provide information on
hazardous waste management. HWMS conducts
seminars, forums, and training programs to
educate individuals and organizations on the
proper handling, storage, and disposal of
hazardous waste.
3. Philippine Association of Hazardous Waste
Management Practitioners (PAHWMP)
This organization is composed of professionals
and experts involved in hazardous waste
management. PAHWMP advocates for sustainable
waste management practices, conducts research,
and promotes the exchange of knowledge and
best practices among its members.
4. EcoWaste Coalition
The EcoWaste Coalition is a network of
environmental and public health organizations in
the Philippines. They work towards eliminating
toxic chemicals, promoting waste reduction, and
advocating for safe waste management
practices, including hazardous waste.
