TRANSFER MEANS AND METHODS

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Used to transport solid waste on highways. Should satisfied the following requirement
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Minimum cost Covered during the haul operation Design for highway traffic Allowable weight limits are not exceeded Method used for unloading must be simple and dependable

 2 types of trailers

Open top trailers

Semitrailers

 Method used to unload the transport trailers. 1. Self emptying (equipped with mechanism) Examples : Hydraulic dump beds Moving floor 2. Required the aid to auxiliary equipment Example : pull-off the used of movable hydraulically operated tipping ramps

RAILROAD TRANSPORT
Usually used in the past. Nowadays, railroads are used for hauling solid wastes.

Water Transport
In the past, water transportation like barges, scow and special boats have been used to transport solid wastes to processing locations and to seaside and ocean disposal sites . considered to be a cheaper, easier and relatively safe alternative to land-based disposal and has been conducted without any control. Ocean disposal no longer practiced now

Pneumatic Transport
Also popularly known as Automated Waste Collection System (AWCS). Both low pressure air and vacuum conduct transport systems have been used to transport solid wastes. Solid waste being conveyed pneumatically by underground pipelines from its place of generation to a central collection facility where it is loaded into sealed containers and compacted before being transported using regular hook lift trucks to a treatment center.

 Based on the physical principle that air, under certain conditions, is able to convey heavy materials. Causes air to flow by creating a pressure difference between the start and end of the pipe. To allow solid waste to be transported, the driving flow forces of the air must be larger than the forces acting on the particle. This airflow in the pipe using the measured air velocity of 18-23m/s is ideal to move all general solid waste material from one determined location to another.
