Abstract

The trend in the development of railway transport also includes the solution of such an important environmental, technological, sanitary and, to some extent, aesthetic problem as the transfer of all operated mainline passenger trains to environmentally friendly toilet complexes (EFTC). For the disposal of EFTC waste, a system has been created for the disposal of fecal waste in parking lots, which are then transported by sewage disposal machines and dumped into general treatment facilities. At the moment, as one of the possible options for industrial waste disposal of EFTC, wastewater sludge incineration plants are being considered. The method of waste incineration reduces the time, labor and financial costs of waste turnover, and taking into account the epidemiological risks of fecal waste, it has high development prospects. This article discusses similar combustion processes using the example of technologies implemented at wastewater sludge incineration plants, emissions from enterprises and the processes of formation of pollutants. And also, within the framework of this work, a comparative analysis of the control of emissions of pollutants from the combustion of sewage sludge into the atmosphere in the Russian Federation and in the EU, countries were carried out.
