Incineration

Incineration is the high temperature waste treatment process, at a temperature of 1,100c, which turns waste materials into ash. The heat which is generated by high temperature incineration can often be used to generate electric.

Incineration with energy recovery is a waste to energy technology such as anaerobic digestion. It may also be used without energy recovery in mind.

Typical examples of waste disposed of through Incineration:

  • Spent absorbants
  • Flammable and non flammable resins
  • Oxidizers
  • Toxic waste
  • Fuel oil
  • Contaminated rags and ppe
  • Contaminated soil
  • Bitumen material
  • Herbicides/Pesticides/Insecticides
