An incinerator is a furnace that uses high temperatures to burn garbage, reducing its volume and converting it into gas and ash. Modern incinerators are often equipped with air pollution control devices that filter the gases before they are discharged through the chimney. Incinerators are used to process a variety of waste types, including domestic, industrial, and medical waste. Some incinerators can also generate energy during the combustion process.
In China, a new type of waste incinerator, the Fireprint low-temperature magnetic waste incinerator, uses evaporation, gasification, and carbonization thermal decomposition technology. It requires no fuel or flames and can generate electricity.
