How a Solid Waste Incinerator Works

How a Solid Waste Incinerator Works Solid waste incinerators work by burning waste in a high temperature, controlled environment, typically using a dual chamber system to ensure complete combustion and minimize harmful emissions. First, the primary combustion chamber heats and decomposes the waste, typically using a moving grate or rotary kiln to mix and convey the material. Then, the remaining gases are further burned in a secondary combustion chamber, which uses high temperature and oxygen. The resulting high temperature gases are treated to remove pollutants before being discharged.
