A furnace for the routine burning of waste materials using controlled flame combustion
Typically consists of a furnace and stack unit used for a variety of disposal activities including the controlled burning of medical waste, packaging and varieties of municipal waste
Facility subject to authorisation, designed to incinerate waste More and more incinerators now rcover waste in the form of electricity or thermal energy The by-products of incineration (bottom ash and fly ash) are processed with a view to controlling the impacts of this activity both on mankind and on the environment
a specially designed furnace in which waste is burnt; incineration produces air emissions, flue and bottom ash, and non-combustible residue, the amount and composition of which varies according to the age, design, and environmental controls of the incinerator
An incinerator is a special large container for burning rubbish at a very high temperature. a machine designed to burn things in order to destroy them
Any device used to burn solid or liquid residues or wastes as a method of disposal In some incinerators, provisions are made for recovering the heat produced
Refractory lined chamber with a fuel burner, air supply, quench medium (for high BTU wastes), waste injector(s) and optional heat recovery and flue gas scrubbing An instrumented safety and control system is used to assure proper addition of fuel, air, wastes and quench plus operation of the optional hardware
Any enclosed device that: Uses controlled flame combustion and neither meets the criteria for classification as a boiler, sludge dryer, or carbon regeneration unit, nor is listed as an industrial furnace, or Meets the definition of infrared incinerator or plasma arc incinerator
