What Are Incinerators?
Incinerators are facilities designed for the combustion of waste materials. They are widely used for incinerating combustible waste in various regions and can be categorized by scale into large, medium, and small sizes, and by structure into batch and continuous types.
Batch incinerators involve manual processes such as loading waste material, while continuous incinerators can operate around the clock, handling all processes from input to removal automatically. Continuous incinerators are particularly efficient for large-scale waste management operations.
A common type of incinerator used for waste incineration is the moving grate furnace. In this system, waste material is fed onto a grate-like fire bed, where it undergoes sequential incineration stages. These stages include drying to eliminate moisture, combustion for vigorous burning, and post-combustion to address any remaining unburned materials. During the process, ash is continuously removed from the fire grate, ensuring efficient disposal.
