Incineration

Incineration

Incineration is a process where the solid wastes are burned at high temperature in large furnaces, which reduces the volume and weight of the waste much lesser and give rise to ashes. It is estimated that the weight of the waste is reduced around 80%-85%, while the volume is reduced around 95% depending upon the material type. Incineration can be extensively applied to hazardous waste, municipal waste, bio-medical and medical wastes.

As well as the energy recovered from this process can be utilized to generate electricity. The main stages in incineration are sludge treatment, Combustion in furnace, and energy recovery. Incineration is usually carried in areas away from human residents.
