Waste incineration is the thermal destruction of waste materials, in a responsible manner. Many types of waste are incinerated including hazardous, industrial, chemical, pharmaceutical medical waste and many others. Waste oils, solvents or other materials that contaminate soil can also be destroyed by thermal treatment of the soil.
Metso Outotec has over thirty-five years experience is designing waste incineration systems, has designed more than 700 plants with controlled air and/or rotary kiln applications.

BENEFITS
Thermal destruction of waste
Heat recovery boiler to recover heat and convert to usable steam
Engineering and design of complete plants
Integrated control system for safe and reliable operation and recording
Basic waste incineration process
Incineration in a rotary kiln is a three step process including drying, combustion and burnout (complete thermal destruction.) Oxygen addition and temperature is controlled to specified temperatures to ensure complete burnout and destruction.
