How an incinerator works

Different types of waste (solid waste, liquid waste, gaseous waste) are generated in industrial manufacturing. Most of the use scenarios of the incinerator are to treat waste, so what is the working principle of the incinerator? What is the standardized process?

1. Pre-treatment process

Household garbage collected by garbage removal trucks is dumped into the garbage storage tank. A hydraulic actuator unit pushes the waste to the incinerator's lift bucket.

The hoist sends the garbage to the sealed device above the first combustion chamber, and after the garbage in the combustion chamber is burned out, it is put into the combustion chamber. The design of the two furnace doors allows for negative pressure operation throughout the whole process to ensure that harmful gases do not leak out.

2. Incineration process

Garbage is decomposed by heat under the conditions of medium temperature and lack of oxygen in the first combustion room, which is the combustible gas of large particles of volatile molecules in the material from large particles of solid to small molecules. It then enters the secondary combustion chamber.

The secondary combustion chamber is a vertical structure, with an upward and downward flue gas flow mode, an operating temperature of 850-1000 °C, and a residence time of > 2s for the flue gas in the secondary combustion chamber. The upper part is equipped with an automatic reset explosion-proof device and an emergency chimney.
