incinerators - disposal systems that burn solid waste or other materials and reduce volume of waste. Air pollution and toxic ash are problems associated with incineration.

Incinerator: A furnace for burning waste under controlled conditions.
Incompatible Waste: A waste unsuitable for mixing with another waste or material because it may react to form a hazard.

incinerator A furnace for burning organic maeterial under controlled conditions, leaving only ash.
incompatible waste A waste unsuitable for mixing with another waste or material because it may react to form a hazard.

Incinerator: facility in which the combustion of solid waste takes place.
Industrial Waste: materials discarded from industrial operations or derived from manufacturing processes.

Incinerator
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.
Incompatible Waste ...

Mobile Incinerator Systems: Hazardous waste incinerators that can be transported from one site to another.
Mobile Source: Any non-stationary source of air pollution such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, airplanes, and locomotives.

In incinerator design, a chamber designed to promote the settling of fly ash and coarse particulate matter by changing the direction and/or reducing the velocity of the gases produced by the combustion of the refuse or sludge.

Catalytic incinerator
a device in which the use of catalysts allows the combustion of solvent vapours and other VOCs to be carried out at relatively low temperatures ...

Rotary Kiln Incinerator- An incinerator with a rotating combustion chamber that keeps waste moving, thereby allowing it to vaporize for easier burning.

Trial Burn- An incinerator test in which emissions are monitored for the presence of specific organic compounds, particulates, and hydrogen chloride.

An incinerator with a rotating combustion chamber. The rotation helps mix the wastes and promotes more complete burning. They can accept gases, liquids, sludges, tars and solids, either separately or together, in bulk or in containers.

"Point" sources of chemicals include industrial discharges, waste incinerators, sewage treatment plants, and solid waste disposal sites.

Add-On Control Device: An air pollution control device such as carbon absorber or incinerator that reduces the pollution in exhaust gas.

An air pollution control device such as carbon absorber or incinerator that reduces the pollution in an exhaust gas.

A percentage that represents the number of molecules of a compound removed or destroyed in an incinerator relative to the number of molecules entering the system (e.g., a DRE of 99.

Analysts estimate that American consumers buy about a billion compact discs (CDs) every year, most which eventually end up in landfills or incinerators.

Disposal Facility
A landfill, incinerator, or other facility which receives waste for disposal. The facility may have one or many disposal methods available for use. Does not include wastewater treatment. ...

FLY ASH A fine residue, left after trash is burned in an incinerator, which can be carried in the air. It can contain harmful or toxic substances such as dioxins, lead and mercury.
FR Freon.

Heating device: all furnaces, unit heaters, domestic incinerators, cooking and heating stoves and ranges, and other similar devices.

Fly Ash - The fine ash waste collected from flue gases from coal burning power plants, smelters, and waste incinerators. Fly ash can be used as a cement substitute in concrete, thereby reducing embodied energy of the concrete.

Vehicles with internal combustion engines.
Devices powered by two-stroke engines.
Stoves and incinerators, especially ones that are coal or wood-fired.
Farmers burning their crop waste.
Wood fires, which usually burn inefficiently.

Source of contamination
The place where a hazardous substance comes from, such as a landfill, waste pond, incinerator, storage tank, or drum. A source of contamination is the first part of an exposure pathway.

It nearly always means energy recovery, for which the material is used as a fuel in some form of incinerator, whether this is a dedicated waste-to-energy plant, a cement kiln or an iron-making furnace.
