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.
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.
Ash produced during combustion in mass burn facilities or municipal solid waste incinerators. The handling of residue ash has attracted some controversy.
Performance Data (For Incinerators): Information collected, during a trial burn, on concentrations of designated organic compounds and pollutants found in incinerator emissions.
Small solid or liquid particles, especially those in the emission gases of incinerators, boilers, industrial furnaces or in exhaust from diesel and gasoline engines.
"Point" sources of chemicals include industrial discharges, waste incinerators, sewage treatment plants, and solid waste disposal sites.
Analysts estimate that American consumers buy about a billion compact discs (CDs) every year, most which eventually end up in landfills or incinerators.
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.
A control device that oxidizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by using a catalyst to promote the combustion process. Catalytic incinerators require lower temperatures than conventional thermal incinerators, thus saving fuel and other costs.

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.
(1) Regulatory requirements limiting the concentrations of designated organic compounds, particulate matter, and hydrogen chloride in emissions from incinerators.
Open Burning - the uncontrolled burning of waste materials in the open, in outdoor incinerators, or in an open dump, either intentionally or accidentally.
Energy Recovery
To capture energy from waste through any of a variety of processes (e.g., burning). Many new technology incinerators are waste-to-energy recovery units. ...
Refractory: material able to withstand dramatic heat variations which may be used to construct conventional combustion chambers in incinerators.
