Incineration is a process that uses high temperature thermal oxidation to convert organic or inorganic waste to a less bulky, innocuous, inorganic material. ... This process greatly reduces the volume of waste involved, and in some cases, the toxicity of the waste involved, thus rendering the waste non-hazardous. Incineration can manage all types of hazardous wastes except radioactive materials and also offers the added benefit of converting a waste into energy.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) considers incineration the best-demonstrated available technology for managing and destroying organic hazardous wastes. According to the USEPA, incineration will provide a destruction removal efficiency of at least 99. ...
The most common incineration technologies applicable to hazardous wastes include:
• Liquid Injection;
• Rotary Kiln;
• Multiple Hearth; and
• Fluidized Bed. ... Liquid injection can be used to destroy virtually any pumpable waste or gas. ... This system can be used for the disposal of all forms of combustible industrial waste materials including sludges, tars, solids, liquids and gases. ... The process consists of a waste being injected into an agitated bed of heated inert particles. ... The most typical types of wastes being treated in fluidized beds are slurries and sludges, and are usually used for the disposal of municipal wastewater treatment plant sludges, oil refinery waste and pulp and paper mill waste
ADVANTAGES:
As landfill disposal options continue to diminish and permit hazardous waste facilities to become increasingly more difficult and expensive, companies are turning to incineration as an alternative treatment method for hazardous waste disposal.
