Incineration is the thermal destruction
of hazardous and non-hazardous waste. After incineration,
ash and other hazardous waste residues are disposed in secure
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) landfills. Two
common types of incineration are liquid injection incineration
and rotary kiln incineration.
Liquid injection incinerators produce extremely
high temperature (approximately 1,900ºF), making them an effective
treatment for wastes containing chlorinated hydrocarbons and
sulfur compounds. In this incineration process, waste that
can be pumped is sprayed into the combustion chamber

 Rotary
kiln incineration is a versatile and widely used technology
capable of burning a broad range of solids, sludges, and liquids.
In this incineration process, rotation promotes complete combustion
by continually mixing the burning waste with air. |
