wastes with high caloric value that are capable of releasing great heat content are most appropriate for this kind of operation. The other types of incinerators are described as follows.
Multiple hearth incinerators consist of vertically shaped hearths, and are Primarily used for sewage sludge. They are operated from 1400-1800 ° F ( 750 - 1000 ° C ). Catalytic combustion, waste-gas flare and direct flame incinerators are all for gases. Catalytic combustors use a catalyst and are designed for low organic concentration wastes. Waste-gas flares are used for non-hazardous waste that has high organic content. Direct flame incinerators operate from 1000-1500 f and are used when waste gas contains particles.
