Combustors
Storage pit – for storing and sorting incoming refuse
Crane – for charging the combustion box
Combustion chamber consisting of bottom grates on which combustion occurs
Grates on which refuse moves
Heat recovery system of pipes in which water is turned to steam
Ash handling systems
Air pollution control systems
Grates – Provide turbulence so that the MSW can be thoroughly burned, moves the refuse down, provides underfire air to the refuse through openings in it (to assist in combustion as well as to cool the grates)
Operating temperature of combustors ~ 980 to 1090 degree C
