Abstract
Description
The problem of waste incineration has become more and more important lately. Protecting the environment, increasing the amount of waste produced by both industrial and household consumers has led to the implementation of precise directives as well as increased investment to improve this process.
Waste incineration is a thermal process of waste disposal by oxidation at very high temperatures. In the next period, waste producers will be required to deploy and implement solutions in order to be able to safely incinerate the waste for the local population.
Due to growing concern, the incineration benefits have also increased in this segment: environmental pollution is very low due to combustion gases treatment; reducing the volume of waste stored; complete neutralization of waste; after combustion, thermal energy can be used for various purposes; reducing transport costs with the location of an incinerator close to the one that produces them.
An advanced incinerator technology allows the burning of all types of waste. With a growing population and growing consumption, the issue of waste management will become increasingly important and will be a real challenge to have a healthy and clean environment.
