One of the most significant advantages of waste-to-energy incineration plants is the generation of cleaner and more sustainable energy. Traditional waste disposal methods, such as landfilling, contribute to the release of greenhouse gases and air pollution, which can harm the environment and human health.

​​

In contrast, waste-to-energy incineration plants utilise advanced technologies to convert waste into energy. The process involves controlled combustion of waste materials, such as municipal solid, industrial, or agricultural waste, in specially designed chambers. This combustion process not only reduces the volume of waste but also harnesses the energy released during the process.

​​

By converting waste into energy, these incineration plants offer a cleaner alternative to traditional forms of energy generation. The combustion process is carried out under strict environmental regulations and utilises sophisticated air pollution control systems. These systems capture and treat harmful emissions, such as particulate matter, heavy metals, and dioxins, before they are released into the atmosphere.

Surefire Rotary Incinerator

The rotary combustion chamber is constructed as a cylindrical refractory lined drum, inclined towards the de-ashing end.

​

Externally attached to the drum is a heavy steel tyre equipped with a geared motor. To ensure an optimal speed of waste movement through the incinerator, the control system controls the drive to ensure a rotational speed of between 2 and 10 revolutions per hour.

 

This tumbling action is the technique that promotes the intimate mixing of waste with the combustion conditions, extending waste storage within the drum, optimal combustion, and high-quality ash.

 

Rotaries are typically selected because of their high agitation rate for less combustible waste, such as high moisture, sludges, and pastes. They are also selected when efficient burnout is required. Munitions could be an example of this.
