Waste thermal treatment by incineration, co-incineration, gasification or pyrolysis aims at recovering the waste, mainly in the form of energy. In addition, it also serves to disposal of waste, in particular hazardous one, including medical and veterinary waste. Thermal treatment of waste should be carried out in specially adapted installations that meet the BAT requirements. The article discusses installations operating in Poland designed for thermal treatment of municipal solid waste, sewage sludge as well as hazardous waste, including medical and veterinary waste.

“…Therefore, several countries have tried to apply some traditional methods together with novel research to invent new methods to use wastes efficiently [2]. In the available literature, the prior usage of the incinerators to the modern techniques with their current definition was first reported for the Czech Republic and the UK [4,5]. After that, recent instruments and advances in combustion techniques helped researchers and many other countries to be sure to make huge investments on this topic.…”

Numerical Investigation of a Portable Incinerator: A Parametric Study

The application of incinerators for the municipal solid waste (MSW) is growing due to the ability of such instruments to produce energy and, more specifically, reduce waste volume. In this paper, a numerical simulation of the combustion process with the help of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) inside a portable (mobile) incinerator has been proposed. Such work is done to investigate the most critical parameters for a reliable design of a domestic portable incinerator, which is suitable for the Iranian food and waste culture. An old design of a simple incinerator has been used to apply the natural gas (NG), one of the available cheap fossil fuels in Iran. After that, the waste height, place of the primary burner, and the flow rate of the cooling air inside the incinerator, as the main parameters of the design, are investigated. A validation is also performed for the mesh quality test and the occurrence of the chemical reactions near the burner of the incinerator. Results proved that the numerical results have less than 5% error compared to the previous experimental and numerical approaches. In addition, results show that by moving the primary burner into the secondary chamber of the incinerator, the temperature and the heating ability of the incinerator could be affected dramatically. Moreover, it has been found that by increasing the flow rate of the cooling air inside the incinerator to some extent, the combustion process is improved and, on the other hand, by introducing more cooling air, the evacuation of the hazardous gases from the exhaust is also improved.
