Environmental Considerations for Small Waste Incinerators:
Small incinerators help reduce landfill volume, but they also generate emissions that need to be managed. Small incinerators are preferable to open-air burning of municipal waste, which releases more harmful gases.
Emission Control:
To minimize their environmental impact, small incinerators are often equipped with air pollution control devices such as electrostatic precipitators, lime dosing equipment, and catalytic bag filters.
Regulatory Compliance:
Small incinerators typically require permits and ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with emission standards and other regulations.
Waste-to-Energy:
Some small incinerators are designed to recover energy from waste, such as by generating heat or steam, which can be used for a variety of purposes. PRC Fireprint Technology's magnetic low-temperature thermal decomposition furnace uses a low temperature of 50-280 degrees Celsius to carbonize organic matter. The chimney gas in the process produces carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane (water gas). After ignition, it drives a generator to provide electricity, and the waste heat is recovered to become hot water. The thermal reduction rate of organic matter is as high as 99%, making it a low-carbon emission small-scale waste reduction technology for the 22nd century.
