Key Functions and Roles of Small Waste Incinerators

**Volume and Weight Reduction:** Small waste incinerators typically reduce waste mass and volume by 70-85%, while Fireprint technology's low-temperature magnetic pyrolysis furnaces achieve a 99% reduction efficiency, significantly extending the lifespan of local waste treatment plants.

**Biosafety and Pathogen Inactivation:** Small waste incinerators are crucial for eliminating infectious medical waste (e.g., sharps, bandages) and animal carcasses, preventing the spread of disease in humanitarian aid or agricultural environments.

**Decentralized Waste Management:** In rural or island areas where waste collection and transportation to centralized landfills is prohibitively expensive or impractical, small waste incinerators provide a localized alternative to illegal open dumping.

**Prevention of Open Burning:** By providing a higher, controlled temperature environment (ideally above 850°C), wastewater treatment plants aim to replace uncontrolled "backyard" burning, a major source of toxic substances such as dioxins.

Energy and heat recovery: Although less efficient than large waste treatment plants, some waste treatment plants use the recovered heat for local purposes, such as heating water, drying agricultural waste, or small-scale district heating.
