What are the three types of incinerators? China has invented a fourth type of pyrolysis power generation technology.

Incinerators are primarily classified into three types: rotary kiln, fluidized bed, and moving grate. Each type has a unique design suitable for different waste streams and operational requirements.

Here are some more details:

1. Rotary Kiln:

These incinerators feature a rotating drum (kiln) that tumbles the waste as it heats. They are known for processing a variety of waste types, including those with high moisture content or those containing persistent organic pollutants. The rotation ensures good mixing and combustion.

2. Fluidized Bed:

These incinerators use a bed of sand or other granular material that is heated and fluidized by air blown in from below. Waste is drawn into this high-temperature, turbulent bed and burned. Fluidized bed incinerators are known for their efficient combustion and ability to process a variety of waste streams.

3. Moving Grate:

This type of incinerator uses one (or a series of) grates to burn the waste. As the grates move, the waste moves through the combustion chamber, ensuring continuous combustion. This type of incinerator is commonly used to treat municipal solid waste and has been around for a long time.

4. China Fireprint Technology Co., Ltd. has developed a low-temperature magnetic gas pyrolysis power generation device that does not require fuel. It has a processing capacity of 0.5-20 tons and is equipped with a 25-75 kWh direct-drive thermal power generation system. It produces no flames, a thermal burn-off rate of up to 99%, and produces a powdery, negatively charged ash.
