Thermal waste treatment refers to the processes that use heat to treat waste materials. Thermal methods for waste management aim at the reduction of the waste volume, the conversion of waste into harmless materials and the utilization of the energy that is hidden within waste as heat, steam, electrical energy or combustible material. They include all processes converting the waste content into gas, liquid and solid products with simultaneous or consequent release of thermal energy. Thermal methods for solid waste management include: Gasification, Pyrolysis, Plasma and Incineration. This Technology Zones offers an insight into the latest innovations in thermal waste processing technology.
We’ve put together a helpful list of typical terms that are commonly used in waste disposal. They are each important to an effective incineration process. Calorific Value of waste Any type of substance that contains energy has a calorific value. Waste can be burned, because the incineration process harnesses that energy stored within it. Calorific […]
Read moreWhilst being producers of some of the world’s most expensive materials, waste management has rarely been a concern of the mining sector until recent years, with many companies opting to either export waste off-site or burn out in the open.

In the United Kingdom it is becoming increasingly expensive to dispose of non-hazardous waste, the cost of landfill has been rising and the figures are showing no signs of slowing down, the same of which can be said for RDF A.K.A. Refuse Derived Fuel. RDF starts off its life as municipal waste which is then cleaned and processed to remove metals, recyclables, non-flammable materials to leave mostly plastics, paper, cardboard and wood.
Read moreAt Inciner8, we’re constantly striving for new, innovative solutions to support waste disposal. Waste To Energy is one of those areas where we are leading the way. We’re in the final stages of our first UK waste to energy plant, providing a new, efficient method of processing and disposal for a traditional waste collection company in Southport. And we wanted to show you how your business might benefit too. Could waste to energy incineration be the solution you need?
Read moreSince China refused last month to accept any more foreign waste for recycling, the UK is facing a challenge. How can it recycle more of its own waste? And should it bury or burn the low-grade waste that it can’t recycle? We’re trying to answer the second question. And it certainly divides opinions. So what are the facts about plastic waste?
Read moreLandfill is both ugly and polluting. But a new breed of technology promises to make it a thing of the past, transforming a huge portion of landfill material into clean gas. It’s thanks to a process called gasification, which involves turning carbon-based materials into gas by heating them to a high temperature but without burning them. The gas can be stored until it is needed for the generation of electricity.

Since then, the trend towards the food contact grade direct processing of PET products has continued to grow. More and more customers are enhancing their existing extrusion plant by adding the attribute of food contact compliance.
Read moreVulcan® Systems, the leading provider of indirect rotary thermal desorption systems, is excited to announce the completion of a large scale thermal desorber and off gas treatment system. This unit was specifically designed to be modular for quick setup and to process a variety of feedstocks including drill cuttings, tank bottoms, and spent catalyst generated by petrochemical refineries.

Read moreMOBERLY, MO – Coal-fired power plants emit 772 million pounds of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere every year—more than 2.5 pounds for every person in the United States. As a result, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other organizations around the globe have tightened regulations on emissions of hazardous chemicals, such as mercury.
