Thermal Waste Treatment
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.

Hazardous Waste Disposal Methods: More About Them
BARCELONA – We can define hazardous waste as unwanted or unusable materials that are dangerous or potentially harmful to the health of humans and the environment. Hazardous waste can come in various forms (liquid, solid, gas, sludge), and it must be handled very carefully due to its destructive and dangerous nature.

6 Waste Terms and What They Mean
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 […]

Supporting Environmental Improvements for Mining Companies in Africa
Whilst 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.

INCINER8 Provides the Solution for Mounting RDF Problems
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.

Should We Burn or Bury Waste Plastic?
Since 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?

Turning Landfill Into Energy
Landfill 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.
