An on-site method of untreated sludge disposal where the materials are destroyed.
The burning of a material so that only ashes remain. Incineration may be used to burn garbage, trash or other refuse (typically in a large furnace) as means of reducing waste mass and volume.
to burn waste materials often at high temperatures.
The burning of trash and garbage at high temperatures in a large furnace.
the burning of household or industrial waste in a combustion chamber
The controlled combustion of materials at high temperatures. Chemical oxidation at high temperatures where organic material is converted into heat, energy, flue gas and slag.
The controlled burning of municipal solid waste to reduce volume and, in some cases, to recover energy.
to cause to burn to ashes Testing for Water Quality
the act of burning something completely; reducing it to ashes
A waste disposal process by which combustible wastes are burned and changed into gases.
see combustion/incineration.
The process of burning wastes under controlled conditions.
The process of reducing the volume of a material by burning and reducing to ash if possible.
A treatment technology used to destroy waste by controlled burning at high temperatures.
A treatment technology involving controlled burning of solid waste at high temperatures
The destruction of solid, liquid, or gaseous wastes by controlled burning at high temperatures. Hazardous organic compounds are converted to ash, carbon dioxide, and water. Burning destroys organics, reduces the volume of waste, and vaporizes water and other liquids the wastes may contain. The residue ash produced may contain some hazardous material, such as non-combustible heavy metals, concentrated from the original waste.
The controlled burning of waste to reduce its volume or toxicity. Often energy can be recovered from wastes burnt in this manner.
the burning of waste in a special facility.
The burning of waste at high temperatures in the presence of enough oxygen to achieve complete combustion, either to reduce its volume or its harmfulness. Municipal Solid Waste incinerators recover heat and/or power. The main emissions are carbon dioxide, water and ash residues.
Incineration is the process of destroying waste through burning.
the destruction of records by burning
A treatment technology that involves the burning of certain types of solid, liquid, or gaseous materials under controlled conditions to destroy hazardous waste. See technology description of Incineration.
A method of sludge treatment involving burning of the solid portion of the waste.
Disposal of waste materials through controlled burning.
A method of treating solid, liquid, or gaseous wastes by burning.
the process of burning trash at very high temperatures, producing heat, electricity and toxic ash.
controlled burning of rubbish to make it smaller, kill germs or to get rid of harmful chemicals. See also energy from waste
The burning of waste at high temperatures in the presence of sufficient air to achieve complete combustion, either to reduce its volume or its toxicity.
Waste disposal method utilising high-temperature combustion processes.
The controlled burning of waste. Energy may also be recovered in the form of heat (see Energy from Waste).
Incineration is getting rid of waste by burning it at high temperatures. Around 9% of UK waste is incinerated
Burning waste using air or open flame combustion to reduce its volume and destroy hazardous components.
the controlled burning of municipal, clinical and chemical waste material and sewage sludge, commonly in two stages, to produce minimum amounts of gas and ash
A treatment technology involving destruction of waste by controlled burning at high temperatures; e.g., burning sludge to remove the water and reduce the remaining residues to a safe, non-burnable ash that can be disposed of safely on land, in some waters, or in underground locations.
The process of reducing refuse material to ash.
process of high-temperature combustion (between 850°C and 1200°C) in the presence of oxygen. Incineration is utilized to destroy waste and the hazardous constituents thereof.
The process of burning solid waste under controlled conditions to reduce its weight and volume, and often to produce energy.
