Waste Incinerators
A waste incinerator destroys combustible waste through controlled high-temperature combustion, reducing its volume to ash and eliminating pathogens. Incinerators are used by hospitals and clinics, municipalities, industrial sites, remote camps, veterinary facilities and pet crematoriums.

How it works
How waste incinerators work
Waste is loaded into the primary combustion chamber, where burners ignite it and it burns or gasifies under controlled air supply. The gases released then pass to a secondary chamber, where additional air and an auxiliary burner raise the temperature, typically to at least 850 degrees Celsius, and hold the gases for a defined residence time, commonly around two seconds, to complete combustion. Hazardous medical waste regulations often require higher secondary temperatures. Exhaust gases are cooled and treated in a flue gas cleaning system that may include a quench, scrubber, dry sorbent injection and filters. Ash is removed from the primary chamber for disposal.
Selection guide
How to choose the right model
- 01
Waste type and composition
Medical, municipal, industrial and animal waste differ in moisture, calorific value and hazards. The waste profile determines chamber design and burner capacity.
- 02
Capacity and operating cycle
Size the incinerator on the quantity burned per batch or per hour and on daily operating hours, allowing for future growth.
- 03
Emission requirements
Local regulations define temperatures, residence time and emission limits. These determine whether a scrubber, filters or other flue gas treatment is needed.
- 04
Fuel and utilities
Confirm the available auxiliary fuel, such as diesel or natural gas, along with power supply and water for any wet scrubber.
- 05
Loading and ash handling
Consider manual or mechanical loading, chamber door size and how ash will be removed and disposed of safely.

FAQ
Waste Incinerators: FAQ
Why do incinerators have two combustion chambers?
The primary chamber burns the solid waste, while the secondary chamber burns the resulting gases at high temperature with sufficient residence time. This two-stage design reduces smoke, odor and harmful emissions.
What temperature does a waste incinerator operate at?
The secondary chamber typically operates at 850 degrees Celsius or higher, with higher temperatures often required for hazardous medical waste. Exact requirements depend on local regulations.
Does an incinerator need flue gas treatment?
Most regulated applications require some form of flue gas treatment to control acid gases, particulates and other pollutants. The required level depends on the waste type and local emission limits.
Can one incinerator handle both medical and general waste?
Some units can, provided the design meets the stricter requirements for medical waste. Always confirm with local regulations, which may require dedicated equipment.
