Dual-Chamber Starved Air (Or Controlled Air) System: Incinerator Type Description

This document describes different types of incinerator systems and combustion environments. There are two main types of incinerator systems - dual-chamber starved air systems which use two chambers for incomplete and complete combustion, and single chamber excess air systems which use more air than needed in one chamber. Incinerators can also operate continuously by continuously feeding waste, or in batches by loading discrete amounts of waste. Combustion environments can be oxidizing, where oxygen promotes combustion, or reducing, where substances like hydrogen inhibit full oxidation.

Incinerator Type

Description

Dual-Chamber Starved Air (or controlled The primary burn chamber receives less air
air) System

than is needed to achieve full combustion.


Gases from this incomplete combustion then
pass into a second combustion chamber where
sufficient air is injected and complete
combustion is achieved.

Single Chamber Excess Air System

More than a sufficient amount of air (as much


as 50% more than the amount of air needed) is
injected into the single burn chamber to
achieve complete combustion of the waste.

Continuous Feed Incinerator

An incineration process that is in a continuous


burn cycle.

A continuous feed incinerator

operates without interruption throughout the


operating hours of the facility by having waste
continually added to the primary burn
chamber.
Batch Feed Incinerator

An incineration process that is not in a


continuous or mass burning cycle. A batch
feed incinerator is charged with a discrete
quantity or single load of waste at the
beginning of the burn cycle.
