Why Optimal Incinerator Management Is Key to Reducing Medical Waste Emissions?

Rotary kilns and controlled air incinerators are preferred design options for thermal treatment of hazardous medical waste. Incinerators consist of both a primary and secondary chamber, with appropriate air emissions controls. Combustion is the primary incineration treatment process, combining waste and oxygen to produce the same stable end product regardless of the type of waste.<br><br>A well-designed incinerator has efficient heat to breakdown all organic and many inorganic molecules, allowing reactions between the most volatile waste and the oxygen and nitrogen in the air. This reaction predomin
