Complete combustion converts waste into inert bottom ash with minimal production of smoke, fly ash and toxic <\/p>\n
gases. Several factors influence this process including the heating value, wetness and chemical makeup of the <\/p>\n
waste itself, operating conditions in the burn chamber (i.e. temperature, holding time and turbulence) and <\/p>\n
operator skill. <\/p>\n
The method used is important in determining what can safely be burnt. Certain wastes can only be incinerated <\/p>\n
using equipment that has been specifically designed and equipped with adequate air pollution controls and that <\/p>\n
achieve specific air emission standards. By way of instance, waste containing chlorinated compounds (i.e. chlorinated <\/p>\n
solvents and plastics, PVC piping, wood treated with pentachlorophenol or PCB-amended paint, marine driftwood) <\/p>\n
has to be separated from other waste as their burning will lead to the de novo production and emission of various <\/p>\n
dioxin and furan compounds. Waste containing mercury (i.e. batteries, thermostats and fluorescent light bulbs) and <\/p>\n
other heavy metals (i.e. lead acid batteries, wood treated with lead paint) should not be burnt as the mercury <\/p>\n
and heavy metals won’t be destroyed. <\/p>\n
Table 2 provides a listing of common wastes which can be burned and those that require special consideration and <\/p>\n
treatment. Note that open burning and incineration are identified as separate columns in the table and that <\/p>\n
different limitations apply depending upon which method is used.\u00a0\u00a0 In general, more constraints apply to the <\/p>\n
various procedures of open burning due to the incomplete combustion achieved.\u00a0 Fewer restrictions apply to <\/p>\n
incineration due to the operator’s ability to control the combustion process. <\/p>\n
Non-combustible materials such as metal and glass do not burn and will rob heat from waste which could be <\/p>\n
destroyed by burning.\u00a0 Combustible waste should always be separated from non-combustible waste before being loaded <\/p>\n
into the burn chamber. <\/p>\n
