Advantages of Incinerators

01. Significant Reduction of Waste Volume and Weight
Incineration is an efficient way to reduce the waste volume and demand for landfill space. One of the most attractive features of the incineration process is that it can be used to reduce the original volume of combustibles. Incinerators reduce waste volume by approximately 95 percent and reduce the solid mass of the original waste by 80 percent to 85 percent. Therefore, the incineration does not eliminate the need for dumping ground completely but it certainly reduces the amount of land needed for the disposal.


02. Capability to Establish The Facility at Close Proximity to The Waste Generation Places
Incineration plants can be located close to the center of gravity of waste generation, thus reducing the cost of waste transportation. Long distance hauling of waste is both costly and environmentally unsound practice due to possible contamination with CO2 and NOx s and fuel expenditure while transportation. Therefore, waste incineration plants should be located as close as possible to the center of gravity of the area which receiving the waste to the plant. This is even more imperative since it facilitates to manipulate the vehicles and crew allocated for the waste collection efficiently.


03. Reduced the Need for Transportation
The on site placement of the facility reduces the need for the long distance transport of the waste materials and hence reduces the traffic jams and fuel costs. Also it contributes to the reduction of the CO2 emission and thereby green house gas emission. Reduction of transportation also reduces the on road idling time of the vehicles and minimizes the problems created by dust, noises and sound give off by the vehicles.


04. Air Pollution
Incineration provides the best way to eliminate methane gas emissions from waste management processes. The complete thermal destruction of the waste materials eliminates air pollution and odor. The open burning and land filling, as the common alternatives used in developing countries like ours, together with transportation, release polluting substances like dust and odorous gasses and particulate matter. This could be overcome by establishing an incinerator which reduces transportation, storage and instant treatment of the waste material. Moreover, energy from waste projects can be used a substitute for fossil fuel combustion. These are two ways incineration helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.


05. Disinfect and Sterilize the Waste and Residue Before Disposal
Clinical waste treatment technologies all seek to disinfect or sterilize the waste, and put the remaining waste in a landfill. A variety of methods are used to achieve disinfection. Heat of some sort can be used to sterilize and/or reduce the volume of waste. Chemical sterilization has been used in some systems, but presents the problem of completely treating the waste. These technologies also use toxic chemicals, which influence worker safety and environmental hazards. The incineration could perform the both aforementioned treatments without any mal effects. Therefore, it could be used as effective method for the treatment of clinical waste.


06. Possibility to Energy Recovery
The heat energy produced by incineration process could be recovered. Thereby, the fossil fuel burning for the energy production could be reduced through substituting the heat generated by the incinerators.


07. Reduces Pollution
Studies have shown that solid waste incinerators produce less pollution than landfills. The study found that the landfill released higher amounts of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, non methane organic compounds, hazardous air pollutants, nitrogen oxides and dioxin than an incinerator. Landfills further leach dangerous chemical into the underlying groundwater, which can contaminate underground water systems. Therefore, aforementioned drawbacks could be overcome by conducting incineration practices.


08. Flexibility of The Operation
Each and every waste material not needs to destruct in the same temperature and meet same environmental conditions. Most important aspect herewith is to achieve the emission in compliance to the set standards. The incinerators are facilitated to achieve desired conditions required to fit with the materials incinerated. To address aforesaid problems and serve as a precise waste management method LRL introduced a series of incinerators matching with diverse requirements. The LRL incinerators accompanied features to assure complete combustion and eliminate possible unfavorable environmental discharges as follows.

Performance
The performances of the incinerator is superior and meet required standards by operating in the range of 800 Co to 900 Co and 1050 Co to 1200 Co with preferred retention time in the primary and secondary chambers respectively. Apart from that, it emits clear emissions from the stack when properly loaded.

Durability
The durability of the incinerator is higher than any other since it is constructed with standard steel and lining with superior quality refractory materials. It is simple in design and easy to operate with the state of the art technology. Further more it has proven the performance through operating in reputed industries for long time without any complains. Lanka Refractories Limited supports the customers with reliable good quality service and supports can be assured in the events of system defects or failures encountered in operations. Moreover, LRL (Lanka Refractories Limited) provided the user with
• Comprehensive warranties for the system
• The clearly defined terms and conditions for technical support
• Training in installation, operation, and routine service as an integral part of the supply agreement
• Maintenance and repair support for a predetermined amount of time
• Installations with civil works drawings as well as service and operator manuals as part of the supply agreement based on user requirements. Manuals could be provided in the English and national language and will be simple and explicit
