What are some common sense things to know about waste incinerators?

A garbage incinerator is a device used to treat solid waste by burning it at high temperatures to convert it into heat and ash. Here's some general knowledge about waste incinerators:

1. Principle of operation: waste incinerators use high-temperature combustion to completely oxidize and decompose garbage, generating heat energy. After the garbage is put into the incinerator, it goes through pre-treatment, combustion and ash treatment.

2. Environmental protection measures: Modern waste incinerators have adopted a number of environmental protection measures, such as flue gas purification systems, which can effectively remove pollutants generated by combustion. These measures ensure that the exhaust emissions meet environmental standards.

3. Thermal energy recovery: Waste incinerators generate high-temperature thermal energy by burning waste, which can be used to generate electricity or heat. This energy recovery makes the waste incinerator have the function of energy utilization to a certain extent.

4. Waste residue treatment: After burning the garbage, ash and other waste residue will be produced. These waste residues need to be treated, e.g., by sinking, incinerating or landfilling, to ensure that the impact on the environment is minimized.

5. Safety: Waste incinerator operations involve high temperatures and toxic gases, so safety measures are very important. Employees need to receive relevant training and take appropriate protective measures to ensure personal and environmental safety.

6. Promoting segregation: While incinerators can be effective in treating waste, segregating waste and reducing waste production is still a more sustainable solution. Separate recycling increases resource efficiency and reduces reliance on incinerators.

Please note that the above information provides a general overview of waste incinerators, which may vary by country, region and type of equipment. If you require more detailed information, it is recommended that you consult a professional organization or local incinerator operator.
