Detailed explanation-1: -Incineration involves burning waste at high temperatures ranging between 750°C and 1100°C in the presence of oxygen to reduce the weight and volume of the waste and produce heat and energy [18]. This method is capable of reducing waste mass by almost 70% and volume by up to 90% [19].

Detailed explanation-2: -Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of substances contained in waste materials. Industrial plants for waste incineration are commonly referred to as waste-to-energy facilities. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as “thermal treatment".

Detailed explanation-3: -High Temperature Incineration minimises that environmental impacts of disposing of your waste as it diverts waste from landfill, and the heat that is generated during the incineration process is used to power a steam turbine which generates electricity.

Detailed explanation-4: -The resulting flue gases from the furnaces are transported further for energy recovery in the form of steam. Combustion plants produce steam from hot flue gases emitted from the furnace at a temperature of 850°C.

Detailed explanation-5: -b. Temperature: Most incinerators operate at higher temperatures than the ignition temperature, which is a minimum temperature. Thermal destruction of most organic compounds occurs between 590/C and 650/C (1100/F and 1200/F).
