ABSTRACT
A major contributing factor to the continuation of the acceptance in Europe was the practice prevalent there of incorporating energy recovery into the incineration process. Key features of an incineration facility are the tipping area, the storage pit; the equipment for charging the incinerator, the combustion chamber, the stack emission cleaning equipment, and the boiler and if energy is to be recovered. The overall incineration system is essentially the same as that of a "conventional" refractory-lined furance. The design of the waterwall incinerator is such that combustion efficiency is promoted and energy recovery is facilitated. The design of a modern incineration facility has become a very complex undertaking and can pose a number of problems. In particular, there are three potential problems that must be given special attention. These are system availability; fouling of heat transfer surfaces; and corrosion. Corrosion caused by a reducing environment usually takes place in mass burning facilities.
