Turning waste into wattage
How we are helping to meet the growing demand for waste energy recovery It’s a sign of the times that more and more companies and organisations are now looking at ways to capitalise on the waste material their production process produces rather than having to pay a third part to take it away for them. One reason of course is the high cost of scrappage. Another is the reduced availability ...

Why Incinerate?
Products that we all use every day have a finite lifespan. Even with initiatives to re-use and recycle lots of waste still ends up in landfill sites where the chemicals in these products will decompose and can do extensive environmental harm as they break down. Plastics are not all biodegradable and there are still millions of plastic bags being manufactured, used and ending up in landfill so the ...

Could incinerating the plastic mountain be an answer?
Energy from waste has its appeal China’s decision to ban its recycling operations for foreign plastics has suddenly caused a massive problem for the UK government. Up until recently, Britain has been shipping up to 500,000 tonnes of plastic for recycling in China every year, which is about 25% of our total plastics waste. Now that trade has ceased and already the problem is piling up ...

A growing problem for the world’s well being
On the face of it, organic waste is not a major problem. After all, the definition of organic waste is ‘materials that originated from living organisms’. In other words, biodegradable materials that come from either a plant or an animal. The fact is, however, that the rapidly expanding levels of organic waste are now the cause of worrying forecasts and it is why more and more ...

Incineration
Introduction: High temperatures, 870 to 1,200 °C (1,400 to 2,200 °F), are used to volatilize and combust (in the presence of oxygen) halogenated and other refractory organics in hazardous wastes. Often auxiliary fuels are employed to initiate and sustain combustion. The destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) for properly operated incinerators exceeds the 99.99% requirement for hazardous waste ...

Why ‘custom-built’ is often cheaper than off the shelf
We know that we’ve said it before, but even though we list what we call our ‘standard range’, by far and away most of the incinerators and cremators we manufacture are specially designed and manufactured to match the individual needs of each customer. Since everyone’s requirements are different, virtually every unit we produce is ‘made to order’ and the point ...

Thermal recycling of spent grains – residue becomes resources
Introduction – the History of Beer The origin of beer was a happy coincidence: In the fourth millennium BC, the Sumarians discovered the fermentation process. The country of the Sumarians, called Mesopotamia, was located between the Euphrates and the Tigris. The Sumarians wanted to help an ill person swallow some bread, so and they soaked a piece in water. They simply forgot the bread in ...
