Working principle of sludge incinerator

The working principle of sludge incinerator: batch feeder puts the sludge of intermittent feeding door into the converter and opens the combustion by automatic temperature control. According to the principle of combustion three t (temperature, time and swirl), the combustion chamber is completely oxidized, pyrolyzed and burned in the combustion chamber of the furnace. The flue gas after burning ...

Calciner firing of refuse derived fuels

Alternative or refuse derived fuels (RDF) are mainly fired in kiln burners, preheater or calciner kilns. Of the greatest importance in this regard is homogenous fuel quality consisting of two-dimensional parts. Alternative fuel for the kiln burner has to be free of disruptive fractions (e.g. metals, stones, glass), which might cause problems in the feeding equipment or the burner itself. ...

Nanoparticles present in residues of waste incineration plant

The use of nanomaterials in consumer goods is growing, as is their presence in waste. A new study is the first to follow the fate of engineered nanoparticles through the entire waste incineration chain. The results indicate current filter technology is effective in removing nanoparticles from flue gas, but that nanoparticles also bind to residues, such as fly ash and slag, which eventually end up ...

Process system of sludge incinerator

Sludge incinerator is a common sludge disposal method, which can destroy all organic matter, kill all pathogens, and minimize the volume of sludge. The sludge with a relative water content of about 75% is only 10% of the original volume. When the burning calorific value of the sludge is high, the demand for urban sanitation is higher, or the content of toxic substances in the sludge is high. ...
