Introduction
Welcome to the world of waste incineration! In this section, we will explore the purpose and benefits of
incineration, as well as its environmental impact. Gain a deeper understanding of how incinerators work and
why they are a crucial part of waste management.
Safety Instructions
1 Protective Gear
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with the
incinerator, including gloves, goggles, and a respirator.
2 Fire Prevention
Follow strict fire safety protocols to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of
personnel and property.
3 Proper Ventilation
Ensure proper ventilation in the incinerator area to minimize the risk of exposure to
harmful gases.
Operating Procedures
Preparation
Inspect the incinerator for any
damages or malfunctions.
Ensure that the waste to be
incinerated is properly sorted
and prepared.
Ignition
Follow the step-by-step
guidelines for igniting the
incinerator and achieving the
required temperature for
efficient combustion.
Monitoring
Regularly monitor key
parameters such as
temperature, pressure, and
emission levels to maintain
optimal performance.
Maintenance and Inspection
Routine Checks Cleaning and Lubrication
Perform regular inspections of the incinerator, Clean and lubricate the necessary components
including the burners, flue gas system, and ash of the incinerator to ensure smooth operation.
removal system.
Repairs and Replacements Training and Documentation
If any part of the incinerator is damaged or worn Keep detailed records of maintenance activities
out, promptly repair or replace it to avoid further and provide proper training to personnel involved
complications. in maintenance tasks.
Troubleshooting and Problem Solving
High Temperature Fluctuations
Investigate possible causes such as fuel quality,
blockages, or improper combustion air supply.
Adjust settings accordingly.
Ash Build-up
Determine the reasons for ash build-up and
implement proper cleaning procedures to
prevent any damage to the incinerator system.
Excessive Smoke Emission
Identify factors like incorrect waste loading,
reduced draft, or incomplete combustion. Take
corrective actions to reduce smoke emission.
Power Interruptions
Develop backup power systems to avoid
interruptions and ensure continuous operation
of the incinerator.
