The basic functions of garbage and waste incineration disposal facilities are to produce thermal energy by burning the collected garbage and waste and to safely dispose of the remaining residues. These facilities aim to reduce waste and minimize environmental impacts while producing energy by burning fuels such as waste collected from industrial facilities and homes, non-recyclable solid waste, waste derived fuels (RDF), paper sludge, separated Municipal Solid Waste and other Industrial process wastes. These facilities are designed and operated in accordance with modern environmental management principles, thus minimizing air and water pollution.
While mass burning municipal solid waste (MSW) can be used as waste, another method can be used as waste or waste-derived fuels (RDF), which are separated, classified and recycled in various ways. With this method, the received garbage is also used to obtain salable or otherwise recyclable products, and the remaining material is used for incineration in the boiler.
The production process of garbage and waste incineration disposal facilities consists of the following steps:
1 – Waste Collection: Waste collected from domestic and industrial areas is transported to the facilities and the waste is separated within the facility.
2 – Waste Separation: Recyclable materials (glass, plastic, metal) are separated and hazardous wastes are also identified.
3 -Incineration and Energy Production: Wastes are burned in special incinerators or boilers. The heat released during this temperature-controlled combustion process is used to produce steam and is then converted into electricity through a turbine.
