New page

=Basics=
*This page aims to look at the application of [[Waste Incineration]] in the context of a scale similar to [[Burn Barrels]] BUT with thought taken to various potential forms of pollution, and ways to prevent/alleviate this.

=Reasons for Doing So=
*Disposal of Non-Recyclable Materials (In Areas where Large Scale Processes aren't used for this, just Landfilling) Such As:
**[[Thermosets]]
**Foams like [[Expanded Polystyrene]] etc
**Hard to shred films (Although [[Plastic Film Recycling]] can be done with the right workflow)
**[[Multilayer Films]] / Mixed [[Packaging Waste]]
*Privacy/Security ( "Burn Bags" )
**So Important Documents, Expired Checks/Debit Cards etc
**Although [[Shredding]] and/or [[Pulping]] are substitutes to an extent, the issue of local accessibility is another potential justification for small scale waste incineration

=Potential Pollution Routes=
==Unburnt Hydrocarbons/Carbon Monoxide/[[DPM]] type soot==
*This is the most straightforward, and the main solution is enough air and heat in the fire
*Granted [[Flame Temperature Emissions Curve]] ranges need to be taken into account (to an extent more heat = more [[NOx]] , less heat means more CO etc)
*Between the small scale+frequency though (compared to [[Mass Motorization]] or Grid Scale powerplants etc) this isn't too major of an issue

==[[Dioxins]]==
*Unlike CO and Hydrocarbons, Dioxins ''still do'' pose an issue as they [[Bioaccumulate]]
*How dioxins form, how to minimize this, and how to potentially scrub them from emissions needs to be investigated
**A [[TLUD]] with [[Charcoal]] above and below the [[RDF]] ''may'' be able to trap the dioxins?

==Heavy Metals / Misc Elemental Pollutants==
*This is largely an issue of pre-sorting the waste
*Undyed Paper and Plastics shouldn't have this issue at all
**Investigating what dyes may contain pollutants that could concentrate in the [[Bottom Ash]] etc is something to look in, especially if [[Ash Utilization]] is planned
*Magnetic Strips from Debit Cards and so on may have odd materials in them, granted 1 card per "batch" done every few months or so isn't too significant, needs to be looked into though

==Fly Ash Bourne Particulate Matter==
*This cannot be "burned up" unlike [[Diesel Particulate Matter]] / [[Soot]] type particulate emissions
*Given scale and frequency shouldn't be TOO huge of an issue, but more dedicated devices could address this with a rudimentary [[ESP]] unit etc
