The Incineration Process

                                    

  Refuse vehicles are weighed at the weighbridge to compute their disposal fees before they are discharged into the refuse bunker. The refuse in the bunker is then fed into the incinerator furnaces by means of grab-cranes.

            Refuse combustion is an exothermic process and it can be sustained without the need of auxiliary fuel. Each incinerator furnace consists of six cylindrical roller grate strokers. The combustion air for the incineration process is drawn from the refuse bunker and is heated by steam before being introduced into the furnace through the underside of the roller grates.

            The air from the furnace is transported to the ash pit via vibration conveyers. Ferrous metals are picked up from the ash by overhead elelctro-magnetic seperators and sold as scrap metal.

            The heat from the hot flue gases produced in the combustion  process is recovered by a boiler system that generate steam. Superheated steam from the boiler is expanded through a backpressure turbine which drives a generator that produce elelctricity.

Part of the electricity method generated is used to operate the Plant and the surplus is sold.

            The flue gases leaving the boiler are filtered by electrostatic precipitators and flue through a flue gas cleaning unit before they are discharged to the atmosphere through the chimney.
