Problem of waste incinerators in developing countries

solid waste

In fact, if not because of medical waste, we can state categorically that the incineration of waste, the disposal of developing countries, particularly Nigeria. The reasons are obvious, requires great skill and combustion technology. The types of incinerators are very common in Nigeria are very different from those found and used in civilized countries.
In the city of Ibadan, for example, has no provision for the treatment of flue gas and combustion, largely with energy recovery. Perhaps one can only find electric drive incinerator at the University Hospital, Ibadan. Apart from the incinerators were not usually built tall chimneys to take care of gaseous emissions.
Although there is no other effective methods to reduce pathogens to health around the world that are not prescribed burning, alternative technologies to incineration in recent years, supported by several environmental stress groups. The reasons are the remains of toxic ash and air emissions are carcinogenic and unpleasant.
In addition, the type of waste that contains more organic products are not built by indigenous incinerators to be addressed to realize low temperature. Incineration is a process of high temperature oxidation drought, which reduces the organic and inorganic wastes fuel, flammable. Then, an incineration plant for kitchen waste is used, and mix the sludge with a low calorific value is very small. However, none of the incinerators manufactured locally really do this because of a lower temperature (usually less than 10000C). Worse, the clogged built, most of them without the supply of fuel and burned in the rule to cases or partially burned.
Finally, through technology, sophisticated and highly qualified, high interest, and the burning of normal, and also because of the threat it a threat to the environment and health through the usual procedure in some developing countries, including Nigeria, can the incinerators local manufacturing stage in these countries are now proposing.
