- 2.5.1 Burn Barrel
2.5 Types of IncineratorsAn incinerator is a furnace for burning waste. Modern incinerators include pollution mitigation equipment such as flue gas cleaning. There are various types of incinerator plant design: burn barrel, medi-burner, pyrolitic incinerators (low cost and High tech incinerators), moving grate, rotary-kiln, fluidized bed, and wet scrubbers (Batterman, 2004). 2.5.1 Burn BarrelThe burn barrel is a somewhat more controlled form of private waste incineration, containing the burning material inside a metal barrel, with a metal grating over the exhaust. The barrel prevents the spread of burning material in windy conditions, and as the combustibles are reduced they can only settle down into the barrel. The exhaust grating helps to prevent the spread of burning chambers. Typically steel 55-US-gallon (210 L) drums are used as burn barrels, with air vent holes cut or drilled around the base for air intake. Over time, the very high heat of incineration causes the metal to oxidize and rust, and eventually the barrel itself is consumed by the heat and must be replaced (Batterman, 2004). Most urban communities ban the use of burn barrels, and certain rural communities may have prohibitions on open burning, especially those home to many residents not familiar with this common rural practice system (Batterman, 2004).
