Types

Vertical cyclone type and horizontal burner type are the two most commonly used incinerators on the ship.

• Horizontal Burner Type

The setup is similar to a horizontally fired boiler with a burner arrangement horizontal to the incinerator combustion chamber axis. The ash and noncombustible material remaining at the end of the operation has to be cleared out manually.

• Vertical Cyclone Type

In this type, the burner is mounted on the top and the waste to be incinerated in introduced into the combustion chamber from the top. A rotating arm device is provided to improve combustion and remove ash and non-combustibles from the surface.
