Application of technology in low-income countries

1. Introduction

This blog post presents a relatively inexpensive and convenient way to utilize this thermal treatment technology in low-income countries.

2. Key Factors

3. Composition of the chamber body using refractory bricks

4. No need lid. Open thermal treatment is possible

The thermal treatment of waste by the structure of this chamber can be operated by simply loading the waste from the top without installing an chamber lid in low-income countries where administrative regulations such as dust collection facilities are not enforced.

Emission air quality tests were completed on the air emitted during the thermal treatment process without the use of post-thermal treatment equipment, including additional dust collection systems.

The results indicate that open thermal treatment is feasible unless the addition of dust collection and post-thermal treatment equipment is administratively mandated.

However, what is required here is to test the air quality from uncovered thermal treatment chambers in more locations and in different environments and to accumulate the results.
