Abstract For more than the past two decades, the USEPA has been aggressive in its research, development, performance testing, and in encouragement of the regulated use of proven thermal destruction (or incineration) technologies for the environmentally acceptable treatment and disposal of combustible waste streams. Nationally, significant percentages of residential solid waste, municipal sewage sludge, and a variety of industrial, chemical, and agricultural wastes are routinely treated by thermal systems. The paper is an overview of the state-of-the-art of land-based incineration, emphasizing both conventional and innovative hazardous waste thermal treatment technologies and regulatory performance standards. High temperature systems, low-temperature thermal desorption, pyrolysis units, heat recovery, and newer systems involving fluidized beds, oxygen-enriched combustion, plasma-arc units, and solar-assisted incineration, etc. are discussed.
