Land-based incineration plants play a pivotal role in managing municipal solid waste, converting it into energy while mitigating the environmental impact. Central to this process is the efficient management of emissions, particularly the treatment of flue gases that arise during incineration. Flue gas treatment in incineration plants is a critical component, employing sophisticated filter and absorption systems to remove harmful substances and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental regulations.

“The combustion of waste in incineration plants generates a complex mixture of gases, commonly referred to as incinerator flue gas” Head of Sales at Atlas Incinerators, Lars M. Lund-Jacobsen explains. “The gas stream contains various pollutants, including particulate matter, heavy metals, acidic gases and furans. They are all substances that pose significant environmental and health risks if released into the atmosphere untreated.” 

Flue gas cleaning technologies are vital in addressing these challenges. Advanced filter- and absorption systems are employed in waste incineration plants to efficiently capture and neutralize harmful components present in the flue gas.

The integration of flue gas treatment systems not only ensures compliance with strict emission standards but also take the overall environmental concerns into consideration. By effectively removing harmful substances from incinerator flue gas, these technologies mitigate the impact on air quality, thereby protecting public health and the ecosystem.

Continuous innovation in flue gas treatment technologies is driving improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. Research and development efforts focus on enhancing the performance of existing systems, exploring novel materials for filtration, and optimizing chemical processes to further reduce emissions and increase the overall efficiency of waste incineration plants.

“Our land-based incineration system includes the combination of incinerator technology with an advanced filtration system”, Lars M. Lund-Jacobsen says and continues: “Our system matches the stringent emission standards outlined by both the European Union (EU) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At the heart of our solution lies its efficiency in reducing harmful emissions. Our system ensures an elimination of a wide array of pollutants commonly present in flue gases.
