Mining Incinerators
Atlas Incinerators delivers robust, containerised mining incinerator solutions designed specifically for mining camps and remote industrial sites. Our systems ensure reliable, compliant and continuous waste treatment directly at source reducing operational risks and lowering total cost of ownership.
Efficient waste management is a critical component of modern mining operations. Remote mining camps generate significant volumes of combustible waste, including domestic refuse, packaging materials, sludge oil, and hazardous fractions. Transporting waste off-site is often costly, logistically complex and environmentally unsustainable.
Designed for Remote Mining Environments
Mining sites are frequently located in challenging environments with limited infrastructure. Equipment must operate continuously, safely, and independently under harsh climatic conditions.
Atlas mining incinerators are engineered for:
- 24/7 continuous operation
- High ambient temperatures or extreme cold climates
- Limited technical manpower on-site
- Fluctuating waste volumes
- Easy integration into container-based site infrastructure
Our containerised incinerators are delivered as turnkey solutions, fully assembled and factory-tested at our production facilities in Denmark. This minimises on-site installation time and ensures predictable commissioning.

Containerised Incinerator for Mining Camps
A container incinerator offers significant advantages for mining operations:
Mobility and Flexibility: Containerised systems can be transported, relocated or integrated into modular camp setups with minimal civil works.
Plug-and-Play Installation: Pre-installed control panels, burners and safety systems reduce installation complexity and commissioning time.
Safe and Controlled Combustion: Our multi-chamber combustion technology ensures high retention time and complete burn-out of waste, reducing emissions and ensuring environmentally responsible operation.
Reduced Waste Logistics: On-site incineration eliminates the need for frequent waste transport, lowering fuel consumption, vehicle wear and environmental exposure.
Supporting Sustainable Mining Operations
Environmental compliance and ESG performance are increasingly important for mining companies operating globally. Effective waste management plays a key role in reducing environmental footprint and maintaining licence to operate.
Atlas mining incinerators support:
- Volume reduction of up to 90%
- Safe destruction of hazardous and contaminated waste
- Reduced risk of soil and groundwater contamination
- Controlled flue gas management
- Improved hygiene and living conditions in mining camps
For operations in developing regions, where infrastructure may be limited, a reliable incinerator for mining camps ensures continuous waste handling without dependency on external waste contractors.

FAQ – Mining Incinerators
What is a mining incinerator?
A mining incinerator is a high-temperature waste treatment system designed to safely dispose of solid, liquid and hazardous waste generated at mining sites and mining camps.
Why use a containerised incinerator for mining camps?
Containerised incinerators provide a compact, transportable and plug-and-play waste management solution. They are ideal for remote sites where infrastructure is limited and rapid deployment is required.
What types of waste can a mining incinerator handle?
Atlas mining incinerators can process general camp waste, packaging materials, food waste, oily rags, sludge oil and selected hazardous waste fractions.
Are Atlas mining incinerators suitable for developing countries?
Yes. Our containerised solutions are specifically engineered for remote locations with limited infrastructure and technical resources.
How does on-site incineration improve safety?
On-site incineration reduces waste accumulation, minimises vermin and health risks, and eliminates the need for long-distance waste transport.
