Incineration of non-hazardous waste

CPC v2.1 Code: 94333

About incineration of non-hazardous waste

cpc code 94333 covers the incineration of non-hazardous waste, a critical process in the waste management industry. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy by safely disposing of municipal and commercial waste, reducing the environmental impact of landfills, and recovering energy from waste materials. Incineration is a key method for treating non-hazardous waste, helping to divert waste from landfills and convert it into useful energy sources.

Production process

The incineration of non-hazardous waste typically involves the controlled burning of waste materials in specialized facilities. These facilities use advanced combustion technologies to ensure complete and efficient burning, minimizing the release of pollutants. The process often includes pre-treatment steps such as sorting, shredding, or drying the waste to optimize the incineration process. The heat generated during incineration is then captured and used to produce steam or electricity, making the process more sustainable.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the incineration of non-hazardous waste include the waste materials themselves, which can come from a variety of sources such as municipal solid waste, commercial waste, and certain industrial waste streams. Specialized incineration equipment, such as furnaces, boilers, and air pollution control devices, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the process may require various consumables like fuel, chemicals, and water to support the combustion and emissions control systems.

Production outputs

The primary output of the incineration of non-hazardous waste is the energy generated in the form of steam or electricity, which can be used to power facilities or fed into the grid. The process also produces ash and other residues, which may require further treatment or disposal. The incineration of non-hazardous waste can provide inputs to other industries, such as 22111 Electric power generation, 22112 Electric power transmission and distribution, and 56211 Waste collection, which may utilize the energy or manage the residual waste streams.
