Downfired Incineration Systems typically treat wastes containing inorganic salts (NaCl, Na2SO4, Na2S), organic salts (acetates and oxalates of alkali metals), caustic liquids, and non-combustible solid materials. Downfired Incineration Systems or Thermal Oxidizers earn their namesake from vertically-oriented burners located at the top of the incinerator that fire downwards. This design promotes longer refractory life as well as accumulation space for any non-combustible solids contained in the waste gas. Many Downfired Incineration Systems employ additional equipment such as baghouses, multi-clone filters, and electrostatic precipitators to provide enhanced particulate removal capability.
