Incineration
LitBurn incinerators for municipal, commercial and industrial waste destruction.
Purpose-built LitBurn LBI series incinerators for general waste streams. Multi-fuel operation with 850–1,200°C combustion, 3–5% ash residue, and full regulatory compliance — handling municipal solid waste, commercial refuse, industrial by-products, and packaging materials.
Waste Stream
Applications
Select a waste stream to see how LitBurn incinerators address your specific waste destruction requirements.
Municipal solid waste streams present highly variable compositions — mixed organics, plastics, paper, textiles, and inert fractions arriving in unpredictable ratios. Regulatory frameworks under the Waste Incineration Directive and Environmental Permitting Regulations demand complete combustion at 850°C minimum with 2-second gas residence time. Our LitBurn LBI series incinerators handle MSW loads from 125 kg to 500 kg per hour with dual-chamber combustion, achieving 3–5% ash residue and full compliance with stack emission limits.

General Waste
Key advantages of LitBurn LBI incinerators for general waste destruction.
Multi-Fuel Operation
Natural gas, hydrogen, diesel, LPG, or biofuel — switch fuel source to match site infrastructure, cost targets, and your path to net zero with hydrogen-ready burners.
3–5% Ash Residue
Complete dual-chamber combustion at 850–1,200°C reduces waste volume by 95–97% — dramatically cutting disposal costs and landfill dependency.
Rapid Heat-Up
All LitBurn models reach full operating temperature within 30 minutes — minimising downtime between burns and maximising daily throughput capacity.
Robust Construction
8–12mm steel construction with high-temperature scratch-resistant paint, cool-touch cladding for operator safety, and Coretex refractory lining for thermal efficiency.
Smart Controls
IP6X rated PLC control panels with optional remote monitoring — providing real-time combustion data, emission logging, and predictive maintenance alerts.
Energy Recovery Options
Optional heat recovery, water pre-heating (70–95°C), waste heat to steam (2–10 bar), and electrical generation (3–15 kW) — turning waste destruction into an energy asset.
Your Incinerator
Pays You Back
Built-in heat recovery systems capture waste energy from incineration and redirect it back into your facility — cutting fuel costs and offsetting energy bills.
Waste Heat Becomes
Facility Energy.
Every LitBurn incinerator generates significant thermal energy during waste destruction. Instead of venting that heat to atmosphere, our integrated recovery systems capture it and redirect it back into your facility — pre-heating water, generating steam, producing electricity, or pre-drying incoming waste to halve fuel consumption. The incinerator becomes a net energy contributor rather than just a disposal cost.
Recovered exhaust heat generates hot water for site heating, wash-down systems, or process use — displacing dedicated gas-fired water heaters.
Waste heat boiler generates low-to-medium pressure steam for industrial processes, sterilisation, or supplementing existing boiler capacity.
Thermoelectric or micro-turbine modules convert waste heat to electricity — offsetting site power costs and improving overall energy efficiency.
Recovered heat pre-dries incoming waste before combustion — removing moisture halves fuel consumption and improves combustion efficiency.
