The obvious thing is to remove moisture. I know that when we started separating organic waste from the rest of the household waste in The Netherlands, there were complaints about the cladding of the incinerator ovens deteriorating too fast because of the much higher temperatures that were reached (sorry, could not find link), so I assume we have a self-sustaining burn since that time (apart from start-up). | |

| Oct 20, 2015 at 11:44 | comment | added | user2451 | I cannot find much in the time I'm willing to spend on this, but it is the case that combustion has to happen at high enough temperatures to prevent pollution by half-burned or intermediate (gaseous) products. The Wikipedia article on incineration states that not only air is injected, but it is required to install backup auxiliary burners (often fueled by oil), which are fired into the boiler in case the heating value of the waste becomes too low to reach this temperature alone .... | |
