It provides additional residence time and temperature to ensure that virtually all contaminants in the exhaust gases are oxidized. The process involves:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Gas Cooling<\/strong><br \/>\nThe exhaust gases from the incinerator are initially cooled to reduce the heat load on the afterburner.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.

This chamber is equipped with burners to provide additional fuel and oxygen. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Complete Combustion<\/strong><br \/>\nThe secondary combustion chamber allows for complete oxidation of any remaining hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants.
