An incinerary, more commonly referred to as an incinerator, is a facility or device designed to burn waste materials at high temperatures. This process reduces the volume of waste, converts it into ash, gases, and heat, and can also generate energy. Incineration is often used for waste management, particularly for hazardous or non-recyclable materials, but it can raise environmental concerns regarding emissions and air pollution. Properly designed and operated incinerators incorporate advanced filtration systems to minimize harmful emissions.
