This research project is embarked on to achieve an engineering and technological innovation of designing and construction of a smokeless and non-pollutant emitting incineration system (prototype at this point) for environmental sustainability. The incinerator is designed with two-chambers (primary and secondary) each equipped with burner, with an overfire air jet system added to the secondary chamber to increase residence time. Due to intended movability of the system at this stage of the design, the incinerator is double walled and lagged with fibre glass. The temperature in the primary chamber was designed at 8000C, while that of secondary chamber is designed for 10000C. An air pollution control system in the form of a wet scrubber is designed to be retrofitted to the incinerator to completely remove the remaining flue gases and particulate matters released from the incinerator through a wash down and absorption mechanism. This system therefore, will improve our incineration system in municipal, hospital and industrial solid waste removal. The water for the spray tower is designed to be mixed slake lime to help in absorption of some acidic gases in the smokes from the incinerator.
