Abstract
The recovery of heat from the mass incineration of solid waste can make a useful contribution to the nation's energy needs. Whilst we have been slow to exploit fully this resource in Great Britain, there are some notable plants both here and abroad which have demonstrated commercial success over a number of years. When operated with engineering judgement they are reliable and dispose of waste economically in urban areas.Keywords
