How much does a home incinerator cost?

Cost of incineration plant by formula According to the formula, the cost of a 40,000 tpa plant is $41 million, or $1,026 per ton of annual capacity. A Medium-sized 250,000 tpa plant should cost $169 million, or $680 per ton of annual capacity. These numbers give us the first estimation of how much waste-to-energy is.

What disadvantage does incineration have?

Pollutes the Environment Incinerators produce smoke during the burning process. The smoke produced includes acid gases, carcinogen dioxin, particulates, heavy metals, and nitrogen oxide. These gases are poisonous to the environment. Research has shown that dioxin produced in the plant is a cancer forming chemical.
