In 2006, US residents, businesses, and institutions produced more than 251 million tons of Municipal Solid Waste (more commonly known as trash or garbage), which is approximately 4.6 pounds of waste per person per day.

Incineration can be an effective technology for the clean, efficient disposal of wastes. Related processes such as gasification, pyrolysis, plasma-arc and starved-air combustion have been proposed as alternatives to incineration whereas in most cases these processes are incineration process under a different name.

This 1-hour online interactive course defines incineration and these other thermal treatment technologies, presents critical features in the design and operation of each of them, and clarifies the true differences between each of them.
