Small Scale Waste To Energy
| One of most effective things that you can do to preserve the environment is to convert waste to energy. Waste treatment can change waste source like animal byproducts, biodegradable waste, food waste, and domestic waste to energy in the form of heat or electricity. |

Sometimes waste treatment also refers to as energy recovery. Waste treatment can produce usable fuel products like methane, methanol, and ethanol. Some of the waste treatment technologies are the following.
Incineration: Incineration is a waste treatment method that combust organic materials and other substances into ash, flue gases, and electricity. It is the most common waste treatment implementation. Incineration may reduce the volume of the original waste down by ninety five percent. However, incineration should be done without hazardous materials before combustion. Otherwise, it may pollute the environments. Incineration has its best benefits from particular types of waste like clinical waste, and it is most dangerous with hazardous wastes like pathogens.
Gasification: Gasification is a waste treatment process that converts carbonic materials like coal into hydrogen and carbon monoxide at high temperature. Gasification is one of the most effective methods to extract energy from organic materials. Many industries use gasification of fossil fuels to generate electricity, but gasification is not only limited to fossil fuels. Almost any type of organic matters like wood, plastic waste, or biomass can be used for gasification.
