The design, operation, performance, and cost of an incinerator-heat recovery system which uses waste heat from incinerating cotton gin trash for gin drying are discussed. In the 1975 season during which 8200 bales of cotton were ginned, the incinerator provided 85% of the heat needed for drying, thereby saving in LP or natural gas that otherwise would have been used. Additional savings in gin waste disposal costs were simultaneously achieved. This incinerator-heat recovery system proved to be both technically and economically desirable. (LCL)
