According to a study by the ASME Research Committee in Industrial and Municipal Waste, rotary kilns are a proven technology for thermal treatment of a wide variety of combustible waste materials ranging from consumer products to organic chemicals. Because products to organic chemicals. Because discrete units of waste of irregular size are charged to rotary kilns, occasional combustion excursions can occur when combustible material volatilize too rapidly and creates an organic vapor cloud which cannot be thoroughly mixed with oxygen in the combustions changer, and under extreme conditions creates oxygen demand which exceeds the supply.
