Filters
1. Spin-on and Cartridge Oil Filters from Cars Trucks, and Heavy Equipment:
Requires a fuel source to properly incinerate. Burning is best achieved by
burning with a load of used oily absorbents or wood products. These
products burn very hot and will achieve the best results. After the burn is
complete, the steel canister is all that remains. It should be recycled or
disposed of in a landfill.
2. Air Filters of All Types: Burn good because most of these are paper-based
and can sustain a flame on their own. All that is required to start and
sustain the burn process is an ample supply of newspapers.
3. Poly & Fiberglass Ventilation Filters: Incineration is similar to the above
listing. The only difference is in the ash created from burning fiberglass
filter. It will be fist-sized clumps instead of a powder.
4. Natural Gas Pipeline Filters (Glycol Filters): Burns very hot. The fibers in
this type of filter are impregnated with natural gas. All that is required to
start and sustain the incineration process is an ample supply of
newspapers.
Paper Products (An optional Document Burner is available for large amounts.)
1. Newspapers: Burn best when shredded. This allows for more air flow.
2. Office Waste: Burns good since there is always ample paper in the waste
to start the burn process.
3. Cardboard: Burns very hot and fast. Newspapers are helpful in starting the
incineration process.
4. Fast Food Paper Waste: For proper burn, material must be dry. Once
dry, the lighting of the waste is all that is required to start the incineration
process.
5. Computer Paper and Sensitive Documents: Burns good when stacked in
the drum with no obstructions. The air flow in the drum picks up each
individual paper and burns it completely.
Wood Products
1. Sawdust: Burns good and will incinerate on its own. The addition of diesel
fuel or waste oil will speed up the burn process and eliminate the need for
disposal.
2. Construction Site Scrap and Shipping Pallets: Burns very good. All that is
required to start the incineration process is a small amount of oil or diesel
(no gasoline or paint thinner) and some newspaper. This will create a fast
start with little smoke.
3. Tree Limbs & Leaves: When burning, these items should be mixed if
possible. The leaves will ensure the proper incineration of the tree limbs.
Any yard waste material to be burned should be dried because of the high
moisture content. Lighting of the leaves is all that is required to start the
incineration process.
