[USCC] Incineration vs composting

[CAVM@aol.com]

Brenda, what your paper described is combustion, not incineration.   While 
both processes reduce the volume of input material through heat,  incineration 
is a heat sink while combustion produces heat for other uses.
 
There might be several factors favoring composting or combustion for  
different sites.  But what can be used as a common denominator for  comparison?  The 
most likely one is net profit. It is more likely to be an  ongoing 
(sustainable) venture if the material is composted or  combusted?
 
In properly designed systems I don't see much opportunity for pollution in  
either system, or not one over another. Combustion can be clean enough that you 
 can't tell if the facility is operating by looking at the stack.
