8. Energy recovery systems
8.1 Energy recovery through incineration
The flue gases from the combustion/ post-combustion chamber must be cooled before being treated and discharged into the atmosphere. Depending on the size of the plant, this cooling may or may not include heat energy recovery.

Flue gas quenching
Suitable for low-power industrial installations, it is performed in a dilution chamber with fresh air or by spraying water in direct contact with the flue gases. Fume-tube boilers are sometimes used.
