This work on design and evaluation of a double chamber incinerator is part of a project on engineering design and production of a smokeless and non-pollutant emitting incineration system. The incinerator is designed to have double chambers each equipped with a burner and auxiliary air supply system. This incinerator is double walled and filled with insulating and lagging material. The primary chamber is designed to have between 750–980°C temperature, while the secondary is designed to operate in a temperature of at least 1100°C. The operating principles of the designed inconeration system in order to achieve the goal of reduction of emissions is based on the 3T's of combustion. This was possible the temperatures of operations in primary and secondary chambers, increasing gas residence time and design to encourage turbulence. The performance parameters of the incinerator were evaluated using classical emperical models as applicable to incineration systems.
