Incinerators for Remote Sites, Mining Camps and Islands

Mining camps, oil and gas sites, construction camps and small islands share the same challenge: waste piles up and there is no collection service. A compact on-site incinerator is often the most practical solution.

Why Remote Sites Use Incinerators

• No municipal collection or landfill nearby
• Food waste attracts wildlife and pests
• Strict environmental and camp hygiene requirements
• Shipping waste off-site is expensive

Choosing the Right Format

Containerized incinerator

The incinerator is built into a shipping container – easy to transport, quick to install and protected from weather.

Small mobile incinerator

A compact unit such as the MWI-20 can be mounted on a trolley and moved around a site.

Fixed basic incinerator

For permanent camps or islands, a fixed SMWI-series unit offers larger capacity.

Practical Checklist

1. Waste volume: camp waste is often 1–2 kg per person per day – measure yours.
2. Fuel: diesel is usually easiest to supply at remote sites.
3. Power: check whether you need a generator for fans and controls.
4. Spare parts: order a spare parts kit with the unit.
5. Training: make sure at least two operators are trained.
6. Shipping: confirm container size and crane access at the site.

Camp size	Approx. daily waste	Suggested model
50 people	50–100 kg	MWI-20 / SMWI-20
200 people	200–400 kg	SMWI-30 / SMWI-50
500+ people	0.5–1 t	SMWI-100 or larger

Can a remote-site incinerator run without grid power?

Most units need power for burners, fans and controls. A diesel generator is commonly supplied together with the incinerator.
