Waste incineration has become a mature technology and widely accepted due to its environment friendliness, easy operation and ability to reduce more than 95% mass fraction. There are some inherent limitations associated with incinerators such as high fuel consumption and cite feasibility. In this study, we propose a novel design concept of small scale fluidized bed incinerator for household use, with the ability to consume brown’s gas (HHO) as primary fuel for incinerate waste. In principle, the HHO gas generated through photovoltaic (PV) integrated water electrolysis system would be feed from the bottom to provide heat energy to the waste. Theoretical design of fluidized bed type incinerator has been presented with water electrolyzer system. It was calculated that 150 lph of hydrogen is required for this proposed incinerator system which can handle 5 kg of waste.
