Incineration

Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. Incineration and other high-temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic constituents of the waste, and may take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried by the flue gas. The flue gases must be cleaned of gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are dispersed into the atmosphere. In some cases, the heat generated by incineration can be used to generate electric power.

Incineration with energy recovery is one of several waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies such as gasification, pyrolysis and anaerobic digestion. While incineration and gasification technologies are similar in principle, the energy product from incineration is high-temperature heat whereas combustible gas is often the main energy product from gasification. Incineration and gasification may also be implemented without energy and materials recovery.

Incinerator (Transformers)

Incinerator is the name of several fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.

Transformers: Armada

Incinerator is the name of the Mini-Con Partner to Armada Blurr.

Animated series

Incinerator was partnered with the Autobot Blurr and could allow Blurr to fly when powerlinked to him. He also activated wings to pop down on the Blurr toy when powerlinked to him.

Transformers

Incinerator is the name of a Decepticon who turns into an V-22 Osprey tiltrotor.

Since the end of the war and the destruction of Megatron, more and more individual Decepticons have been appearing on Earth chasing rumors that their leader still lives. Most choose to remain hidden from the Autobots who have stayed behind to defend the world, but not Incinerator. He's actively hunting AllSpark enhanced Autobots, reasoning that one of them must know where Megatron is. When he catches an Autobot, Incinerator takes him on a little ride, swooping and diving dangerously, hovering over canyons and volcanoes, and generally terrifying whatever information he can out of his victim. When he's done, he just finds the deepest hole he can and drops his helpless prey in.
