The increasing generation of inorganic waste has intensified the need for efficient and environmentally friendly waste treatment technologies. Small-scale incinerators are widely used due to their ability to significantly reduce waste volume; however, they often lack proper emission control systems. As a result, uncontrolled exhaust gases contribute to air pollution and pose environmental and health risks. This study addresses the limitation by proposing an improved incinerator design equipped with a multi-chamber filtration system. The main contribution of this research lies in the development of an integrated engineering design that combines airflow control, thermal management, and emission reduction in a small-scale incineration system. In addition, this study provides a simulation-based evaluation framework for assessing system performance under high-temperature conditions. The methodology involves engineering calculations based on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics principles, including airflow rate, velocity, and air density analysis. A multi-chamber system was designed to facilitate staged cooling, filtration, and gas flow stabilization. Computational simulations were conducted using SolidWorks to analyze airflow patterns, temperature distribution, and structural stress. Key operational parameters such as flow rate (0.174 m³/s), temperature (~275°C), and pressure were used to evaluate system performance. The results show that the proposed system achieves stable airflow distribution with minimal turbulence across chambers. The velocity of airflow is effectively reduced in the filtration stages, allowing heat dissipation and partial gas condensation. Thermal analysis indicates improved temperature control compared to conventional systems, while structural simulations confirm that all components operate safely within material limits. Furthermore, the multi-chamber design significantly enhances emission management and reduces the risk of direct pollutant release. In conclusion, the proposed multi-chamber filtration system improves the environmental performance and operational stability of small-scale incinerators. This design offers a practical and scalable solution for sustainable waste management applications.
