The [[flue gases]] from the [[Incineration|incineration]] process are passed through a secondary chamber, or afterburner, where any gaseous products of [[Combustion|combustion]] are burned out under oxygen rich conditions. This stage is designed to destroy any [[Wikipedia:Carbon monoxide|carbon monoxide]], [[Wikipedia:Volatile organic compound|volatile organic compounds]], and [[Wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds|dioxins]] and [[Wikipedia:Furan|furans]] produced by the [[Combustion|combustion process]].

The [[flue gases]] are then cooled by directing them through a waste-heat boiler before they pass into the abatement section of the process. Powdered [[Wikipedia:Lime (material)|lime]] and powdered [[Wikipedia:Activated carbon|activated carbon]] are added to the [[flue gases]] entering the abatement process to remove acid gases, [[Wikipedia:Heavy metals|heavy metals]] and residual [[Wikipedia:Dioxins and dioxin-like compounds|dioxins]] and [[[[Wikipedia:Furan|furans]] before discharge to atmosphere from the stack. The [[flue gases]] being discharged from the stack are continuously monitored.

The [[Incineration|incineration]] process produces two residues; [[bottom ash]] and spent lime.
