This is achieved by maintaining the gases at a maximum temperature for a minimum residence time at a minimum oxygen level. Temperature values typically range between 850°C to 1100°C for at least two seconds at a minimum oxygen level of 6%. Higher temperatures can be associated with [[Hazardous Waste|hazardous waste]].
