Incinerator for Religious Organisations

 

If you think, incinerators are meant only for industries and hospitals, think again.  Wherever there is human activity, there is waste generation and wherever there is waste, there is a Haat incinerator.

 

Haat’s incinerators are working in temples in India, where there are wastes in the form of flowers, food and offerings to the Gods. They are also working in a Gurudwara in the U.K.  The application here is different.

 

There is a reasonably large Sikh population in the U.K and quite a number of Gurudwaras where they offer their prayers. These Gurudwaras use the sacred scripture of the Sikh community, viz. Guru Granth Sahib.  After many years of use, this Holy Scripture loses its structure and strength and has to be retired respectfully.

 

Haat model GD incinerator with a double chamber and a single burner was chosen for incineration of the holy books. In order to comply with the

U.K.’s Clean Air Act 1993, the fuel had to be approved and hence gas was chosen as the fuel for the incinerator. A gas burner was, therefore, provided even though Haat’s incinerators are already exempted under this act, the applications being wood and paper. The normal practice in Sikh temples to dispose of the holy book was to burn it using clarified butter.

 

The GD incinerator was supplied and commissioned at the Gurudwara by our local representative without any issues.  The machine produces no smoke while incinerating the holy books.

 

Whether it is holy books, coconuts, flowers, panchamirtham, fruits or other offerings that are made to please the Gods, when the purpose is served, holy places are left with the task of disposing of the same. We have seen in some temples, particularly on festival days, mountains of these materials are allowed to accumulate, rot and decompose, creating a serious health hazard.

 

If you are involved in running a Temple, Church, Dargah or Gurudwara, please rest assured that Haat is at your service to analyse your problem and offer a workable solution.
