The first incinerator made by us was for bio-medical waste supplied to a hospital in Bangalore, India. This machine was replaced by a bigger one in the next few years as the waste quantity increased. Following this, there were many models and types of incinerators developed by Haat, which include not only the combustion chambers but also different scrubbing systems, loading and de-ashing systems, waste gas thermal oxidisers, etc. The gamut of waste increased by leaps and bounds, as generators of wastes found a convenient way to dispose of them with no concern of damage to the environment. Regulatory authorities put in place stringent emission standards which made it impossible for unscrupulous manufacturers to meddle with the quality and configuration of the equipment.

The applications developed in these 25 years are one too many. The habit of simply throwing away waste has changed. Every generator was looking to do it the right way, making work places and cities cleaner than before.

We thought it would be befitting to list some of the incinerator applications below:

In the 26th year of our existence, we have reached a significant milestone, as we are in the process of completing manufacture of the first human cremator for supply to Mauritius.

The transition from the simple garbage incinerator to a human cremator represents a huge leap forward. As an island nation with limited space for burial, Mauritius has opted for a cremator that uses diesel or gas as fuel. We believe this is just the beginning and we expect many more orders for human cremators from other countries.

Over the past two and a half decades, we have made an impact in the market by handling a huge spectrum of wastes. It includes a full circle of human life – from after-birth matter to the mortal remains of a human being - from creation to extinction. That is the illusory truth!
