title: Conventional and innovative land-based technologies for waste combustion.
abstract: This paper is an overview of various land-based technologies for safely treating waste materials.  Covered are both the older, proven devices, such as conventional incinerators, as well as some of the new or novel technologies which thus far have found limited application.  It is hoped that this paper can provide some degree of guidance to NASA in their search for appropriate systems for waste treatment, disposal, and/or recycling in space mission programs.
