Primary combustion occurs at low substoichoimetric air percentages of 10-30 percent and at temperatures below 1000 degrees F. Secondary combustion is staged and controlled for low NOx formation and prevention of formation of CO, hydrocarbons, and VOCs. The gasifier includes a furnace bed segmented into individual cells, each cell is independently monitored using a ramp temperature probe, and provided with controlled air injection. Gasifier air injection includes tuyere arrays, lances, or both. The oxidizer includes three serially aligned stages separated by air injecting baffles, and ability to adjust the exit air temperature.

An apparatus for treating liquid waste includes a vessel, an AC plasma torch mounted with the vessel, and at least one nozzle mounted in the vessel. The nozzle is positioned so that liquid waste introduced through the nozzle into the vessel will be sprayed into or above a flame emitted by the AC plasma torch. Liquid waste is atomized by the nozzle and sprayed into the flame. The energy from the flame causes the organic portion of the atomized liquid waste to gasify and dissociate into elemental components. This dissociation destroys any hazardous or toxic constituency of the waste material.

A waste disposal system for gasification and melting of various waste materials such as solid waste, waste in a solid container, granular waste, and liquid waste, and mixtures thereof. The system includes a reactor vessel which is closed to the atmosphere, and also includes a bottom portion capable of serving as a slag pool. An active feed mechanism eliminates the entry of air from the atmosphere into the vessel and also blocks the expulsion of by product gases into the atmosphere. The feed mechanism includes mechanisms to feed solid waste, waste in a solid container, granular waste and liquid waste into the reactor vessel. A plasma arc torch is located for plasma arc activity within said reactor vessel to produce a high temperature processing zone to gasify or melt solid waste, waste in a solid container, granular waste, and liquid waste and mixtures thereof as such waste is actively fed into the reactor vessel. In preferred embodiments a waste receiving reservoir is located within the vessel and positioned to initially receive and retain waste from the active feed mechanism for thermal decomposition and melting of the waste by the arc torch.

The outlet duct (16) extends into the collection vessel (25), which has an upper end housing a gas filter (26) and a lower end connected to an ash receptacle (27). Gaseous fuel passing through the filter (26) enters a discharge fine (29) connected to a gas chiller unit (30). The unit (30) has a hot water/steam outlet (35), a cold water inlet (36), and a gas/vapor outlet (37) which discharges to a gas/water separator (38) wherein condensate (39) is collected, and gaseous fuel allowed to leave by way of a discharge line (40). The gas discharge line (40) incorporates a branch line (47) whereby usable gas is led away for combustion for driving the electricity generating means and a further branch line (48) whereby gas is fed to the oven burners (5) by way of a regulator valve (49) and a gas burner control unit (50).
摘要:
According to the present invention, boiler water is pressurized so that its boiling point is set at approximately 200.degree. C. to 320.degree. C. The boiler water is heated in at least two stages. Thermal energy of gases containing chlorine compounds is used to heat the water to its boiling point. Thermal energy of gases which do not contain chlorine compounds is used to heat the water from its boiling point until superheated steam of a given temperature is generated. The heating which uses the thermal energy of gases containing chlorine compounds is accomplished using the thermal energy from the combustion of pyrolysis gases obtained from a pyrolysis means in which waste material is supplied into a chamber containing a fluidized bed medium which has been heated to at least 300.degree. C., and a pyrolytic reaction is induced. The heating which uses the thermal energy of gases which do not contain chlorine compounds is accomplished using the thermal energy obtained from a char combustion means to combust char in which a char mixture consisting of unpyrolyzed residue and fluidized bed medium removed from the pyrolysis means is fluidized by a stream of air, and the unpyrolyzed residue is combusted.
摘要:
In a process for gasifying and burning waste materials, the waste materials are introduced into an incinerator (1) and end up on a burning grate (6) to which combustion air is conducted through various undergrate forced draft chambers (8a to 8e). In the first area combustion air is introduced at a superstoichiometric level in order to ignite the waste materials. Then, via the undergrate forced draft chambers (8c to 8e), oxygen is mixed into the air which is used for the gasification, thereby establishing a substoichiometric level which results in gasification of the waste materials. The combustible gases which result from this process pass via a waste gas flue (12) into a second furnace (2), in which the gases are burned at a superstoichiometric level through the introduction of combustion air. The resulting waste gases pass to a heat exchanger (3).
摘要:
A method of charging a pyrolytic gas-producing reactor with waste fuel wherein the waste fuel is forced into the reactor by a ram and wherein air is prevented from entering the reactor and pyrolysis gases are prevented from escaping from the reactor by means of an ablative seal which is positioned between the fuel and the ram and which is forced by the action of the ram on the fuel charge into the reactor whilst in sealing engagement with the internal walls of the reactor, the seal being made of a material which will resist the high temperature and chemical conditions in the reactor for at least as long a period as is required for the seal to perform its sealing function and which is thereafter thermally decomposed into products which are not detrimental to the pyrolytic process or to the pyrolytic gases produced by the reactor. Also described is a method of feeding particulate materials into or through a tubular vessel which method comprises urging the material through the vessel, for example by ram means, and preventing or overcoming jamming of the packed particulate material by applying a neutral or negative force to the material at a position on the upstream side of the position at which jamming would otherwise occur.
