Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a method of destroying waste by combustion. The waste is first gasified in a gas generator and the gaseous products then delivered to a combustion chamber for combustion thereof. Prior to delivery of the gaseous products to the combustion chamber, the water-soluble compounds are separated therefrom by means of a cooler and an electrostatic filter, and returned to the gas generator prior to combustion thereof.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to apparatus for feeding material to a gas generator. A cell feeder is provided for preventing backflow of gases through the feeding apparatus from the gas generator. The cell feeder includes a housing having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, and independently movable segments mounted in the housing for sequentially blocking and unblocking the openings. The segments are adapted to be driven in relation to each other whereby material received within the housing will be compressed prior to the opening of the outlet thereby preventing the backflow of gases.
