System and method for combusting volatile vapors

A remediation system for combusting volatile vapors, the system comprising:

• an internal combustion engine comprising a rotatable crankshaft;
• a carburetor operably coupled to the engine, the carburetor having a first intake valve receiving base fuel from a primary fuel source, a second intake valve receiving external air from an external air source, and a third intake valve receiving volatile vapors from a vapor source, the carburetor configured to combine the base fuel, external air, and volatile vapors fuel to form a combustion mixture and discharge the mixture to the engine;
• an electromagnetic braking device operably coupled to the crankshaft of the engine, the braking device changeable in state between an activated state and a deactivated state, the braking device configured to apply an adjustable braking load on the engine crankshaft when in the activated state for increasing combustion of volatile vapors from the vapor source;
• and
• a programmable controller operably coupled to the braking device, the controller configured to:
• receive real-time engine operating data measured during operation of the engine by a plurality of sensors communicably coupled to the controller;
• compare the real-time engine operating data against baseline engine operating parameters pre-programmed into the controller;
• and
• automatically activate the braking device to apply the braking load to the engine based on the real-time engine operating data meeting the baseline engine operating parameters.
