Portable and containerized multi-stage waste-to-energy recovery apparatus for use in a variety of settings

A mobile waste-to-energy recovery apparatus which is readily assemble-able using a slide rail mounted system, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of combustion chambers in fluid communication and which enable a gasification of solid waste and oxidation of a contained gas, one of the combustion chambers being a gasification chamber and another of the combustion chambers being an oxidation chamber, the oxidation chamber having a main exhaust stack;
• a heat recovery assembly releasably attached to the oxidation chamber and configured to produce at least a heated liquid in a closed-loop system from a gaseous effluent such that when a capacity of a water storage tank is reached, the gaseous effluent is redirected from a heat recovery stack of the heat recovery assembly to the main exhaust stack;
• and
• a microcontroller within one of the plurality of combustion chambers and configured to:
• control a pre-selected set point temperature using a variable frequency drive electrically connected to at least one blower;
• activate at least one modulating fuel operated burner to ensure the pre-selected set point is maintained with the plurality of combustion chambers;
• provide a remotely operated interface to allow an operator to control at least the pre-selected set point temperature and a timed burn cycle;
• power a water pump in fluid communication with a heat exchanger and water storage tank to circulate the heated liquid within the heat recovery assembly.

A mobile waste-to-energy recovery apparatus having a heat recovery module and is further readily assemblable using an integrated slide rail mounted system, the apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of equilateral dimensioned combustion chambers in fluid communication to provide a multi-stage gasification of a solid waste with a further oxidation, one of the combustion chambers being a primary gasification chamber and another of the combustion chambers being a secondary oxidation chamber, the secondary oxidation chamber having a main exhaust stack;
• the heat recovery module configured to produce at least a heated liquid from a gaseous effluent such that when a capacity of a water storage tank is reached, the gaseous effluent is redirected from a heat recovery stack of the heat recovery module to the main exhaust stack;
• and
• a microcontroller housed within a breech/control chamber and remotely connected to a main control panel and configured to:
• regulate a plurality of pre-programmed set point temperatures using at least one mounted sensor within the primary gasification chamber and the secondary oxidation chamber;
• control a fuel operated burner to heat the primary gasification chamber and the secondary oxidation chamber to enable a multi-stage gasification/oxidation;
• receive a plurality of command inputs at the main control panel;
• and
• power a water pump in fluid communication with a heat exchanger of the heat recovery module;
• and
• the water storage tank to circulate the heated liquid within the heat recovery module.
