Containerized expeditionary solid waste disposal system

A solid waste treatment system, comprising:

• a transportable apparatus including a plurality of containers configured to be releasably assembled together to define a container assembly;
• wherein the plurality of containers includes:
• a first combustion container comprising a primary combustion chamber and an outlet aperture, wherein the primary combustion chamber is configured for performing a gasification of the solid waste, and the outlet aperture is configured for output of heated gasification products from the first combustion container;
• a second combustion container comprising a secondary combustion chamber and an inlet aperture, wherein the inlet aperture is configured to receive the heated gasification products into the secondary combustion chamber for an oxidation of the gasification products;
• and
• a third container configured to be releasably assembled directly between the first and second combustion containers;
• wherein the third container includes:
• a gas flow duct extending across the third container and configured to receive the heated gasification products output from the first combustion container and convey a heated gas flow including the heated gasification products output from the first combustion chamber, to the second combustion chamber, for oxidation of the gasification products, via the inlet aperture of the second combustion container;
• a slide rail mechanism configured to move the gas flow duct between a stored position and an operational position;
• and
• a blower associated with the gas flow duct and configured to increase the gas flow conveyed to the secondary combustion chamber;
• and
• wherein the plurality of containers include mechanical connectors for releasably securing the containers to each other.

A method of using a mobile solid waste treatment system, the method comprising:

• releasably connecting a plurality of ISO containers together to define an ISO container assembly;
• wherein each of the plurality of ISO containers individually, and the ISO container assembly, meet ISO container specifications defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO);
• wherein the ISO container assembly includes:
• a first ISO container comprising a primary combustion chamber and an outlet;
• a second ISO container comprising a secondary combustion chamber and an inlet;
• a third ISO container assembled directly between the first and second ISO containers, the third ISO container includes a gas flow duct extending from a first end aligned with the outlet of the first ISO container to a second end aligned with the inlet of the second ISO container;
• combusting a solid waste in the primary combustion chamber, which generates heated flue gasses that are conveyed from the primary combustion chamber directly into the gas flow duct in the third ISO container and further conveyed from the gas flow duct to the secondary combustion chamber for oxidation of the heated flue gasses;
• and
• using a burner provided in the third ISO container to combust the heated flue gasses received in the secondary combustion chamber via the gas flow duct.
