Waste gas combustor

A method for determining the amount of waste gas supplied to a combustor, comprising:

• a) supplying the waste gas to the combustor, the combustor comprising:
• i) an enclosure, further comprising a bottom panel and a plurality of sidewall panels disposed around a perimeter of the bottom panel, the plurality of sidewall panels extending upwardly from the perimeter of the bottom panel, the plurality of sidewall panels operatively coupled together around the perimeter to form a combustion chamber, wherein an uppermost portion of the enclosure is open about the perimeter, and wherein,
• ii) a burner assembly disposed within the combustion chamber,
• iii) a gas inlet pipe operatively coupled to the burner assembly, the gas inlet pipe configured to supply waste gas to the burner assembly,
• iv) an air inlet disposed through at least one of the plurality of sidewall panels, and
• v) at least one flame arrestor operatively coupled to the air inlet on an exterior side of the plurality of sidewall panels, the at least one flame arrestor configured to allow atmospheric air to enter the combustion chamber for use as combustion air for the burner assembly;
• b) monitoring the amount of the waste gas supplied to the combustor with a flow meter, the flow meter configured to provide a gas flow signal to a controller, the controller further configured to derive gas flow data from the gas flow signal;
• c) transmitting the gas flow data to a central control center;
• d) determining the amount of the waste gas supplied to and burned by the combustor from the gas flow data;
• and
• e) determining the amount of carbon credits associated with the amount of the waste gas supplied to and burned by the combustor.
