Specifically, the invention relates to waste incinerator furnaces and devices and methods for improved combustion, destruction and removal of undesirable particulate and gaseous environmental contaminants and pollutants.
Claims20
A furnace apparatus configured to incinerate solid waste, comprising;
- a chamber comprising an upper pyrolysis section and a lower combustion section;
- a solid waste feed inlet positioned at an upper portion of the chamber configured to feed solid waste to the lower combustion section;
- a plurality of air inlet pipes fixedly connected to a lower portion of the chamber to receive air for combustion of the solid waste within the lower combustion section;
- and
- a plurality of air outlet pipes fixedly connected to the lower portion of the chamber and opposingly positioned to the air inlet pipes to exhaust combusted air from the lower combustion section, wherein a plurality of magnets are operably attached on the air inlet pipes and the air outlet pipes, wherein paramagnetic oxygen present in the received air is concentrated via the magnets, and the concentrated oxygen is introduced into a plasma generated within the combustion section to accelerate the combustion process, and to oxidize toxic matter present in the solid waste;
- the furnace apparatus further comprising nickel-chromium alloy conductors coated with a magnesium and/or graphite composite positioned within the lower combustion section, wherein the conductors are adapted to retain and conduct heat,
- and wherein the apparatus further comprises a chamber fitted with an ultrasonic generator wherein gasses are subjected to an ultrasonic frequency, wherein the ultrasonic generator is a vibrating ceramic plate.
The furnace apparatus of any preceding claim wherein the exhaust assembly is further connected to a fan mechanism that propels the flue gases into a process heater adapted to heat up the flue gasses gasses up to about 1200° C.
The furnace apparatus of any preceding claim wherein the nickel-chromium alloy conductors coated with a magnesium and/or graphite composite line at least a portion of the inside of the lower combustion section.
The furnace apparatus of any preceding claim wherein the nickel-chromium alloy conductors are adapted for thermal insulation and are positioned between a silica carbide coating and an outer stainless-steel wall.
An furnace apparatus configured to incinerate solid waste, comprising;
- a chamber comprising an upper pyrolysis section and a lower combustion section;
- a solid waste feed inlet positioned at an upper portion of the chamber configured to feed solid waste to the lower combustion section;
- a plurality of air inlet pipes fixedly connected to a lower portion of the chamber (the combustion chamber) to receive air for combustion of the solid waste within the lower combustion section;
- and
- a plurality of air outlet pipes fixedly connected to the lower portion of the chamber and positioned opposed to the air inlet pipes to exhaust combusted air from the lower combustion section, wherein a blower and a magnetic air separator is functionally in communication with the air inlet pipes, wherein paramagnetic oxygen present in the received air is concentrated via the magnetic air separator, and the concentrated oxygen is introduced into a plasma generated within the combustion section to accelerate the combustion process, and to oxidize toxic matter present in the solid waste;
- wherein the apparatus further comprises a chamber fitted with an ultrasonic generator wherein gasses are subjected to an ultrasonic frequency, wherein the ultrasonic generator is a vibrating ceramic plate.
