Abstract
A mobile hazardous waste treatment facility (10) is provided for transfer to a remote treatment site where it can be rapidly assembled and disassembled. A primary combustion chamber (20) is placed on a trailer and support section (74). A secondary combustion chamber (24) and a scrubber section (37) are also placed on trailers (119, 127 and 196). Each trailer (74, 119, 127 and 196) is provided with three sets of hydraulic jacks for leveling and lowering the appropriate piece of equipment to jack stands on a concrete slab.
Claims14
A mobile waste treatment system, comprising:
- a primary combustion chamber for receiving and burning waste material, said primary combustion chamber independently mounting on a first road transportable unit;
- a secondary combustion chamber for further burning said waste material, said second combustion chamber inter-connectable with said primary combustion chamber, said second combustion chamber independently mounted on a second road transportable unit;
- and
- a scrubber section for finally processing said waste material, said scrubber section interconnectable with said secondary combustion chamber, said scrubber section independently mounted on a third road transportable unit;
- said first, second, and third road transportable units each comprising a trailer having a skid section:
- wherein said first road transportable unit trailer further comprises a support structure for supporting said primary combustion chamber on said skid section, said support structure fixably attached to said skid section and adjustably attached to said primary combustion chamber.
A mobile hazardous waste treatment system fully transportable to a remote site, comprising:
- truck mounted means for controlling the operation of said mobile facility and for carrying the necessary power transformers for the mobile treatment facility;
- a primary combustion chamber for converting waste material into ash and gas, said primary combustion chamber supportably mounted on a first wheeled trailer by mounting means;
- said mounting means fixedly attached to said first wheeled trailer;
- said primary combustion chamber adjustably attached to said mounting means;
- means for feeding said primary combustion chamber with the waste material;
- a secondary combustion chamber mounted on a second wheeled trailer;
- means for interconnecting said primary combustion chamber to said secondary combustion chamber in order to transfer said gas from said primary combustion chamber to said secondary combustion chamber;
- said secondary combustion chamber having means for further burning and cleaning said gas from said primary combustion chamber;
- a scrubber section mounted on a third wheeled trailer for receiving and finally cleaning the gas from said secondary combustion chamber;
- fan means for providing an air draft from said primary combustion chamber to said secondary combustion chamber and from said secondary combustion chamber to said scrubber section;
- an exhaust stack attached to said induced draft fan for exhausting said finally cleaned gas to the atmosphere;
- said fan means and said exhaust stack mounted to a fourth wheeled trailer;
- and
- each of said wheel trailers being connectable to towing means for transportation to the remote treatment site.
