Organic compound incinerator

A volatile organic compound (VOC) incinerator comprising:

• an incineration chamber having an intake end and an exhaust end and a combustion chamber disposed therebetween;
• said intake end being pneumatically engaged to a device that generates a VOC plus air mixture, and said exhaust end being pneumatically connected to an air drawing device, whereby said VOC plus air mixture is drawn through said combustion chamber;
• a fuel injection means including a plurality of concentrically disposed ring-shaped fuel injection rods being disposed proximate said intake end and functioning to inject fuel into said VOC plus air mixture;
• a fuel control means being engaged to said fuel injection means and operable to control the quantity of fuel supplied to said fuel injection means;
• an ignition means being disposed proximate said fuel injection means and operable to ignite said fuel for burning within a combustion zone within said combustion chamber;
• a baffle means being disposed within said combustion zone to cause increased mixing of said VOC's with said air within said combustion zone;
• a temperature sensing means being disposed in said combustion zone and operative to generate temperature signals representative of the temperature of said burning fuel within said combustion zone;
• an air flow rate detector means being disposed in said intake end to measure the flow rate of said VOC plus air mixture through said intake end and to provide air flow rate signals representative thereof;
• a controller means having predetermined temperature control parameters installed therewithin and predetermined air flow rate parameters installed therewithin, said controller means being operative to receive said temperature signals and said air flow rate signals and to generate control signals related to both said temperature signals and said air flow rate signals;
• said control signals being transmitted to said fuel control means, such that said fuel control means is controlled by said control signals from said controller means;
• whereby the quantity of fuel that is initially injected into said VOC plus air mixture is controlled by the air flow rate of the VOC plus air mixture passing through said intake end;
• and
• whereby the quantity of fuel that is subsequently injected into said VOC plus air mixture is controlled by the temperature of the burning fuel within the combustion zone.
