System for removal of noxious fumes

A system for reducing the transmission of noxious fumes emanating from a material into the surrounding atmosphere, said system including:

• a vessel adapted to contain a supply of the material;
• a filtration unit having an inlet and an outlet;
• duct means for transferring fumes emanating from the material within the vessel into the filtration unit;
• means for moving the fumes from the vessel and through the filtration unit to condition the fumes before discharging the fumes into the atmosphere;
• burner means located between the inlet of the filtration unit and the vessel for heating the fumes to reduce certain portions of the fumes into dry particulates for subsequent removal by the filtration unit, said burner means including a burner chamber communicating with the duct means for receiving the fumes from the vessel, and at least one burner for emitting a flame into said burner chamber;
• and
• a cooling chamber located between the burner chamber and filtration unit for cooling the fumes before said fumes enter the filtration unit, said cooling chamber including a substantially air-tight housing formed with at least one opening in an upper portion thereof communicating with the burner chamber for receiving the fumes from said burner chamber whereby the flame is located adjacent said one opening for separating the burner chamber from the cooling chamber.

A system for reducing the transmission of noxious fumes emanating from a heated material into the surrounding atmosphere during the application of a liquid roofing product, said system including:

• a mobile vessel adapted to contain a supply of liquid roofing product and having a first frame for supporting the vessel;
• a mobile filtration unit separate from the vessel and having a plurality of filters, having a first and a second end wherein an inlet is positioned adjacent the first end and an outlet is positioned adjacent the second end, and whereby fumes move through the filtration unit from the first end toward the second end and having a second frame for supporting the filtration unit distinct from the first frame;
• duct means for transferring heated fumes emanating from the roofing product within the vessel into the filtration unit;
• means for moving the heated fumes from the vessel and through the filtration unit to condition the fumes before discharging the fumes into the atmosphere;
• cooling means located between the inlet of the filtration unit and the vessel for cooling the heated fumes to facilitate the removal of certain portions of the fumes by the filtration unit including a cooling chamber communicating with the duct means and filtration unit for receiving the heated fumes from the vessel, and at least one air intake opening for supplying outside ambient air into the cooling chamber for cooling the heated fumes before said fumes enter the filtration unit;
• and
• burner means located between the cooling chamber and the duct means for converting certain portions of the heated fumes into dry particulates for subsequent removal by the filtration unit.

• and
• burner means includes an open flame located within a burner chamber;
• and in which a flame barrier separates the burner chamber from the cooling chamber.

• said vessel including a first mobile vehicle having a storage tank adapted to contain the supply of the heated material;
• a second mobile vehicle for receiving a supply of the heated material from the first mobile vehicle, and a second duct means extending from said second mobile vehicle to the cooling means for transmitting fumes from said second mobile vehicle to the cooling means;
• and
• a heated kettle for receiving and heating material from the first mobile vehicle prior to supplying said material to the second mobile vehicle, and third duct means extending from the heated kettle to the cooling means for transmitting fumes from the material in said heated kettle to the cooling means.
