Abstract
A method of combustion of animal wastes to avoid release of objectionable odors and to obtain useful products from the animal wastes involving the drying of animal waste in a primary heat exchange dryer, mixing the dried animal waste material with a combustible fuel and moving the mix of dried waste and combustible fuel to a burner assembly of a furnace for burning, the exhaust from the primary heat exchange dryer being collected so that gases in the exhaust are used as combustion air for the burner assembly and with exhaust from the burner assembly housing being separated into fly ash and acceptably clean exhaust.
Claims5
A method of disposing of animal waste comprising the steps of
- drying animal waste in a dryer;
- combining said dried animal waste with a supplemental combustible fuel;
- burning said combined dried animal waste and said supplemental combustible fuel;
- directing heat from said burning into the dryer;
- directing heated water vapor and gases generated in the dryer during burning of said dried animal waste and said supplemental fuel into a first separator;
- separating said gasses from said water vapor;
- collecting dried ash left upon burning of said dried animal waste and supplemental combustible fuel;
- directing exhaust from burning of said dried animal waste and said supplemental fuel into a second separator;
- separating solids from gases resulting from burning of said dried animal waste and said supplemental combustion fuel;
- recirculating gasses separated from water vapor in said first separator into said burner assembly housing as combustion air for the burning of animal waste and supplemental combustible fuel.
