The invention relates to devices for disposal of solid and/or liquid waste, in particular, to devices for disposing waste by ionic-electronic destruction method. The invention broadens a range of devices for treating waste, and has an enlarged area of formation of corona discharge streamers, avoiding a need for a source of high-voltage pulses. The technical effect is attained by a device for ionic-electronic destruction of waste. The device includes a waste feed unit, a source of electrically charged substance particles, a suction air fan, an output tube, and a reactor. The reactor is implemented as a closed cavity with an input opening connected to the waste feed unit, with an output opening for removing gaseous destruction products connected to the output tube, and with an additional input opening connected to an outlet of the source of electrically charged substance particles.

An apparatus comprises a vessel having an interior chamber formed by a vessel wall. The vessel wall comprises a double-walled structure having an inner wall and an outer wall. A moveable lid is configured to form an airtight seal with the interior chamber in a closed position. A basket is positioned within the chamber. One or more vibration devices, such as transducers, are attached to the basket. A heating coil is positioned within the chamber and surrounding the basket. The heating coil is configured to heat the basket using induction heating. An airtight space is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall and is filled with a gas. The temperature within the chamber may be lowered by cooling the gas.

A thermochemical system & method may be configured to convert an organic feedstock to various products. A thermochemical system may include a solid material feed module, a reactor module, an afterburner module, and a solid product finishing module. The various operational parameters (temperature, pressure, etc.) of the various modules may vary depending on the desired products. The product streams may be gaseous, vaporous, liquid, and/or solid.

Provided is a combustible waste treatment method capable of suppressing the falling rate of even combustible waste having relatively poor combustibility into a clinker during combustion.

The combustible waste treatment method includes: blowing first combustible waste having flammability into a kiln from a first waste burner disposed at a position vertically above a main burner blowing main fuel; and blowing second combustible waste having flame retardancy into the kiln from a second waste burner disposed at a position vertically above the first waste burner.

Cogeneration plant for the continuous production of electrical and thermal energy from solid woody biomass, the latter being selected from among wood in the form of woodchips, vine branches, shrubs and underbrush, grain, hay, animal litter, suitably-treated muds, shells and kernels, suitably-treated husks, fibrous cultures and compositions thereof, the plant including at least one first container and at least one second container connected by at least one interconnection duct, the first container including the components suitable for inducing the transformation of the biomass into syngas including H.sub.2 and CO; the plant providing for a particular step of screening, drying and briquette-making on board the machine of the solid woody starting biomass.

A method is provided for thermally processing waste to produce steam and generate energy while minimizing air pollutants in a staged thermal reactor. The method includes gasifying the waste to convert the waste to a fuel gas and a substantially carbon free, inert, granulated, sintered mineral ash and reforming the fuel gas auto-thermally to minimize creation of nitrogen oxide when the fuel gas is combusted. The method further includes burning the reformed fuel gas to minimize creation of nitrogen oxide in a flame region of a fuel gas burner and recirculating cooled flue gas to control oxygen content and temperature during the reforming operation and the burning operation. In one example, reforming the fuel gas converts non-molecular nitrogen species into molecular nitrogen in an auto-thermal non-catalytic reformer unit by decomposition reactions promoted by a prevailing reducing gas atmosphere.

A combustion/carbonizing system which comprises a base frame and a combustion chamber frame which is pivotably attached to the base frame. The combustion chamber frame defines an open top combustion chamber having a bottom perforated plate. A plenum is formed below the perforated plate for collecting biochar which passes therethrough. A first source of combustion air is supplied across the top of the combustion chamber while a second source of combustion air passes through the perforated plate into the combustion chamber. The combustion/carbonizing system is capable of operating in a continuous manner for combustion wood or waste material to the desired degree required by the end user for the purpose of reducing the volume of the material as well as the associated emissions while generating valuable char and boichar as an end product. For some applications, the combustion/carbonizing system may be operated to combust completely the wood or waste material.

A stoker-type incinerator includes: a recirculated exhaust gas supply unit which allows exhaust gas resulting from treating combustion gas to reflux to a combustion gas channel via a recirculated exhaust gas nozzle provided on the combustion gas channel and supplies the exhaust gas as recirculated exhaust gas. The stoker-type incinerator further includes a secondary combustion air supply unit which supplies secondary combustion air on a downstream side of the recirculated exhaust gas nozzle on the combustion gas channel via a secondary combustion air nozzle provided on the combustion gas channel, in which the recirculated exhaust gas nozzle and the secondary combustion air nozzle are arranged in different positions in a plan view.
