A heating device includes a flexible housing that defines a plurality of heater segments. Each heater segment includes a first compartment containing a first reactant, a second compartment containing a second reactant, and a frangible seal between the first compartment and the second compartment. The first reactant and the second reactant are configured to react exothermically upon contact with one another.

A system and method for generating an incubated bacteria solution by heating a nutrient germinant composition and bacteria, including at least one species in spore form, to a preferred temperature a range of 35-50° C. for 2-60 minutes using exothermic chemical reaction heat. An incubated bacteria solution is preferably generated at or near a point-of-use in an aquaculture, agriculture, wastewater, or environmental remediation application. The nutrient-germinant composition comprises L-amino acids, optionally D-glucose and/or D-fructose, a buffer, an industrial preservative, and may include bacteria spores (preferably of one or more Bacillus species) or they may be separately combined for incubation. A first chemical contained in a pouch is activated by contact with a second chemical, water, or air in a flameless heater to initiate exothermic reaction to provide incubation heat. A potable, single-use incubation bag is configured to hold the flameless heater and a container of nutrient germinant composition and spores.

An improved flameless, non-electric chafing dish and an improved flameless non-electric heat source for use in connection therewith is provided. The chafing dish assembly includes a support frame for supporting the chafing dish on a serving surface, a lower (water) pan positioned on the support frame and having a bottom and one or more side walls, a food pan configured to nest inside the lower pan and having a bottom and one or more side walls, and an air-activated exothermic warming device positioned between the lower pan and the food pan. The warming device comprises a mixture of materials including iron which produce heat from the exothermic oxidation of iron when exposed to air. A support device configured for positioning between the air-activated exothermic warming device and the lower (water) pan is also provided. The support device is configured to permit airflow to the warming device and to elevate the warming device into direct contact with the food pan.
