A method and apparatus, for improving the control and the efficiency of in-situ combustion (i.e. burning of oil spills atop bodies of water) of combustible waste materials on land or sea to cleanup such waste, that is also less complex than similar apparatuses, whereby the apparatus traverses over a surface containing combustible material, allowing for vortex flow incineration of the material to occur inside a combustion chamber, aided by a vortical flow of air which is controlled for greater combustion efficiency. Compared with current methods and apparatuses to cleanup similar waste, the present method requires minimal moving parts, is mobile, is low cost, is easy to construct, enables high-quality combustion, burns faster and more complete, produces low emissions, incinerates waste material on land and water, and mitigates the creation of combustion residue which thereby mitigates the adverse effects of such combustion residue that smothers ocean life.

Provided is a cyclonic plasma melting furnace. A melting furnace chamber body includes an inlet through which waste is input and an outlet through which air or gas is discharged. The outlet is provided in a direction opposite to the inlet. At least one plasma torch is provided on the melting furnace chamber body so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a direction in which the air or the gas is discharged through the outlet.

A combustor for burning waste material includes a horizontally extended combustion chamber through which a mixture of waste material and air is introduced under pressure tangentially for establishing a vortical movement of the waste material, and is ignited during its vortical movement. A second discharge port extends for discharging from the chamber non-combustible waste material, to a separator which separates the discharged gases and solid material. A secondary air manifold supplies air through controlled dampers at portals positioned at intervals along the length of the chamber. An adjustable baffle is mounted internally on the flue adjacent its open end for deflecting outwardly toward the side wall any combustible material not yet destroyed. A recuperator is mounted externally to the chamber on the exhaust flue, supplying heated air used with primary air flow. Additionally, control means are provided for the use of sensors to monitor the chamber conditions.
