PORTABLE COMBUSTION SYSTEM WITH FIRST AND SECOND AIR SOURCES
20190277495 · 2019-09-12 ·

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.

Apparatus for incinerating explosive devices and biological agents

An incinerator has a spherical chamber body to define an incineration chamber and includes a port structure with an opening that provides access to the incineration chamber. A hatch is pivotably attached to the port structure to provide access to the opening or to close the opening in the port structure. An incendiary device support member located within the incineration chamber to hold an ignitable incendiary device. A flammable panel member is located within the incineration chamber and positioned over the incendiary device support member. The panel member supports IEDs, explosive devices or biological agents for incineration. When the ignitable incendiary device is ignited, thermal energy is produced to incinerate the IEDs, explosive devices or biological agents positioned on the panel member.

Portable Flare

The Portable Flare is comprised of a pilot assembly, an air tube assembly, a burn gas tube assembly, a flame tube, a control system, a transport assembly, and a hydraulic lift. The pilot assembly is comprised of pilot gas supplied from the well site, a pilot gas supply line, a low-pressure regulator, a pressure measurement tap, a valve, a burner, an ignitor, and a pilot thermocouple. The temperature of the flame is controlled by monitoring the main burn thermocouple and adjusting the air flow with the blower that forces air up the air tube to mix with the burn gas.

Hand-held medication and electronic waste incinerator

A hand-held, disposable incinerator for medications and electronic storage media includes a body and a lid, a layer of insulation, and a chemical burn agent, which on ignition produces both heat and oxygen to destroy the contents. Exhaust gases pass through a non-combustible filter to remove most solid particles and contaminants, followed by a second, higher-efficiency filter. Hot gases exiting from the incinerator then desirably ignite again from their own heat, consuming remaining volatile organic matter distilled from the items being destroyed. An igniter, which may be a fuse, a pull-tab-activated pyrotechnic delay or an electronically remote-triggered igniter, provides a delay for the safety of the person using the incinerator. Heat generated within the burn chamber decomposes most organic materials, melts soft metals including aluminum and electronic solder, and renders data storage devices unreadable. At least an inner portion of the device may be safely discarded.
