Definitions

  • the combustion gases after flowing through the combustible material, may be flowed through a porous media prior to being emitted into the atmosphere to thereby further clean and deodorize the gases.
  • the method of this invention may be conducted in pits in field operations or in assembled units on a commercial level or in households.
  • This invention relates to the burning of combustibles such as refuse.
  • the method of this invention employes a closed environment in which combustible material is placed so as to provide an air permeable mass.
  • the mass is fired by electrical resistance electrodes or gas/air methods. While the combustible material burns, air under pressure is forced through the mass, thereby aerating the mass and carrying the burning process and products of combustion through the mass. In this way, the combustible material is used to filter and cool the products of combustion. Burning of the refuse may be postponed until the air passing through the combustible material has reduced the moisture content of the material to a desired level.
  • a removable, non-combustible top is placed over the unit opening and is sealed about its periphery to form a substantially airtight cover. Air is continuously blown into the space between the cover and the combustible material until the air pressure above the combustible material is sufficient to force the air supported fire and combustion gases downwardly through the combustible material.
  • the combustion unit is an underground or open pit cell
  • the combustion gases are forced outwardly from adjacent the bottom of the combustible mass and through the surrounding earth which acts first as a heat exchanger to reduce the temperatures of the combustion gases and secondly as a combined bio-mechanical-chemical filter to remove gaseous components and particulate matter which would pollute the surrounding atmosphere.
  • a portion of the surrounding earth is treated to improve the aforementioned filtration (by the soil) of the combustion products.
  • combustion gases are generally withdrawn from the bottom of the combustion chamber and are then preferably passed first through porous media functioning as both a filter and a heat exchanger and thereafter through organically-treated media before being exhausted to the atmosphere.
  • combustion gases are forced to pass through the aerated combustible mass prior to entering the atmosphere, several advantages over presently-used burning methods are realized.
  • the passage of the combustion gases through the combustible mass further oxidizes the combustion products thereby making the combustion process more complete.
  • Some undersirable components, such as carbon monoxide, are oxidized to a more desirable form, for example, carbon dioxide, before entering the atmosphere.
  • the unburnt portion of the refuse is pre-dryed by the combustion gases by the burning portion.
  • Such drying removes moisture from the combustible material prior to burning thereby permitting carbonization and hotter burning temperatures which produce substantially complete oxidation of the combustible material.
  • a relatively dense, slag-like residue can be produced by the method of this invention. Because of its high density, this residue can be compacted .so that substantially no settlement occurs even after extended periods of time so that it makes good landfill material. Additionally, because the residue contains substantially little unburned material, toxic decomposition gases, which cause ground and air pollution, are substantially eliminated thereby adding to the usefulness of the residue for land fill.
  • the forcing of combustion gases through the combustible mass enables the exiting gases to be filtered by the soil adjacent to the combustion pits in field operations without the need for costly apparatus.
  • the soil is an inexpensive and effective filter. Use of adjacent soil in field operations to further filter the combustion gases, produces a gaseous product which has substantially no odor and substantially no air pollutants.
  • the method of this invention has equal utility when applied to the burning of either large or small volumes of combustible material and permits the use of a relatively simple and inexpensive combustion unit construction.
  • FIGURES la, lb and 1c are cross-sectional views of a combustion unit containing a combustible mass showing the buming process of this invention at different times.
  • FIGURE 2 is a cross-sectional view showing field operation burning by the method of this invention including the use of soil adjacent the combustion chamber as a filter medium for the combustion gases.
  • FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view of a fabricated unit for burning combustible material continuously by the method of this invention.
  • the combustion method of this invention basically comprises forcing air through combustible material which is to be incinerated while simultaneously burning the combustible material.
  • the flow of air is sufflcient to force substantially all of the gases and particulate matter produced from the combustion of the material through the combustible material.
  • the unused portion of the combustible material acts as a mechanical, chemical and biological filter with respect to the combustion gases and particulate matter with the result that substantially no toxic gases, e.g., sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, or particulate matter escape from the combustible material and with the result that the combustion gases are substantialy cleaner", that is, they contain substantially smaller amounts of matter which is harmful to health as compared with the combustion gases produced by the standard up-draft type of burning.
  • the combustion gases exiting from the combustible material are further filtered and/or treated by flowing the gases through a porous media.
  • the combustion gases are forced out of the refuse and into and through the adjacent soil. Some of the soil through which the combustion gases travel may be treated to enhance filtration of the gases by the soil.
  • the gases are passed from the combustible material through auxiliary filters which may contain soil or other porous filtering material. The gases which are further filtered in this manner have substantially no odor and add little or no pollutants to the atmosphere.
  • Carbon monoxide which is produced from the combustion of the combustible material and which is a health hazard is substantially reduced by oxidation to carbon dioxide. In ordinary burning, such carbon monoxide would escape directly into the atmosphere as essentially carbon monoxide.
  • the carbon monoxide produced as a result of combusting material by this invention is substantially oxidized to carbon dioxide because oxygen has sufficient time to react with the carbon monoxide while the latter flows through the unburned combustible material
  • combustion gases includes both gases which are produced as a result of the burning of the refuse, for example, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen, and gases which may pass unreacted through the refuse, for example, nitrogen and inert gases.
  • gases which may pass unreacted through the refuse, for example, nitrogen and inert gases.
  • filtration refers to either mechanical, chemical or biological reactions in which the combustion gases are cleaned" of air pollutants or deodorized and it refers to any combination of such reactions.
  • the method of this invention will be described in connection with the burning of refuse which includes, for example, paper, rags, grass and leaves.
  • refuse which includes, for example, paper, rags, grass and leaves.
  • the method of this invention is useful for the combustion of, for example, tires, logs, coal, automobile combustibles and plastic materials.
  • this invention will be described for a burning process in which the combustion layer is located at the top of a combustible mass and in which air is forced downwardly through the combustible material to cause the combustion gases to pass downwardly through the combustible material. It will be understood, however, that the advantages of the method of this invention are also realized by burning combustible material upwardly starting from the bottom of the material and by passing air upwardly through the combustible material.
  • Refuse 10 is dumped into a combustion cell, pit or incinerator 11 as shown in FIGURE la.
  • Initial compaction of the refuse may vary over a wide range. It is only necessary that the refuse have sufficient permeability to allow air to flow downwardly through it at moderate air pressures on the order of about 0.05 psig.-20 psig. Refuse having a friction factor of about 3 has given satisfactory results.
  • the air pressure above the refuse 10 is raised to a pressure sufficient to flow downwardly through the refuse and sufficient to carry the combustion gases produced upon combustion of the refuse downwardly through the refuse.
  • the air pressure over the refuse may be varied depending upon whether the air is used for drying the refuse before combustion or whether it is flowed through the refuse during combustion of the refuse.
  • the flow rate of air through the refuse after combustion has been initiated should be sufficient to oxidize substantially all of the carbon monoxide produced upon combustion but should be less than a flow rate which may blow out the refuse fire and/or which may reduce the effectiveness of subsequent filtration.
  • Gas analyses of combustion gases indicate that an air flow rate between about 0.5 and about 30.0 cu. ft./min./sq.ft. (cross-sectional area of flow path) of refuse produces satisfactory results.
  • Air may be passed downwardly through the refuse until the moisture content of the refuse, which may initially have a substantial water content, for example, 50% and higher (dry basis), has preferably been reduced below about 30-40% (dry basis). Below this moisture content, combustion of the refuse is more readily supported and substantially less energy is absorbed from the combustion by the vaporization of water in the refuse, thereby permitting higher combustion temperatures.
  • the refuse With the moisture content of the refuse 10 at a desired level (with or without pre-combustion drying) the refuse is fired by any appropriate means to cause an upper volume 12 of refuse in the combustion cell 11 to burn. As burning continues, substantially all of the combustion gases 13 are forced downwardly from the burning zone 12 by the downwardly moving air. These hot combustion gases 13 further dry the refuse in a zone 14 immediately below the burning zone 12 as shown in FIGURE lb. As burning continues, the temperature of the refuse in the drying zone 14 increases and distillation and carbonizing of the organic matter commences. The refuse in the drying zone 14 (FIGURE lb) then turns to a coke thereby producing a coke zone 15 as shown in FIGURE lc. The refuse immediately below the coke zone 15 is further dried to produce a drying zone 14 as shown in FIGURE lc. Continued burning causes the burning, coke and drying zones 12, 14 and 15 to move progressively downwardly through the cell 11 as the refuse is burned.
  • the initial burning temperature may be as low as about 350F. and as high as about 600F. to 1000F. depending upon the heat equivalent of the burning refuse components and upon the rate of heat loss from the combustion zone. It will also be understood that the combustion temperature may be increased by increasing the air flow into the refuse.
  • the coke usually burns or flashes off at temperatures between about 2000F. to 4000F.
  • the ash residue and coke layers act as a refractory to retain and reflect heat into the lower refuse layers. As the coke layer approaches the bottom of the cell, it is common for the temperatures of the residue coke to rise substantially. This is borne out by the fact that the residue remaining after burning is concluded is a very dense, slag-like material.
  • Burning by the method of this invention is substantially slower (and more thorough) than the burning rates of presently-employed methods. For example, for a particular amount and type of refuse, burning a load by this invention may range from 6 hours to 30 days whereas burning by conventional means may take only lto 2 hours.
  • the result of the described burning mechanism is that a significantly higher volume reduction of the refuse is achieved by the method of this invention as compared to other commonlyemployed methods.
  • organic volume reductions of 99% and higher can be obtained using the method of this invention as compared to organic volume reductions of 85-90% and 50-60% by normal burning where the combustion gases flow upwards and by sanitary land-fill decomposition methods, respectively.
  • the residue is more suitable for land-fill where structures are to be built over the filled areas since it provides better support because of its higher density and because substantially no settling or noxious gas production occurs after combustion since combustion of the refuse is substantially complete.
  • the combustion gases are cleaned and filtered by the coke and virgin refuse layers.
  • the refuse removes substantially all of the particulate matter and toxic gases (95% reduction in S0 from the combustion gases leaving the latter with substantially only a burning refuse odor. This odor may be substantially removed by flowing the combustion gases through a porous media as will be described hereafter.
  • the gases introduced into the atmosphere from the combustible material are therefore substantially cleaner than gases emitted from normally-used methods.
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates the use of this invention for burning refuse in a field combustion unit such as are used by communities.
  • the numberal 20 designates a combustion pit having sidewalls 21 and a bottom or floor 22 and surrounded by natural earth or soil 23.
  • the soil 23 (hereafter referred to as natural soil) preferably has the permeability of loam, that is, a friction factor of about 7 or less, but may be as impermeable as clay. It has been found that, although clay may be substantially impermeable to combustion gases, it can be treated to increase permeability and that the heat generated by combustion of the refuse is sufficient to crack the clay and allow the gases to flow outwardly away from the refuse.
  • a vapor-impermeable liner (not shown) along the walls 21 of the pit 20 to prevent leakage of combustion gases into the natural soil 23 from the refuse adjacent the burning zone of the refuse. Although leakage of combustion gases in this manner is generally not significant, this ensures maximum flow of combustion gases downwardly through the refuse l0.
  • Refuse 10 is dumped into the lined or unlined pit to any desired height.
  • the initial refuse density is not critical except that it must be air permeable; however, less dense refuse, for example, about 400-1200 lb/cu.yd. is desirable to increase the burning rate.
  • a layer of earth 25 is spread over the refuse 10.
  • the depth of the earth layer 25 may vary from 3 to 6 inches and more but must be air permeable.
  • the function of the earth layer 25 is to provide a sanitation layer over the refuse 10 to eliminate temporary open storage odors and to act as a heat shield or refractory to reduce heating of any structure placed over the pit 20. In its latter capacity, the soil layer 25 augments the refractory action ofthe ashes residue from the combustion process as previously desribed.
  • a cover is placed over the pit 20 in sealing relation therewith to prevent pressurized air from escaping into the atmosphere.
  • the cover may comprise a relatively permanent and inflexible roof mounted on wheels moving along tracks adjacent the pit (not shown) so that the cover can be rolled into sealing position over the pit during burning and rolled away for refuse fill.
  • FIGURE 2 A flexible cover 26 which is inexpensive and readily replaced and easily moved into position over the pit 20 is shown in FIGURE 2.
  • the cover 26 comprises a flexible roof section 27 which is affixed at its outer edges to a footing 28, for example, of concrete, circumventing the pit 20, by any suitable means to form a substantially air-tight seal about the pit.
  • the roof 27 may be made from fireproof or fire resistant air-tight fabrics, e.g., asbestos canvas or polyethylene-coated canvas.
  • a roof material which is not fireproof or fire re sistant may be employed in some applications.
  • Air is pumped into the space 30 above the pit 20, which is enclosed by the cover 26, through an air supply pipe 31.
  • the supply pipe 31 is connected at one end to an adjustable blower 32 which supplies pressurized air to the pipe and is connected at the other end to the roof section 27.
  • the walls 21 of the pit 20 may extend up to the earth surface 33 at the footing 28 (not shown) or they may intersect the surface at some distance within the boundary defined by the footing (FIGURE 2). In the latter situation, an annular surface area 34 exists between the pit 20 and the footing 28. Gases escaping from the refuse 10 through the pit walls 21 may pass upwardly through the annular surface 34 and into the air space 30. This is undesirable because mixing the incoming air with the combustion gases decreases the oxygen content of the mixture thereby decreasing the ability of the incoming air to support combustion.
  • any such escaping gases may be prevented from entering the air space by placing a gas-impermeable membrane 36 over the annular surface area 34.
  • a gas-impermeable membrane 36 may be made from polyethylene or other impervious material.
  • the membrane 36 preferably of a fire resistant material may be extended outwardly beyond the footing 28 or employed only beyond the footing as will hereafter be described.
  • refuse 10 is dumped into the pit to a desired depth, for example seven feet, and is covered with a layer of earth 25, for example, one foot deep.
  • the roof 27 is next moved into position over the pit 20 and sealingly secured to the footing 28.
  • Air is then forced by the blower 32 through the air supply pipe 31 into the air space 30.
  • the air pressure in the air space 30 is adjusted to provide a desired air flow rate through the refuse and through the adjacent soil 23.
  • the flow of air downwardly through the refuse is continued until the moisture level in the refuse has been lowered to below about 30% 40% (dry weight basis).
  • the refuse l0 is then ignited near the top of the refuse and burning of the refuse commences as previously described.
  • the combustion gases are forced downwardly by the positive air pressure in the air space 30. After passing through part or all of the depth of refuse 10, the combustion gases flow outwardly from the pit 20 through the adjacent soil 23, wherein the gases are cooled and filtered. The filtered gases thereafter pass into the atmosphere with relatively little odor and contain substantially no air pollutants.

  • the treated soil may comprise, for example, a manure (25%) loam soil admixture.
  • the membrane 36 is extended over the surface above the natural soil 23 but not over the surface above the treated soil 40.
  • a highly compacted soil 41 for example, clay, may be placed under both the natural and treated soils 23, 40. The combustion gases then flow outwardly from the pit as shown in FIGURE 2.
  • the amount of natural soil 23 is adjusted so that the flow path of the combustion gases through the soil is sufficiently long to cool the combustion gases to a temperature below the minimum pasteurization temperature, about 170F. of the treated organic soil 40 before entering the treated soil.
  • the minimum pasteurization temperature is about 170F. but will vary somewhat depending upon the organisms present in the treated soil.
  • the temperature of the combustion gases is also lowered to below the dew point of the gases before they pass into the organically treated soil 40. Lowering the combustion gas temperature below the gas dew point produces moisture which is required by the organisms in the organically-treated soil 40.
  • this water can be supplied by a sprinkling system, a more economical method is provided by allowing the natural soil 23 to cool the gases below their dew point in addition to filtering them. ln this manner, part or all of the preferred amount of moisture in the treated and untreated soils 40, 23 can be supplied by the gases.
  • moisture is removed from the refuse to improve burning and this moisture is transferred to the soils to improve bio-chemical filtration.
  • the moisture content of the filter soils is substantially equal to but less than saturation. Less moisture tends to decrease the efficiency of soil treatment and more moisture hinders the flow of air.

Additionally, the residue from this invention is substantially completely combustible and is relatively hard and incompressible. In contrast, the residue of ordinary burning is a partially-combusted, compressible ash.
