  • Patent number: 10612777
    Abstract: A plurality of dry distillation furnaces (2a), (2b) are provided for a single combustion furnace (4). When wastes (A) in the dry distillation furnace (2a) are subjected to dry distillation to produce a combustible gas and introduce the combustible gas into the combustion furnace (4) to burn, control is carried out such that a temperature (Tc) in the combustion furnace (4) becomes a first temperature. When the temperature (Tc) in the combustion furnace (4) is the first temperature, the presence of the wastes (A) in the dry distillation furnace (2b) is detected, the wastes (A) in the dry distillation furnace (2b) are ignited to subject the wastes (A) to dry distillation thereby to produce a combustible gas, and the introduction of the combustible gas into the combustion furnace (4) is started.

  • Patent number: 8789478
    Abstract: Provided is a dry distillation and gasification typed incinerator capable of saving time and fuels required for combustion aid. In a first phase when a waste material A stored in a dry distillation furnace 1 is ignited till a fire bed is formed, the dry distillation and gasification typed incinerator supplies air to the dry distillation furnace 1 through an air supply passage 13. When the waste material A is in a continuous combustion state (a second phase), the oxygen supply to the dry distillation furnace 1 is switched from the air supply by the air supply passage 13 to the concentrated oxygen supply by an oxygen supply passage 15.

  • Patent number: 7318382
    Abstract: There is provided a method of incinerating a waste material to process incineration residues produced in a gasification furnace easily with existing equipment. A combustible gas generated when a waste material A is dry-distilled in a gasification furnace 1 is introduced into a combustion furnace 3 and combusted therein. The combustible gas is generated in the gasification furnace 1 in order to keep the temperature in the combustion furnace 3 at a temperature capable of melting incineration residues. The incineration residues are charged into the combustion furnace 3 while the combustible gas is being combusted therein, and melted into a melted material B that is discharged from an outlet 3 of the combustion furnace 3 into a receptacle 33 in which the melted material B is solidified. Air supplied to an air jacket 6 and oxygen supplied to the gasification furnace 1 and the combustion furnace 3 are heated by a heat exchange with waste gases from the combustion furnace 3.

  • Patent number: 6746497
    Abstract: A waste is dry-distilled in a gasification furnace and generated combustible gas is combusted in a combustion furnace. A temperature in the combustion furnace is set to be substantially constant at a first preset temperature or more. When the temperature in the combustion furnace is greater than the first preset temperature by combustion of other fuels, the combustible gas is introduced. When the temperature in the combustion furnace reaches a second preset temperature or more by the combustion of only the combustible gas, the combustion of the other fuels is finished. When the temperature in the combustion furnace falls below a third preset temperature the combustion of the other fuels is resumed. When the temperature in the gasification furnace falls below a fourth preset temperature, the combustion of the other fuels is finished.

  • Patent number: 5653180
    Abstract: A waste material such as waste tires is incinerated by dry distillation and gasification in gasification and combustion furnaces. The waste material in the gasification furnace is determined as having been ignited when the temperature of a combustible gas in the combustion furnace is detected by a temperature sensor as having reached a temperature at which the combustible gas is capable of spontaneous combustion within a predetermined time period after an igniting nozzle stops supplying combustion flames to the waste material in the gasification furnace. If the waste material is not determined as having been ignited, then the igniting nozzle is controlled to supply combustion flames again to the waste material in the gasification furnace.

  • Patent number: 5619938
    Abstract: A waste material in a first gasification furnace is thermally decomposed through dry distillation, producing a combustible gas, which is introduced into and combusted in a first combustion furnace, and the produced heat of combustion is imparted to a heat source of a boiler. The opening of a valve connected to the first gasification furnace is controlled to supply oxygen required to thermally decompose the waste material in order to keep the combustion temperature of the combustible gas in the first combustion furnace at a substantially constant combustion temperature upon the dry distillation in the first gasification furnace. When the opening of the valve increases and becomes greater than a predetermined opening at an ending stage of the dry distillation in the first gasification furnace, a waste material in a second gasification furnace is thermally decomposed through dry distillation, producing a combustible gas.

  • Patent number: 5445087
    Abstract: An apparatus for incinerating a waste material by processing the waste material through dry distillation and gasification has a gasification furnace for storing a waste material therein and burning a portion of the waste material and thermally decomposing the remainder of the waste material by way of dry distillation with the heat of combustion of the portion of the waste material, thereby producing a combustible gas, and a combustion furnace connected to the gasification furnace through a gas introduction passage for mixing, with oxygen, the combustible gas introduced therein from the gasification furnace through the gas introduction passage and combusting the combustible gas mixed with the oxygen, the combustion furnace having a gas inlet port connected to the gas introduction passage. An oxygen supply device supplies the combustion furnace with an amount of oxygen required to combust the combustible gas into the combustion furnace while generating a swirling oxygen flow around the gas inlet port.

  • Patent number: 5213051
    Abstract: A waste material such as waste tires is incinerated by way of dry distillation and gasification. In a gasification furnace, a portion of the waste material is burned and the remainder is thermally decomposed by dry distillation with the heat of combustion, producing a combustible gas. A combustion furnace combusts the combustible gas introduced from the gasification furnace. The gasification furnace is supplied with an amount of oxygen required to burn the portion of the waste material and to thermally decompose the remainder while at the same time the amount of oxygen supplied to the gasification furnace is controlled to maintain, at a substantially constant value, the temperature of the combustible gas during the dry distillation of the waste material. The gasification furnace is also supplied with an amount of oxygen to accelerate the combustion and ashing of the waste material when the dry distillation is finished.
