  • Combustion apparatus for highly energetic materials
    Patent number: 5881654
    Abstract: The specification describes a system for the thermal treatment of energetic materials which generate a tremendous volume of gaseous products upon combustion. The system includes a containment system which maintains an interface between hot exhaust gas products and a cooler gas, yet allows the relatively slow removal and treatment of the exhaust gas products from the containment system while permitting the inflow of gas into the containment system to replace an equivalent volume of exhaust gas products removed therefrom.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 1998
    Date of Patent: March 16, 1999
    Assignee: International Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Jeff L. Fleming, Michael P. Barkdoll, Richard Westbrook, Chris E. McBride
