Abstract: The invention relates to a two stage process for the thermal treatment of wastes consisting of a batch gasification process followed by a syngas combustion process. A system and method are provided comprising of one or more first process stage batch gasification chambers (1) which are connected to a common second process stage chamber, the syngas combustion chamber, or alternatively a syngas conditioning chamber (13) and afterwards a combustion of the syngas in either a combustion chamber, reciprocating engine, boiler, gas turbine or an internal combustion device. The process can also be used to process biomass and fuels by gasification. The gasification chamber (1) has separated nozzle areas corresponding to plenum sections of the bottom where a mixture of air and recirculated flue-gas (8) is blown under the combustible material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a regulated two stage thermal oxidation of waste and applications to use such a process for energy generation. A system and a method are provided comprising a set up of one or more gasification chambers, which are connected via ductwork to a combustion chamber to burn the waste material. The waste is loaded into the gasification chamber(s) and ignited there and the gas, which is generated by the sub-stoichiometric combustion in the gasification chamber is fully combusted in the secondary combustion chamber at a very high temperature. The time used for the burn down period is decreased and controlled by several air and gas flow factors of the system of the present invention.
