Abstract: The present embodiments provide an incinerator which includes a system for reducing NOx and CO emissions. A computational fluid dynamics module is configured to generate a plurality of models related to a plurality of incinerator parameters. A programmable logic controller dynamically maintains a plurality of set points. Further, the programmable logic controller receives a plurality of output signals from a plurality of sensors and compares the plurality of output signals with the plurality of set points. The programmable logic controller is further to affect an amount of above-fire combustion air, an amount of under-fire combustion air, and an amount of above-fire and under-fire flue gas recirculation to reduce NOx emissions produced by the incinerator.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system for the dynamic movement of waste through an incinerator. The system includes a stepped hearth combustion chamber, an input to receive a combustible material, and an output to permit egress of a product of combustion. A plurality of sensing elements and response elements are in communication with a control system to facilitate the automated movement of the combustible material through the stepped hearth combustion chamber.
