Abstract: An apparatus for destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) includes an assembly 10 for collecting VOCs from at least one source of VOCs and an assembly 12 for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs. The apparatus also includes an assembly for transporting collected VOCs from the assembly 10 for collecting VOCs to the assembly 12 for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs. Additionally, an assembly 14 for monitoring the assembly for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs is provided. A device controls the feed of collected VOCs to the assembly 12 for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs and the operation of the assembly 12 for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs as a function of one another such that the proportion of the collected VOCs to the primary fuel in the fuel combination is below a predetermined limit which varies with respect to the combustion rate of the assembly 12 for thermodynamically destroying collected VOCs.

Abstract: An ignitor assembly for a fossil fuel-fired power generation system includes an elongate electrode, a tube sub assembly, and a coupling sub assembly, and an insulator sub assembly. The coupling sub assembly cooperates with other structural elements of the ignitor assembly and the respective windbox in which the ignitor assembly is installed to operably couple the elongate electrode to an external electrical power source. The ignitor assembly includes a contact socket secured by crimping to a lead of the external electrical power source which is biased into an electric current communicating disposition with the electrode rod of the ignitor assembly.

Abstract: A gas pipe ignitor 10 is provided which is operable to ignite a non-premixed air and fuel mixture and includes an air supply conduit 20 which has an axis ASL, a supply end 22, and a flame end 24 axially spaced from the supply end 22. The gas pipe ignitor also includes a fuel supply conduit 26 extending axially interiorly within at least a portion of the air supply conduit 20 and having an entrance end 28 and an exit end 30. The gas pipe ignitor further includes two branch passages 32 each communicated with the fuel supply conduit 26. The gas pipe ignitor also includes a deflector body 38 disposed in the air supply conduit 20 and is configured relative to the air supply conduit 20 such that air flowing in the air supply conduit 20 flows along a pass through passage PTP from upstream of the upstream most surface 40 of the deflector body 38 to downstream of the deflector body 38.
