  • Patent number: 6422159
    Abstract: An incinerator has a combustion vessel, a base trap and an afterburner. The combustion vessel has a combustion chamber, an exhaust leading from the chamber, an air intake leading to the chamber, and a gas intake leading to the chamber. Fresh air is mixed with burning propane gas to elevate the temperature to incinerate waste with little ash. Household waste burns in the chamber generating flue gas that is moved from the chamber to the base trap where it is cooled. The cooled flue gas is moved from the base trap through a filter to the afterburner where it is oxygenated and burned prior to release to the atmosphere.
