An exemplary embodiment provides a regenerative burner apparatus. The apparatus includes a burner housing having a gas channel extending there-through, and a single-stage heat regenerator equipped with a housing enclosing a fluid-porous heat regenerative media bed having an upper surface and a lower surface. The housing has an opening communicating with the exterior of the apparatus. A first gas passageway in said housing directly interconnects the gas channel of the burner housing and the lower surface of the heat regenerative media bed. A second gas passageway in the housing interconnects the opening in the housing communicating with the exterior and the upper surface of the heat regenerative media bed. The first and second gas passageways are in communication with each other only through the heat regenerative media bed. This arrangement allows hot waste combustion gases to pass upwardly through the media bed so that any condensable contaminant in the gases condenses to a liquid in the media bed and flows out of the bed under gravity before becoming solid. The liquid contaminant may then be removed from the regenerator from a position below the media bed. |
