APPARATUS FOR GASIFICATION AND COMBUSTION OF ANIMAL WASTE, HUMAN WASTE AND/OR BIOMASS

摘要

Apparatus for the combustion of organic waste (40) using a moving grate (18) over a stationary perforated plate (14) to convert organic waste into usable energy. Unprocessed fuel is fed into the combustion chamber through a feed hopper (12) by a moving grate being continuously pulled over a stationary perforated plate. Raw fuel is metered using a guillotine gate apparatus (24) to control the depth of the fuel bed on the moving grate. Temperature controlled combustion air is directed under the stationary perforated plate into discreet controllable under fire air zones (16) to initiate and drive the combustion process. The under fire air is forced through the stationary perforated plate up through the moving grate into the moving bed of fuel. Additional temperature controlled combustion air is directed above the fuel bed to the over fire air nozzles (20) positioned at strategic locations in the combustion chamber for complete combustion and emission control.
