THERMAL OXIDIZER AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME

摘要

In a fume incinerator (10) for eliminating combustible fumes from an oxygen bearing process gas stream (1) a first portion (11) of the oxygen bearing process gas (1) is passed to a burner (30) and serves as the source of oxygen for combusting an auxiliary fuel (9) to establish a flame front (28) within the incinerator. The remainder (13) of the process gas stream (1) is passed through the flame front for incineration of any abnoxious fumes contained therein.
