The cyclonic combustion concept, which provides high combustion- intensity and high combustion-efficiency with low excess air, offers many advantages for waste incineration over commercially available incinerators. The cyclonic incinerator allows better mixing and temperature uniformity, higher destruction efficiency, a wider range of operating parameters, greater flexibility to variation in waste properties, dry ash and/or molten slag operation, and more efficient heat recovery at reduced capital and operating costs. On the basis of successful results of the pilot-scale tests, the cyclonic incineration demonstration system has been jointly developed and operated by the Institute of Gas Technology (IGT), York-Shipley, Inc. (Y-S), and an industrial client. The demonstration system consisted of a wastewater handling subsystem; a compact cyclonic incinerator with an ash/slag receiver, capable of operating either in dry or slagging modes; a heat recovery boiler; an air heater; and a baghouse. 7 figs., 3 tabs.
