The purpose of the start-up burner is to ignite waste substances and to maintain the prescribed minimal
temperature in the main chamber. It shall be mounted at the lower portion of the principal chamber.
- The start-up burner shall function automatically when:-
– Pre-heating is completed, or after attaining the flexible minimum temperature in the thermal reactor.
– The temperature in the principal chamber has dropped below the flexible minimum value (e.g. 300? C). This can
happen when a lot of damp waste material is to be combusted.
– The start-up burner shall be of one-stage burner with pre-ventilation, working on the principle of an oil
atomizer for diesel oil, consisting of:-
– Fan housing with flexible air intake.
– Air closed damper with actuating drive
– Burner tubing with burner link and insulating flanges
– Burner plate with automatic oil firing sequence control, ignition transformer
– Electric nozzle pole with quick closure gate valve, electrode block, baffle plate.
- The mounting point of the waste ignition burner shall be fitted with a manually operated sliding closure plate
to protect the burner head once the flame is not being used. The slide plate shall be interlocked with the burner ignition
controllers to offer operation of the burner once the slide plate is not in the fully open position.
The purpose of the reactor burner is to ignite low temperature carbonization gases and to maintain the prescribed
- Reactor Burner
minimum temperature at the thermal reactor at all times but mainly during periods when the energy content of the
carbonization gases is low (pre-heat, post combustion period ). It shall be mounted in the entry area of the thermal
reactor.
The reactor burner shall modulate between partial load and total load and automatically operate when:
– The temperature at the thermal reactor drops below the adjustable minimum operating value (e.g. 1000?
– The temperature in the thermal reactor drops below the adjustable minimum operating value (e.g. 1000?C) (full
load)
