Solid waste incinerator system

Abstract

A system and for incinerating solid waste material that generates energy and minimal emissions. The incinerator system of the present disclosure is modular and may be configured to fit within a desired location. The system accepts raw solid material and processes, dries and ignites the waste material in an, optionally automated process.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A solid waste incinerator system comprising:
 a solid waste receiving system;   a waste dryer, wherein the dryer further comprises a rotating drum, a plurality of ribs, and a condensation removal system mounted within the rotating drum;   a pulverizer;   a fuel material transportation system;   an incinerator, wherein the incinerator further comprises an air jet system to aid continuous combustion of the waste material;   a boiler system, wherein the boiler system comprises at least one rotating cleaning rod; and,   an emissions control system.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a heat exchange system, wherein at least a portion of an exhaust from the boiler system is used to provide heat to the waste dryer. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , where the solid waste receiving system comprises a conveyor mechanism to transport solid waste to the waste dryer. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , where the conveyor mechanism includes bag ripper and a waste inspection area. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating drum is rotated by a drive motor in communication with a chain. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating drum has a multi-wall construction. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said fuel material transportation system further comprises at least one draft fan, wherein said draft fan transfers the fuel material pneumatically. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said incinerator has a solid refractory material housing with said housing having sidewalls engaged to a top wall. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said boiler system comprises a plurality of tubes with said tubes in communication with an exhaust outlet. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating cleaning rods have an elongated square shaft positioned coaxially within a rotating cylinder. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating cleaning rods comprise a wire brush. 
     
     
         12 . The boiler system of  claim 1 , wherein said rotating cleaning rods are adjacent to the exhaust outlet and opposite the boiler. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said emission control system is equipped with a series of spray fans wherein said spray fans mist exhaust to capture particles in the exhaust. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said the heat form the boiler is captured at a heat exchanger before entering the emission control system. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the pulverizer reduces waste to a size determined by an operator. 
     
     
         16 . A solid waste incinerator system comprising:
 a solid waste receiving system;   a waste dryer, wherein the dryer further comprises a rotating drum, a plurality of ribs, and a condensation removal system mounted within the rotating drum;   a pulverizer;   a fuel material transportation system;   an incinerator, wherein the incinerator further comprises an air jet system to aid continuous combustion of the waste material;   a heat exchange system;   a boiler system, wherein the boiler system comprises at least one rotating cleaning rod; and,   an emissions control system.   
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the heat exchange system comprises one or more coils of heat exchange piping disposed within a wall of the incinerator. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17  wherein an exterior surface of the one or more coils of heat exchange piping is contacted by a resilient material. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 16  wherein the heat exchange system further comprises one or more circulator pumps in communication with one or more thermo-pressure switches, wherein said circulator pumps regulate the pressure of steam within the piping. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15  wherein the wherein the pulverizer reduces waste to small pieces, wherein the size of waste is determined by an operator.
