Description:
The Pyretron is a burner which is designed to allow for the injection of oxygen into the combustion air stream for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of a hazardous waste incinerator. The SITE demonstration of the Pyretron took place at the U.S. EPA's Combustion Research Facility (CRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas from November 16, 1987 to January 29, 1988. Two Pyretron burners were installed on the Rotary Kiln System (RKS) at the CRF for the demonstration. One was installed on the kiln and one on the afterburner. Valve trains for supplying these burners with controllable flows of auxiliary fuel, oxygen, and air; and a computerized process control system were also provided.
