Design and Calculation of a New Unit for Thermal Treatment and Energy Utilization of Gas Wastes

This paper presents a comprehensive theoretical as well as experimental investigation of a new incineration unit for thermal treatment of volatile gases diluted in air. The unique design of this unit is described, using an actual experimental device, which has been constructed to further investigate design and operational options of this new equipment. A simplified mathematical model and a CFD simulation of the unit are presented. The experimental and modeling results are discussed and compared and some conclusions are drawn. Directions of further research on this new equipment modeling and design are defined.
