A multipurpose incinerator designed for islands
The Smart Ash H, a multipurpose incinerator that uses a 55 gallon drum for a bum chamber, has been designed for use on islands and remote areas where trash build up and/or waste oil can be a problem. The Smart Ash II is unique because it can eliminate a variety of waste. Dry materials or materials with high BTU value like filters, wood by products, oily rags, etc, are burned clean and smoke free by simply lighting the load and turning on the system.
Material with high-moisture content, like restaurant waste, or wet rubbish is burned by using the waste oil injection system which adds oil to the load as the bum progresses. In other words, the waste oil can be used as fuel for the wet incinerator. The oil injection system serves two purposes; It allows the incineration of moist products that would otherwise have been a disposal problem and it eliminates waste oil that can be an environmental problem for the island.
The amount of oil used for the bum can be regulated between three gallons per hour and six gallons per hour. An added bonus with the Smart Ash II is a clean, smoke free exhaust from the bum chamber. Air is forced into the bum chamber at high velocity, creating a cyclone of intense heat The intense heat, swirling in the chamber, assures a smoke free exhaust when the load is burning. Combustion is complete, reducing the volume of materials to approximately three per cent ash. The large number of incinerators sold around the world attest to the effectiveness of the Smart Ash II system. The manufacturer regularly receives letters of praise for the Smart Ash II multipurpose incinerator, describing how the unit effectively eliminated problems of waste disposal in the writeris area. Users include file US Air Force, the US Navy, the Army Corps of Engineers, and many villages and towns in remote locations. The manufacturer of Smart Ash II also produces a medical waste incinerator for small, batch load applications.
