This book was released on 1977 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers the second phase in the design and development program of a new multi-functional incinerator (MFI System). The incinerator is designed to fit into a compartment 12 ft x 12 ft x 8 ft. The system consists of seven modules which may be arranged to suit the compartment lay-out. The total system weight is 1400 lb. New features of the Phase II incinerator include the following: flat blade centrifugal induced draft fan in place of duct-type axial flow, heavy castable refractory throughout, larger firebox volume, heavier feeder construction, small diameter multi-tubular fly ash collector, semi-automatic feeder control, and diagnostic monitoring circuit on burner control. The MFI System was fabricated, assembled and tested. The report describes problems encountered, corrective action taken and recommendations for modifications on subsequent units. (Author).

This book was released on 1976 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report covers the test program carried out on a newly designed multi-use shipboard incinerator. Test procedures and the test stand are described and the test results analyzed in detail. After a series of shake-down tests a formal test program was started consisting of three phases, (a) 24 Factorial Tests, (b) six Replication Tests, and (c) twelve Capacity Tests. The Factorial and Replication Tests were done with simulated refuse, waste and sewage for a set feeding period of 5-1/2 hours. The Capacity Tests were conducted with actual municipal wastes for a feeding period of 10 hours plus additional time required to incinerate 400 gal. of sewage. The results of the extensive test program proved the soundness of the design concept and demonstrated the capability of the unit to meet the contract capacities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory evaluation of a shipboard Phase II multifunctional waste incinerator (MFI), consisting of testing the unit for a minimum of 1200 operational hr to characterize performance, reliability, maintainability, habitability, and safety, demonstrated that the solid waste processing requirements are acceptable for various wastes with a 98-percent average reduction efficiency on a weight basis. Additionally, freshwater sewage and waste oil can be processed on demand at the required flow rates. All wastes can be processed with an average operator attention time of less than 5 min/hr. Recommendations for certain deficiencies include provisions for extra insulation and safety guards, development of an adequate technical manual, and optimization of feed and fuel processing systems. Upon completion of the recommended modifications, further testing, including a vibration evaluation, will complete the requirements prior to installation of the MFI on board a naval vessel for shipboard evaluations and approval for service use.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes vibrational testing and identifies recommended changes to a multifunctional waste incinerator (MFI) intended for use on seagoing vessels as an alternative for overboard discharge of potentially harmful waste. The testing reported completes the third part of Phase II testing, laboratory evaluation of a land-based system. Vibrational testing was completed on both 0 degs. and 90 degs. transverse axes in addition to the vertical axis. The modified MFI operated as required and withstood the vibrational testing environment. Modifications, especially in the use of aluminachromic oxide plastic refractory in the sewage chamber, proved satisfactory. Some design changes are recommended for easier disassembly and greater structural integrity. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this project is the development of a novel, actively controlled, shipboard sludge incinerator using state of the art pulsating combustion technology. This study is aimed at determining the feasibility of such an incinerator, developing the technology to construct a suitable pulse combustor for exciting high amplitude velocity oscillations in the incinerator, and examining the benefits obtained from this technology. Two approaches have been taken towards the development of a suitable pulse combustor. First is the development of a tunable pulse combustor that can force resonant oscillations in the incinerator chamber. The second approach is to develop a high amplitude, low frequency pulse combustor that can generate bulk mode type pulsating flow in the incinerator chamber. Two tunable pulse combustors have been developed for testing; one is mechanically tuned, the other is a novel, electronically tuned pulse combustor designed be used in conjunction with a previously developed fuel modulation system. While both systems show some promise for use in the sludge incinerator, they currently have shortcomings, such as their inability to operate on liquid fuels. A single frequency, aerodynamically valved, oil burning pulse combustor was also constructed. While this burner burns liquid fuel and produces high amplitude pulsations, it is not tunable, and therefore, oscillations forced in the incinerator are not resonant. Improvement and testing of these systems will be continued under this project.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US Navy commitment to environmentally clean ships require that the present practices of waste storage and off loading and overboard discharge be eliminated. Thermal waste treatment onboard Naval vessels is preferred as it accomplishes many waste processing goals including volume reduction, sterilization and detoxification. It is also cost-effective and among the safest approaches requiring little specialized personnel training. Unfortunately existing seaworthy incinerator designs that meet the Navy's size and weight limitations are not expected to meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards when operating under the higher throughput demands of future target shipboard operations. This has led to the exploration of novel approaches, such as the use of forced acoustics, in order to maintain compact incineration systems capable of increased waste throughput. Energy and Environmental Research Corporation (EER) and the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) have developed a forced acoustic afterburner that improves heat transfer, turbulent mixing and firing density. The afterburner designed incorporates a central air jet issuing past a dump plane. The forcing frequency of the air jet is controlled to match the jet's natural frequency causing formation of coherent vortices in the afterburner chamber, as illustrated in Figure 1. Air-starved reaction products enter circumferencially around the air jet and are entrained into the shedding vortices, mixing the reaction products with the air through strain-enhanced diffusion and convection. Ignition of the gases is strain-delayed allowing enhanced mixing, lower peak flame temperatures and the elimination of cold fuel pockets. This combustion mechanism reduces products of incomplete combustion and lowers formation of oxides of nitrogen (NOx).
