Page 5: Principle Of Air Curtain Burning
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL PRINCIPLE OF AIR CURTAIN INCINERATION OPERATION Air curtain incinerators are designed primarily as a pollution control device. Using a Diesel engine or electric motor driven fan, these machines generate a curtain of air with a very particular mass flow and velocity.
Page 6: General Description Of S-Series
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL GENERAL DESCRIPTION S-SERIES The self-contained refractory walled air curtain system is manufactured as an over-the- road transportable combustion system designed to reduce clean wood waste and veg- etative growth to ash in a safe, controlled burning process without excessive particu- late emissions.
Page 7 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL GENERAL DESCRIPTION S-SERIES (E-VERSION) When delivered to a job site, the S-Series machine is ready for use as soon as it is off- loaded and properly connected to an appropriate electrical power source. The entire system is built on a skid type base frame which is designed for easy movement over the ground.
Page 8 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL FireBox in Operation: Particulate Matter (PM) trapped by Air Curtain and re-burned S327 Rear Doors Open IMPORTANT: Notice, how dirt is placed all around the inside bottom to close any openings under the skids that may be caused by uneven terrain.
Page 9: Safety Considerations
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS READ ALL SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE YOU BEGIN BURNING OPERATIONS The S-Series machine operator is dealing with fire on a daily basis; it is very important that each and every individual involved with the machine be alert and practice very rig- id safety precautions.
Page 10 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL 4) NEVER use highly combustible materials to light the unit. Highly combustible materials such as gasoline, refined spirits, etc. ignite at an ex- plosive rate which may cause serious injury or death. The safest method to start the fire in the box is to use materials such as paper and kindling wood.
Page 11 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL 7) Personal Safety Operators need to be aware of the following potential hazards: A) Flying hot embers being released from the fire. Operators or anyone within the 100 foot radius of the fire should wear appropriate fire resistant clothing.
Page 12: How To Set Up The Machine
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE A) POSITIONING THE UNIT The S-Series units are totally self-contained and ready to use upon delivery to the job site. The electrically powered S-Series units are built on a skid base that is designed to facilitate dragging the unit into position near the on-site external electric power connec- tion and grounding rod.
Page 13 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL HOW TO SET UP THE MACHINE C) STARTING/SHUT-DOWN Electric Motor and VFD Starting: Ensure that an appropriate ground wire is properly connected to the grounding lug (See Page 23) and the earth grounding rod.
Page 14: Site Preparation
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL SITE PREPARATION THE GOALS TO GOOD SITE PREPARATION ARE: To place the wood piles for easy access. To sort the waste wood pile. To organize the inflow of new wood waste. When locating the FireBox;...
Page 15 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL SITE PREPARATION Faster operation through staging the wood piles Air Burners FireBoxes were designed primarily as a pollution control device, but oper- ated correctly they will burn clean wood two or three times faster than open burning. To achieve the best throughput the fire must remain at the highest temperature possible.
Page 16 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL SITE PREPARATION The “Two Pile System” For an efficient operation you would have two piles: The first pile or “main debris” pile, is the material being generated from the landfill or transfer station operation and is located away from the ember path, but with good ac- cess to your loading machinery.
Page 17: Loading And Starting A Fire
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX LOADING AN S-SERIES UNIT You can load the FireBox from either side, but we recommend loading from the manifold side because (1) it is safest and (2) it tends to in- crease the life of the manifold, as it is reduces the chance for it to be accidentally damaged.
Page 18 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX Once you have this smaller material loaded and your accelerant added (if used) load some larger, heavier material on top, such as logs or big branches. Load these heavier materials, also from your “good wood”...
Page 19 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX To minimize start-up smoke you can: Use your driest materials. Ensure your materials do not retain dirt or sand. Use diesel fuel to accelerate the light up. COLD START LIGHTING 1.
Page 20 Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX HOT START A hot start uses the coals from the previous day’s burning operation. Depending on how much ash is in the unit a hot start can be done once or twice before the unit will need to be emptied.
Page 21: How To Feed A Fire
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL HOW TO FEED A FIRE It will generally take 30 minutes for the fire to build to a point where the temperatures are sufficient for the unit to be operating with minimal smoke. 1.
Page 22: Shutdown
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL SHUTDOWN HOW TO BURN FIRE DOWN FOR SHUT DOWN All loading should stop one or two hours before you intend to put the fire out. As the fire burns down, maintain the air speed until the box begins to smoke. As the smoke increases reduce the air speed in increments to Positions Normal 1 and the Cool Down Position.
Page 23: Ash Removal
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL ASH REMOVAL HOW TO EMPTY THE S-SERIES UNITS We recommend removing the ash every morning before burning operations begin. This will give you maximum capacity in the FireBox and the ash will be easier to han- dle.
Page 24: Troubleshooting
Series (E) Refractory Walled Air Curtain Burner (Electric Motor & VFD) OPERATING MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Fire will not start. Material in FireBox has too much air space. To correct, load heavy material such as stumps to make the lower material pack down. Use torches and light from the bot- tom so the fire burns up.
