Abstract
Abstract A pollution controlled incinerator system comprises an elongated combustion products duct system having a series of spaced incineration station inlets positioned above ground level and a permanently installed pollution control apparatus. The branch combustion product duct from a remote station terminates at a more proximate station whereby when two or more portable incinerators are installed, the combustion products from the incinerator station further from the pollution control apparatus pass through the charge of the next proximate incinerator station in the series. The combined combustion products effluent from all of the incinerators or furnaces installed along the duct system is concentrated and directed to the permanently installed pollution control apparatus. The pollution control apparatus functions to clean and to cool the combustion products effluent and then to discharge the effluent to atmosphere.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
190 words
In an incineration system suitable to remove insulation from wire, the combination of a plurality of combustion stations arranged in series relationship upstream from a pollution control apparatus, comprising at least one remote station and one proximate station, said remote and proximate stations including an inlet opening adapted to remove gaseous products of combustion from the respective said stations, said proximate station additionally comprising an exhaust opening adapted to receive gaseous products from the remote station, and said remote and proximate stations comprising a primary combustion chamber means adapted to overfit each inlet opening and a pile of insulation covered wire to permit the breakdown of the insulation within the space defined by the primary combustion chamber means into carbon and gaseous products of combustion; and a duct system means interconnecting the remote and proximate combustion stations to carry the gaseous products, said duct system means comprising a first branch duct adapted to lead in the gaseous products from the remote station to the proximate station and a second branch duct adapted to convey concentrated gaseous products from both the remote station and the proximate station to a downstream location.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
190 words
In an incineration system suitable to remove insulation from wire, the combination of a plurality of combustion stations arranged in series relationship upstream from a pollution control apparatus, comprising at least one remote station and one proximate station, said remote and proximate stations including an inlet opening adapted to remove gaseous products of combustion from the respective said stations, said proximate station additionally comprising an exhaust opening adapted to receive gaseous products from the remote station, and said remote and proximate stations comprising a primary combustion chamber means adapted to overfit each inlet opening and a pile of insulation covered wire to permit the breakdown of the insulation within the space defined by the primary combustion chamber means into carbon and gaseous products of combustion; and a duct system means interconnecting the remote and proximate combustion stations to carry the gaseous products, said duct system means comprising a first branch duct adapted to lead in the gaseous products from the remote station to the proximate station and a second branch duct adapted to convey concentrated gaseous products from both the remote station and the proximate station to a downstream location.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The incineration system of claim 1 wherein the portions of said combustion stations are positioned above the ground level and other portions of said combustion stations are positioned below ground level.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
The incineration system of claim 2 wherein the inlet openings are elevated above ground level to raise the effective height of the inlet opening above the said duct system means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The incineration system of claim 1 and a standpipe connected to the first branch duct and the second branch duct, said standpipes rising above ground level and terminating upwardly in the said inlet openings.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
The incineration system of claim 4 wherein the first branch duct, the second branch duct and the standpipe are nonmovable and wherein the primary combustion chamber means are adapted to be portable.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The incineration system of claim 1 wherein the first branch duct terminates at the proximate station in an exhaust duct.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
The incineration system of claim 6 wherein the exhaust duct terminates upwardly to define the said exhaust opening.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
The incineration system of claim 7 and a grating provided at the exhaust opening, said grating being adapted to allow the passage of gaseous products from the remote station into the proximate station.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
31 words
The incineration system of claim 8 wherein the grating is positioned at ground level and wherein the grating is adapted to receive and support thereon a pile of insulation covered wire.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
35 words
The incineration system of claim 1 wherein the first branch duct terminates at the proximate station in an exhaust duct and wherein the second branch duct is constructed to pass through the said exhaust duct.
