The Incinerator Performance `Run Test` and its Ramifications

A well-designed and well-made incinerator could still pose a few problems for the commissioning engineer at the customer`s site. The reasons for this could be many:

 

-        Incinerator despatched with refractory in `green` condition

-        Positive pressure in the chamber

-        Wrong burner or burner settings

-        Insufficient chamber temperature

-        Insufficient air for combustion and ejector mechanism

-        Ejector function unsatisfactory

 

The above are only some of the common issues noticed by the commissioning engineer, who has to find solutions all by himself and to satisfy the customer.

 

We at Haat do a performance `run test` on the completed assembly of an incinerator during which:

 

-        the refractory is cured

-        negative pressure in the chamber is ensured

-        corrector burner selection and settings are done keeping the required thermal value

-        correct nozzle size is used for delivering optimum quantity of fuel to achieve chamber temperature and combustion characteristics

-        correct air damper settings are made for proper combustion and ejector mechanism

-        any correction to the ejector mechanism is done at the shop itself

 

All these and many more smoothening of rough edges are carried out during an incinerator performance `run test` in which the entire system is run for at least  6 hours with waste loading as per requirement.

 

Prior to this, the entire refractory lining is cured for 5 days as per procedure to remove the moisture and to set the refractory concrete, so as to avoid possible thermal shocks to the system when fired suddenly.

 

The end result is when the incinerator is ready for commissioning at site, there are no niggles and no hiccups, especially for a skid-mounted, ready- to-use incinerator system, leaving every one, particularly the customer, happy. TOTAL CUSTOMER SATISFACTION GUARANTEED!
