Fabrication and Assembly of a Shipboard Multifunctional Waste Incinerator (MFI). Phase II.

Abstract

This report details the fabrication, assembly, and burn-in testing of a multifunctional waste incinerator (MFI) designed by Vent-O-Matic Incinerator Corporation for Phase II of the Shipboard Incinerator Evaluation Program. Stress relieving and edge preparation were determined to be necessary for proper fabrication of metalwork, and adequate space and lifting equipment are major requirements during casting. Adequate facilities must be available for curing incinerator components since in situ curing to 2200 F was not attainable. The feed system appears very sophisticated in order to prevent overfeeding; however, only further testing will prove its value. When properly operated, the MFI adequately handled trash, refuse, garbage, dense trash, waste oil, and fresh water sewage during preliminary burn-in testing. Problems encountered during burn-in testing will be further evaluated during the 1200-hr test program. (Author)
