Performance Analysis of Shipboard Waste Incinerators for On-Line Control; Failure Mode Analysis of the Advanced, Acoustically-Force Afterburner for Shipboard Waste Incineration

Abstract

The development of light, compact incineration technology is one alternative for dealing with shipboard waste disposal when overboard disposal is prohibited. The present research supports the development of an acoustically enhanced afterburner system that is targeted to these requirements. The afterburner is optimized when both CO and residual organic emissions are below acceptable thresholds. Our work showed that different pollutant emissions arise in different physical locations in the afterburner. Thus, minimization of one pollutant (e.g., CO) can lead to an increase in another (e.g., organics), and optimization involves the selection of operating conditions that recognize the trade-off between the various pollutants. 15.
