ABSTRACT:
Scrap automobiles are loaded onto carts which move along rails into a two-stage incinerator. Combustible waste is shredded, dried, and loaded onto a transporter which moves along the rails into the incinerator. The automobiles and combustibles are incinerated and the heat produced is collected. The heat is converted into steam used to power a turbine driven electricity generator. The generated electricity is used to electrolyze water and to operate an electric arc furnace which refines the incinerated metal. Heat from the incinerator is further used to heat waste oil in a cracking tower and to heat fermented organic waste in an alcohol still. The combustion gases are passed through a scrubbing tower where they are cooled and scrubbed with a caustic spray to neutralize acids present and they are passed through a bag house filter to remove particulate matter before they are vented into the atmosphere.
