incinerator design

(OP)
Need to design a VERY LOW cost incinerator for burning oil impregnated rags and gloves in Venezuela. Though about building it with refractary bricks and adding the burners.
Any better ideas out there.

RE: incinerator design

Incinerators to burn the kind of refuse you mention are sometimes built with two sections: a 30-35o inclined section for drying, and a horizontal burn-out section provided with an auxiliary burner. An after-burning pot and an ash catch pot sometimes must be added.

A complete welded elliptical cylinder made in two parts as above, complete with concrete refractory, grid, ash doors, air doors, and one burner can be purchased with a grid capacity of 150-200 kg/h/m2 of dry refuse.
For earth contaminated with oil, some kind of rotating kiln appears to be the most suitable. Feed can be done from a simple hill-like device or by the help of a feeding machine.

25362 sounds like the answer I`m looking for,but I`m in Venezuela and any better directions to how to build it or where to get the equipment to make it would greatly help me. Thanks

RE: incinerator design

(OP)
25362 Thank you very much for your information. Now I have a lot of information I need to digest. I found somebody that will sell me refractary concrete, do you now perchance know of any small incinerator design around. I think the cost would be lower if I do it locally and import the burners and fans.
once again thanks,
Muchas gracias por sus buenos deseos
