An incineration kiln of the slagging mode, which has an outer shell and a protective layer inside the shell with quantum failure identifiers. The quantum failure identifiers recognizes one or more stages of increasing degree of failure of the protective layer, so that an operator may be warned and take suitable measures to protect further deterioration of the protective layer and restore the same.

Incineration kiln devices and methods of protecting the same

Methods and devices for protecting incineration kilns by optically determining the thickness of protective refractory and slag layers and taking suitable measures to avoid catastrophic failure due to excessive heat of the outer shell, usually made of carbon steel. The determination is performed by two laser beams. One laser beam is directed at low incidence at various points of the top surface of the protective layers inside the kiln, while the second laser beam is directed at a different incidence at the same points of the top surface of the protective layers inside the kiln.

Control of protective layer thickness in kilns by utilizing two laser

Methods and apparatuses are presented for incinerating waste in increments in a controlled and efficient manner, based on an arbitrary factor labeled Relative Power Factor. Also, presented are methods and apparatuses for determining the Relative Power Factor.

Methods and apparatus using relative power factor in incineration of

Methods and devices for controlling rotary incineration kilns by determining and controlling the viscosity of slag which is formed in such kilns. These methods and devices are based on measuring one or more properties or parameters of drippings of the slag falling from the ceiling of the kiln, as the kiln rotates. The parameters are size of drippings, shape of drippings, aspect ratio of drippings, and number of drippings.
