Solution Overview

Problem

Existing dry distillation gasification incinerators require individual designs tailored to the shape and size of installation sites, and must incorporate facilities to prevent dioxin emissions during waste incineration.

Innovation Solution

A dry distillation gasification incinerator design that allows for flexible placement of units (dry distillation furnace, combustion furnace, and flue-gas treatment) to accommodate various site shapes and sizes, with units aligned orthogonally or in the same direction, and includes a cooled reactor integral with the combustion furnace.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If individual designs are created for each installation site, then the incinerator can be adapted to various site shapes and sizes, but the design complexity and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to site shape and sizeVSAvoiddesign complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The incinerator is divided into independent functional modules: dry distillation furnaces (one or more), combustion furnace, and flue-gas treatment unit. These modules can be independently configured and arranged in different spatial relationships (orthogonal alignment or same-direction alignment) to adapt to various site conditions without redesigning the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The standardized module design allows the same basic components to serve multiple installation configurations. The dry distillation furnaces can be arranged orthogonally or in the same direction relative to the combustion furnace, providing universal adaptability across different site geometries while using the same core equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If individual designs are created for each installation site, then the incinerator can be adapted to various site shapes and sizes, but the design time and resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation to site shape and sizeVSAvoiddesign time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The standard module configuration with predetermined functional arrangements (orthogonal or same-direction alignment of furnaces and treatment units) is prepared in advance. This preliminary design framework allows rapid deployment to different sites by simply selecting and arranging pre-designed modules rather than creating individual designs from scratch for each site.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the combustion furnace temperature is maintained at 800°C or higher, then dioxins are completely pyrolyzed and emissions are prevented, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedoxin emission preventionVSAvoidenergy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The dry distillation furnaces continuously generate combustible gas from waste materials, which is then continuously supplied to the combustion furnace. This continuous supply of fuel gas maintains the high temperature (800°C or higher) required for doxin pyrolysis without requiring external energy input, as the system uses its own waste material as the energy source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the combustible gas produced from dry distillation of waste materials to fuel the combustion furnace itself. This self-service mechanism maintains the high temperature necessary for doxin destruction without requiring additional external energy sources, thereby preventing doxin emissions while avoiding excessive energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
