Our flagship product, the Firebird V-III™ is a vortex
combustion system that is unlike any current technology on the
market. With its origins as a hazardous waste material
incinerator, the shredded waste material is burned at an extremely high
temperature, while traveling in a high speed vortex, burning
fully in suspension. The Firebird V-III™ maintains the
original patented technology that made it so unique, with
modifications only to the sensoring, monitoring, and other
electronic safety systems. Different models are
available for various applications, with options for
stationary use, truck mounted, or rail mounted for easier
transportation.
Unlike current technologies, this system is well suited for
use in non-waste applications, such as woody biofuel for
energy programs. Primarily, this system can offer
several key features that make it ideal to replace open
burning:
-
24 hour operation, regardless of weather or other
environmental situations
-
Uses existing chipper equipment (1", 2", or 3" chip size)
-
Immediate combustion with no need to "season" cut timber
-
Easily handles forest residues with high levels of "off-spec"
pieces
-
Vortex III™ technology
produces no fly ash, sparks, and other particulate matter that
could cause fires with nearby forests
-
This technology achieves "complete and perfect" combustion,
with no harmful emissions, not even smoke
-
No ash residue due to the complete combustion of all wood
material
To complete the energy recovery (or what we call VorCinErgy™) process, the Vortex III™ is
connected to a steam boiler and steam turbine generator to
produce the most efficient form of energy for system size.
The V-III™ is only 8' wide by 11'
long.
The process of waste to energy (WtE) using this type of combustion source in combination with a steam generator
has been around for decades. In fact, nearly 80% of all
electricity in the world is generated with the use of a steam
turbine. Other combustion sources include jet engines,
coal-fired furnaces, and natural gas ovens.
