Method And Assembly For Controlling Dust Within A Solid Waste Disposal System

View page
US Patent:
49628941, Oct 16, 1990
Filed:
Jul 24, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/384491
Inventors:
Russell J. Galgana - Clarksville NY
Assignee:
Smith & Mahoney, P.C. - Albany NY
International Classification:
B02C 1900
US Classification:
241 30
Abstract:
A method and assembly are provided for controlling dust within a solid waste disposal system. The assembly includes a shredder, a conveyor for transporting solid waste material to the shredder, a second conveyor for transporting shredded solid waste material away from the shredder, a dust collector positioned above the second conveyor, air nozzles or the like for agitating the dust collector so that the dust collected therein is deposited upon the second conveyor, and a nozzle assembly for spraying water onto the dust which is dropped by the dust collector onto the second conveyor. The second conveyor is preferably positioned within a dust plenum which confines the airborne dust to an area where it can be effectively trapped. The method according to the invention includes the steps of introducing solid waste material to a shredder, shredding the solid waste material, discharging shredded solid waste material from the shredder onto a conveyor, trapping dust generated by the shredded solid waste material, discharging the trapped dust upon the conveyor, and spraying the dust discharged onto the conveyor with a liquid.

US Patent:
49729985, Nov 27, 1990
Filed:
Jul 24, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/384490
Inventors:
Russell J. Galgana - Clarksville NY
Assignee:
Smith & Mahoney, P.C. - Albany NY
International Classification:
B02C 2500
US Classification:
241 30
Abstract:
A method and a system are provided for preventing explosions within solid waste disposal facilities having a shredder, a shredder infeed conveyor, a shredder discharge conveyor, a trough conveyor, and a boiler. The system includes a gas sensor, a foam generator and associated nozzles, and gas dilution fans. The foam nozzles are positioned adjacent to the trough conveyor and are actuated when a signal is generated by the gas sensor. The foam acts as a fire and explosion break between the shredder and all subsequent areas of the facility.

US Patent:
47401273, Apr 26, 1988
Filed:
Jul 25, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/890764
Inventors:
Russell J. Galgana - Clarksville NY
Patrick F. Mahoney - Rensselaer NY
Gordon L. Sutin - Dundas, CA
Assignee:
Smith & Mahoney, P.C. - Albany NY
International Classification:
F23K 300
US Classification:
414173
Abstract:

US Patent:
47157631, Dec 29, 1987
Filed:
Jul 25, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/890762
Inventors:
Russell J. Galgana - Clarksville NY
Patrick F. Mahoney - Rensselaer NY
Gordon L. Sutin - Dundas, CA
Assignee:
Smith & Mahoney, P.C. - Albany NY
International Classification:
B65D 8828
B65G 6542
F23J 300
US Classification:
414216
Abstract:
A hopper for use in a dry ash removal system is structured with a front elevational profile which converges from top to bottom while the side elevational profile of same diverges from top to bottom to allow substantially uniform hopper cross-sectional area from top to bottom and thereby reduce incidence of ash bridging within the hopper.

Receiving Assembly For Solid Waste Disposal System

View page
US Patent:
50060295, Apr 9, 1991
Filed:
Jul 24, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/384500
Inventors:
Russell J. Galgana - Clarksville NY
Assignee:
Smith & Mahoney, P.C. - Albany NY
International Classification:
F23K 300
B65G 6506
US Classification:
414327
Abstract:
A receiving assembly for a solid waste disposal system is provided. The assembly includes a pit defined by vertical side walls and having an upper opening. An upwardly inclined receiving conveyor is positioned within the pit. An infeed conveyor includes a first end positioned beneath the discharge end of the receiving conveyor such that solid waste material is dropped by the receiving conveyor onto the infeed conveyor. A heavy curtain is suspended above the discharge end of the receiving conveyor for controlling the fall of the solid waste material onto the infeed conveyor. A second curtain is positioned between the conveyors to prevent material from falling therebetween. The infeed conveyor is operated at about twice the speed of the receiving conveyor.
