Air Burners
Arctic Backhoe Services Ltd. utilizes and provides Air Curtain Burners for both its residential and commercial customers. Air Burners can solve a lot of waste problems. They can be utilized for land clearing, landfills, forest services, wood products and disaster recovery. Email or call us for further information on the product.
Here, let’s look at some of the benefits of using an Air Curtain Burner:
Benefits in Landfill Operations
- Natural alternative for reduction of clean wood waste – as in nature the air burners use only wind and air for efficient combustion
- High efficiency burns – a true mass reduction in waste means less to landfill
- High thru-put means less decomposing – in turn, less methane production
- Ash can be used for PH balancing
- Green trees are fine as no drying time is required
- Reduction of green waste – increases landfill operating lifeType text here
Environmental Benefits
- Air quality – Wood waste produces methane during decay among other things. The air burner does not produce any methane. The combustion process is very efficient using the air curtain to trap smoke particles. The emissions from the burner are stated in the technical reports. Open burning averages 60% to 80% opacity (smoke plume) where air burners average 10% opacity.
- High mass reduction decreasing the load on local landfills – these burners effectively reduce the waste by 95 to 98 percent. As an example, 20,000 lbs of wood waste can be reduced to 400-1000 lbs of ash thus increasing the life span of landfill operations.
