Adapting rocket stove technology for replacing 'Air Curtain Incinerators' ? Rocket Incinerator?

I recently found out about 'curtain burners',  because the local fire risk abatement group got one, or got money for one or some such.

They cost something like $100k USD each, and require an engine to keep going.... that seems.... a lot.

Does anyone have pointers or quick $0.02 cents on a track hoe loadable Rocket Incinerator?

The biochar community has been watching the development and deployment of this technology. The ash left at the end of a run tends to have a fair amount of char in it...depending on the feedstock and operational conditions, you can get up to 10% biochar by volume, which is pretty good (a well-tended flame cap burn usually nets out at 25-30%). The pros of this machinery are the throughput and air quality, and I think we'd have a hard time finding or designing a competitive solution.

That said, there is a huge amount of process heat being squandered by one of these. Capture that and do cogeneration (to run the blowers at the very least) or charge a trailer full of batteries to run the loaders.

I don't see why one could not be made. It would not so much be a rocket mass heater, but a rocket stove with some sort of spark baffle so that fires would not occur. Putting that on a frame that was within a 38,000 pound excavator would be pretty easy. Making it convert heat to another form of energy would be the tricky part.

I will say though that the biggest air curtain incinerators burning 10 tons of trash per hour is VERY good. I worked at a waste to energy plant where we could produce 8 megawatts per hour at a 10 ton consumption rate, and that was low-BTU garbage we were consuming. With good design we had particulates and HCA at less than 1% coming out of the stack. It seems the air curtain burners are less than that, but they are also consuming clean wood.
