Reissue Application 08/425,766
We AFFIRM.
The subject matter on appeal relates to a waste disposal apparatus
comprising a first combustion chamber for incinerating waste material in an
oxygen rich atmosphere to produce ash and exhaust containing gases and
particulate matter, and a second combustion chamber for firing the exhaust
containing gases and particulate matter in an oxygen starved atmosphere. Further
details regarding this subject matter are set forth in representative independent
claim 1 of this reissue application which reads as follows:
1. A waste disposal apparatus comprising:
a first combustion chamber for incinerating waste material in an
oxygen rich atmosphere to produce ash and exhaust containing
gasses and particulate matter;
an injector for blowing air into said first combustion chamber in
excess of the amount required for normal combustion;
a second combustion chamber for firing said exhaust
containing gasses and particulate matter in an oxygen
starved atmosphere; and
a damper for restricting air flow into said second
combustion chamber to an amount less than that
required for normal combustion.
