Abstract

An incinerator and a process for the incineration of animal carcasses. The inner combustion chamber of the incinerator is lined with a high temperature fibrous insulation material and a stainless steel liner thereby permitting the temperature of the liner to become very hot during incineration. The animal carcass is deposited directly onto the stainless steel liner. Heat is then applied to the chamber, and the liner becomes red hot and radiates heat onto the carcass from all sides of the chamber. The burners are controlled by temperature responsive control devices to maintain the combustion chamber within a desired temperature range. In another embodiment, a stainless steel wall is disposed within the interior of the incinerator housing to form a combustion chamber and an afterburner chamber alongside the combustion chamber. The afterburner chamber includes a separate burner located near the bottom of the incinerator for heating the air as it enters the afterburner chamber. The stainless steel wall radiates heat between the combustion and afterburner chambers.
