Abstract:
1. An apparatus for disposing of hazardous waste associated with criminal activity comprising: a frame; a burner assembly secured to the frame; wherein the burner assembly comprises a main burner operatively connected to an afterburner; and wherein when hazardous materials are placed into the main burner, the main burner and afterburner incinerate the hazardous materials; and a gas neutralizing assembly secured to the frame, wherein the gas neutralizing assembly comprises a rupture tank having a means for rupturing a container of hazardous gas placed inside the rupture tank, a reservoir tank in communication with the rupture tank via a first pipe, a water tank in communication with the reservoir tank via a second pipe, and a vacuum pump operatively connected to the reservoir tank via a third pipe, the reservoir tank being mounted on top of the water tank; wherein the vacuum pump is operable to generate a vacuum within the rupture tank and the reservoir tank in order to draw the hazardous gas from the rupture tank into the reservoir tank via the first pipe; wherein the vacuum pump is further operable in reverse, to thereby pressurize the reservoir tank and convert the hazardous gas within the reservoir tank into a liquid form; and wherein the water tank receives the liquefied hazardous gas from the reservoir tank via the second pipe, to mix with water contained in the water tank.
