Patent ID: 7700047

Claim:
A mobile system for treating hazardous material, comprising: a portable detonation chamber module including a detonation chamber therein configured for detonation of a selected hazardous item positioned therein; a portable expansion chamber module including an expansion chamber therein spaced apart from the detonation chamber, the expansion chamber operatively associated with the detonation chamber to receive an exhaust gas from the detonation chamber; a portable emission treater module coupled to the expansion chamber and configured for substantially dry treatment of the exhaust gas to produce a treated gas suitable for venting to atmosphere and a substantially dry residual waste stream without using a wet scrubbing process; and a pulse limiter positioned in a gas flow path between the expansion chamber module and the portable emission treater module, the pulse limiter defining a communication opening that controls pressure and velocity of the exhaust gas flowing to the portable emission treater module from the expansion chamber.
