Abstract:
A system for combusting volatile vapors includes a carburetor having intake valves for receiving base fuel from a fuel source, ambient combustion air, and volatile vapors from a vapor source. A plurality of sensors measure and generate sensor data based on a respective plurality of physical properties associated with the carburetor and associate combustion engine operation. One or more programmable controllers receive the sensor data and control the intake valves to regulate respective ratios of the fuel, air, volatile vapors drawn through the carburetor based on the received sensor data. To increase the burn of volatile vapors, an engine loading system automatically operated by the controller(s) applies an automatically adjustable braking load on the engine. The load level applied is based on the sensor data and commensurate with maintaining stable engine running conditions. The loading system decreases time necessary to remediate a site.

Claim (Index 13):
A remediation system for combusting volatile vapors, the system comprising:\n an internal combustion engine comprising a rotatable crankshaft; a carburetor operably coupled to the engine, the carburetor having a first intake valve receiving base fuel from a primary fuel source, a second intake valve receiving air from an air source, and a third intake valve receiving volatile vapors from a vapor source, the carburetor configured to combine the base fuel, air, and volatile vapors to form a combustion mixture and discharge the mixture to the engine; each of the first, second, and third intake valves having an associated valve position sensor operable to sense a respective position of each valve indicative of a respective flow percent; an electromagnetic braking device operably coupled to the crankshaft of the engine, the braking device changeable in state between a deactivated state and an activated state wherein the braking device is configured to apply an adjustable braking load on the engine crankshaft for increasing combustion of volatile vapors from the vapor source; a programmable controller operably coupled to the braking device and the valve position sensors, the programmable controller configured to automatically change the state of the braking device based on a sensed real-time position of at least the first intake valve.
