‘Organic Fuel Oven’, an environment friendly impurity refining unit has made it possible to refine the impurities in the same place where it originates. For the same reason this unit has become well known. The organic fuel oven has been developed with the aim of preserving energy along with impurity refining. This unit has been developed and designed by J.Rajendran, who has been working in this field for about thirty five years.
How It Works
Organic fuel oven can be constructed close to our house. An organic fuel oven is a combination of a hearth, furnace cylinder, water boiling tank, chimney and boxes for depositing impurities. There are three waste depositing boxes. They are made in such a way that it can be taken in and out of the furnace cylinder. One box is meant for depositing moist impurities, the second one for non moist impurities and the third one for plastic impurities. Impurities that are not moist can be directly taken into the fire inside the hearth through the furnace. Impurities that are moist are kept inside the furnace for some time so as to remove the moisture in it. Later it is put in fire. Plastic impurities are not directly put in the fire; instead they are allowed to melt within the furnace.
The plastic impurities are divided into two sections before refining in the fuel oven. The division is based upon thermo plastic impurities and thermo setting plastic impurities. Only thermo plastic impurities such as plastic covers and thin plastic sheets can be put in the fuel oven. When thermo plastics are fired a gas named ‘dioxin’ is formed. But the amount of this gas produced is 90% less when it is melted rather than directly burning. This knowledge inspired Rajendran in its development. House hold items like buckets, combs, mugs etc are made of thermo setting plastic. He says that the amount of dioxin formed by the melting of such plastic is 50% more.
Impurities in our houses can be used as fuel for the burning of hearth. The heat that comes into the furnace from the burning hearth can be used to boil the water inside the water boiling tank, which is joined to the furnace. Rajendran suggests that a number of hearths can be connected to the furnace which can be used for cooking purposes. He even says that impurity refining systems that can decrease environmental problems are to be designed. According to his opinion not only impurity refining plants are needed, but also an impurity refining culture has to be created within the minds of people.
