Thank You, Thank You, Hofi.
You have solved a problem for me!
Thank you for thinking out of the box of my “so called” standard practices.
I have decided that I am going to construct a similar configuration just as you have shown us. Although, I plan on adding steel wheels into the equation. Now just try to figure that one out! Ha, Ha.
Thank you for your very valuable time, expertise, and wisdom that you share with us.
I have always found your ideas and concepts to be of great value.
Be safe!

Hello Ted (rusty?)
Thank You Ted !!!
I Am Very Happy To Help .
To ''think Simple'' Is Very Hard And Not Easy To Go ''complcate ''is Very Easy.
Simplicity Is Also Beuty And Less Energy
Be Good

I have just one question Hofi
1. what kind of coal is typical at your school? (sulfur content)




as a side note my posts here and elsewhere regarding more complex solutions are a necessity where Im at. If I sprouted a stainless steel chimney off the backside of my house Id have the local law breathing down my neck a few hours later.

[Hofi]

Hello Ice C
I Do Not Understand , Is There A Law Against Using Stainless Steel???
And As For The Sulfor Content ,the Moment I''ll Fined The Ducoment I''ll Send U . I Use Coks Only And In Coks The Sulfor Content Is Very Low.

very low

no law against stainless steel, just against burning solid fuels plus some noisy neighbors

there are very tight ordinances regarding air pollution all along the Rocky Mountain Front Range, like Los Angeles which is between the sea and the mountains
Denver has\had a very bad smog problem, jet stream comes over the mountains and traps\backs the air against the mountains quite often.

Because of weather patterns, the city is prone to temperature inversions that trap warm air under heavy cool air, keeping pollution stagnant over the city.

Region 8 News Release - EPA proposes change to Denver area's air quality status for airborne particles

my plan is to treat and duct the exhaust to a greenhouse for further treatment
Living wall \ Biowall | Live Building \ Living machines \ Aquaponics

the CO2 will be good for the plants and they will filter out any remaining NOX & VOCs

Boy I sure don't want to get into a big engineering discussion on various scrubber and cyclone related cleaning systems.

I am an Liscensed Professional Engineer and have designed and installed numerous scrubber and air cleaning systems.

I WILL NOT install one these systems in my shop. Nor even think of the engineering required to do so.

If air pollution is a concern based on your neighborhood, burn coke, propane or natural gas. Oil would work to if you can carefully control the fire so it does not smoke.

The EPA has this principal, if you install an air pollution control device you must report it to them, get a construction permit and then verify its proper operation even if it is not required.

You do not want to go down this road!

If you install a wet scrubber what do you do with the dirty water. It will take a permit to dispose of it legally. Again you do not want to go their.

Hofi is correct. Make it and keep it simple!

Simple is beautiful. Any Engineer can make it complex!

[Ice Czar]

actually thats exactly where I plan to go

aside from art my abiding interest is in permaculture and ecological engineering
this is a home shop, but the design objective is to research synergistic technologies, the water is treated with Phytoremediation, the sludge is incorporated into ceramics \ geopolymers \ glass. The objective is to scavenge energy from one process to the next, and employ the waste stream of one process as a key component of the next. I call it the Sampo Puzzle. (Project was taken )

I do have a few odds and ends I need to find a use for
(acquired in an ill conceived scheme to review computer thermodynamic solutions and power supplies, which unraveled on me)
I talked my way into a blacksmithing shop specifically so I could develop the skills and tools to do this project

I think ecological engineering is an emerging art form

environments that renew themselves, clean themselves, and are married to how we employ energy for work
while my background isnt in engineering Im no slouch at science, but I came at this from the arts
used to work for these guys Communication Arts, Inc.

My Daughter Lives And Teaches ''permacultuer'' And My Granddaughter Too
The Toilets Are Without Runing Water And On The Very Small Plot Of Land Vegetable Are Being Growen All The Year Around Allthe Garden And House Remaines Are Put In ''compost'' That Is Been Put Back To Fertile The Gardening
We Do Not Use Soap Or Chmicals To Wosh There Are Netueurals Matirials To Do It Better Then Soap.the U Can Reuse The Water For Irigation.
Again It Is Very Very Simple And Right Way Of Life And It Is Healthy Very Healthy Too.
Ice You Are Bombing Us With Those Long Very Long Articelson How To Live With Natuer And Not Against The Natuer ,please No Offence !only From Looking At Those Articales I Get Headache ,we Call It Here In Our Society
'' Rain Of Words On Desert Of Ideas''
''permaculter'' Is A Way Of Life A State Of Mined And Very Very Simple And For God Sake It Is Not A Religion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a wonderfully poetic way of phrasing it - much better than "Information Overload"!
