impacts from exploding items of the refuse such as used spray cans a suitable type of wire is for example titanium or stainless steel the chamber 11 surrounded by porous membrane 12 is positioned within an air tight housing 22 which is sealed during the combustion and cool down periods to prevent any escape of gasses and burning particulates a strong material which is able to withstand the temperatures and pressures generated from within the apparatus and which is inert to the refuse and gases produced from the incineration is preferable housing 22 is therefore preferably constructed from for example stainless steel the housing 22 is also insulated by insulation 24 to prevent heat from escaping into the ambient environment the housing 22 surrounds a back pressure chamber 23 which forces the mixture of fuels through the porous membrane 13 to sustain the surface combustion back pressure chamber 23 is coaxial to porous membrane 13 to achieve uniformity of the surface combustion upon closure of lid 26 and clean out plug 27 the housing 22 becomes a pressure tank and therefore lid 26 and clean out plug 27 are also constructed to adequately endure the temperatures and pressures from within the apparatus feed back systems monitor and regulate the operating parameters of the apparatus pressure feed back means and temperature feed.
