When Disaster Strikes, Cleanup Can’t Wait.

Tackle debris from storms—or wood waste from forestry, demolition, or agriculture—directly on-site. Eliminate hauling, slash emissions, and unlock valuable byproducts like biochar and renewable energy.

We used Air Burners to dispose of thousands of tons of vegetative debris after Hurricane Harvey. Instead of piles of waste taking up space for months, we cleanly reduced it to a small pile of ash with very little smoke. An efficient, low-impact solution for large-scale disaster cleanup.

Problem: Traditional Methods Fall Short

Traditional debris and wood waste solutions are inefficient, slow, and costly—often causing more problems than they solve.

storm debris

Floods, Hurricanes, Tornados

Hauling Headaches

Hauling overloaded trucks, road damage, and rising fuel costs

Chipping Glut

Chipping oversupplies mulch markets

Open Burns

Smoke & Air Pollution

wood waste recycling

Forestry, Demolition, Agriculture

High-cost

Laborious hauling, grinding, sorting—with high energy and financial costs

Limited Timber Resale

Most timber ends up discarded; resale markets are limited

Emissions

Landfills and processing emit more CO₂ and methane than environmental gains justify

Solution: Air Curtain Burners—On‑Site, Efficient, Clean

On-Site Processing: Burn debris or wood waste immediately with no hauling with Air Burners.

Smoke particles get trapped and reburned quickly, dramatically reducing emissions—by up to 98%—and delivering a cleaner burn.

Fast

On-site deployment means cleanup in hours, not weeks

Clean

Up to 98% smoke reduction with air curtain combustion

Efficient

Handles massive volumes with 95–98% reduction, 40x faster than open burning

Sustainable

Converts wood and vegetative waste into nutrient-rich biochar while generating power

Cost-effective

Minimizes hauling, labor,
and infrastructure costs

Scalable

From the towable BurnBoss to heavy-duty S-300 FireBoxes

no permit needed using Air Curtain burners in Disaster Recovery

On August 22, 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published interim rule titled Temporary-Use Incinerators and Air Curtain Incinerators Used in Disaster Recovery. This interim rule authorizes the deployment of air curtain burners in federally declared emergency declared areas to accelerate debris management and recovery efforts.

Under the interim rule, air curtain burners of any capacity may operate without prior approval, provided the operator:

Operates within the declared emergency area
Use the equipment according to the manufacturer’s guidelines
Burn only clean wood and vegetative debris
Maintains required visible emission (opacity) limits
Keep accurate operational records of throughput

Cleaning Up Storm and Hurricane Debris with Air Curtain Burners

Major floods hit Texas, North Carolina, and New Mexico just last week—and now the Northeast is seeing serious flooding of its own. Anyone in emergency management knows this is only...

Air Burners ®: A Game-Changer in Wood Waste Management

Picture this: You’re the owner of a tree service company, and you’ve just finished a large land-clearing project. You’ve done the hard work, but now you’re left staring at a...

why this matters

At the end of the day, debris management isn’t just about hauling away logs and branches. It’s about getting life back to normal.

When debris sits for months or years, people can’t go home. Businesses can’t reopen. Schools are shut. Communities stay stuck.

Air Burners aren’t the only tool you’ll need, but they’re a proven one. They’ve helped communities recover faster after hurricanes, floods, tornados, and wildfires.
