air curtain burning

Timber Baron has evolved its services to include wood waste management solutions in response to the industry’s growing demand for environmentally responsible methods of handling and disposing of waste wood and construction materials. With projected growth in large-scale mining and LNG capital projects across Northwest BC, there is an increasing need for effective alternatives to open burning.
Air curtain burner technology offers a reliable, environmentally conscious solution with several key advantages:
  • Reduced emissions and minimal smoke, lowering impacts to local communities, municipalities, wildlife, and air quality

  • Elimination of waste material, rather than grinding and spreading, which can create additional environmental concerns

  • Contained units that significantly reduce fire risk, even in extreme burning conditions or near populated areas

  • Portable systems that can be moved directly to waste locations, reducing material handling and associated costs

Air curtain burners produce very limited smoke and allow for continuous 24-hour operation, even when open burning is restricted due to air quality concerns. In Northwest BC—where favourable venting days are limited—this allows projects to continue without delays that commonly affect traditional open burning methods.
When projects are located near communities, air curtain burners help alleviate environmental concerns while maintaining project schedules. Our staff are trained Visible Emissions Evaluators, providing daily reporting to clients and ensuring all operations comply with environmental permitting and regulatory requirements.
