Defensive Publication: Rocket Mass Heater for PFAS and Micro/Nanoplastic Destruction

This defensive publication discloses the design, purpose, and operational details of a Rocket Mass Heater (RMH) system engineered specifically for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and micro/nanoplastics through sustained high-temperature pyrolysis and thermal decomposition. The system is intended for decentralized, community-scale bioremediation and waste treatment applications, with particular focus on accessibility, affordability, and use of salvaged and natural materials. The design integrates principles of clean combustion, thermal mass storage, and controlled oxygen-enriched environments to optimize the breakdown of persistent synthetic contaminants. Operating temperatures are engineered to exceed 1000°C in key zones, with configuration options for batch or continuous feed. This document is published to establish prior art and prevent the patenting of this design or any substantially similar systems intended for public benefit. All contents are released into the public domain or under a permissive open hardware license to support free replication, adaptation, and improvement.

Abstract

This defensive publication discloses the design, purpose, and operational details of a Rocket Mass Heater (RMH) system engineered specifically for the destruction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and micro/nanoplastics through sustained high-temperature pyrolysis and thermal decomposition. The system is intended for decentralized, community-scale bioremediation and waste treatment applications, with particular focus on accessibility, affordability, and use of salvaged and natural materials. The design integrates principles of clean combustion, thermal mass storage, and controlled oxygen-enriched environments to optimize the breakdown of persistent synthetic contaminants. Operating temperatures are engineered to exceed 1000°C in key zones, with configuration options for batch or continuous feed. This document is published to establish prior art and prevent the patenting of this design or any substantially similar systems intended for public benefit.
