<p>Apparatus and methods of processing combustible, partially combustible and non-combustible liquid waste at high temperatures. The invention includes a vertical combustion chamber (16) in which liquids are introduced from the top by means of spray nozzles (29) or similar means. The liquid is treated as it falls by means of a number of flat name radiation type burners (17) which heat the falling liquid (30) by radiation. During the processing of certain liquids, the falling liquid is totally surrounded by names, from the top of the combustion chamber to a point where processing is completed and in all cases the liquid is prevented from contacting either the chamber walls (13) or the flames of the burners. Any combustion gases are discharged at the lower end (31) of the combustion chamber and are beneficially utilized. Combustion air is introduced through burners (17) which are used to process certain types of liquid. </p> |
