The method further comprises directing a flow of a biodegradable waste slurry into the processing passage (3), and supplying a processing fluid to the nozzle (16) and injecting the processing fluid through the nozzle (16) into the waste slurry within the processing passage (3). The processing fluid is supplied to the or each device (21) at a temperature and pressure which results in the waste slurry leaving the passage outlet (5) with an exit temperature of 45-160°C. A method of producing biogas from biodegradable waste is also provided, as is a waste processing apparatus.</p> |
