METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TREATING WASTE MATERIAL Preheated diluent and steam are introduced into a container carrying waste material typically comprised of a sludge mixture of liquid and solid material including hydrocarbons. The material is thereby heated to a pumpable state and piped to a heating pot where additional steam and diluent are added to maintain the flow characteristics of the material which is then delivered to a remote blending manifold. In the manifold, additional steam and diluent is added to optimize separability of the desired reclaimed material from the waste, whereupon the material is then delivered to a separator, preferably of the vibration screen type. The separator delivers waste material in the mixture to a solids box for disposal whereas valuable reclaimed hydrocarbons are delivered to a recovery tank for re-use, thereby avoiding disposal thereof and reducing the volume of waste material to be disposed of. |
