An improved thermal oxidizer (10) comprising a combustion chamber (62), a refractory coated mixing device (14) within a plenum (12), a burner (26) mounted outside the oxidizer (10) for ready access, and temperature sensing and control equipment (86). The oxidizer (10) uses the mixing device (14) to induce a static pressure drop between the burner (26) and the oxidizer inlet (16), and a flow passage conveys preheated gas from the plenum (12) to the burner (26). A bend in the combustion chamber (92) provides for recirculation of combustion gases for more efficient burning. The burner (26) can be a commercially available unit that can accommodate inlet temperatures of up to 1200° F., allowing efficient operation of the thermal oxidizer (10).
