Apparatus for thermal treatment of solid or liquid waste, by processing the waste material by way of dry distillation and drying, which includes an inlet funnel (2) for introducing the waste material (S, L) to be treated, a heating oven (5), a burner (6) connected to the heating oven (5), containing a cylindrical air-tight drying chamber (3), provided with apparatus for avoiding contact with atmospheric air, where the waste material is heated, a screw conveyor (4) for continuous conveyance of the waste through the drying chamber (3), an outlet zone for extracting the thermally treated waste material, separated in fluid and solid components, vessels (16, 12) for collection of the fluid and solid components, a thermally insulated air-tight evaporation chamber (11), connected downstream of the drying chamber for receiving the heated waste material and for separating by evaporation solid and fluid components of the waste, and provided with outlet passages (14, 13) for extracting vapours and solid components and a condenser (15) placed downstream of the evaporation chamber to condense the vapours to their liquid state. A method of thermal treatment of the waste is also disclosed. |
