<p>A subterranean incineration system involves a receiving station (A) feeding material via a shredder (B) to a subterranean shaft (C) which is vented to atmosphere at (V). The shaft (C) connects with a substantially horizontal tunnel (T) at a lower end thereof with the horizontal tunnel in turn terminating with an opening (U) to atmosphere. Combustion occurs within the vertical shaft (C). An inner section of the charge tunnel (B) can also be used for drying or pre-combustion of the refuse material fed to shaft (C). Residual matter can be removed via the lower horizontal tunnel (T).</p> |
