An incineration system for processing solid, semi-solid waste material and sludge includes an incinerator unit which has a horizontally disposed rotary primary oxidation chamber and a generally vertically disposed secondary oxidation chamber which receives gaseous products of combustion from the primary chamber. Baffles within the secondary chamber provide a tortuous gas flow path through the secondary chamber. Gaseous emissions from the incinerator unit pass through a heat recovery boiler, a baghouse and a scrubber tower before being discharged to atmosphere. A control system controls rotation of the primary oxidation chamber and an auger/shredder which feeds waste material to be burned into the primary oxidation chamber. The control system may include a programmable computer for modifying the control functions in response to programmed data relating to the characteristics of material processed in the incineration system.

An incineration system comprising an incinerator unit including a rotary drum having a discharge opening at one end and defining a generally horizontally extending primary oxidation chamber, means defining a generally vertically extending secondary oxidation chamber and having an outlet opening in its upper portion and an inlet opening in its lower portion, said discharge opening communicating with said inlet opening, and baffle means disposed within said secondary oxidation chamber and including a first baffle wall inclined upwardly from a position below the center of said discharge opening and in the direction of said discharge opening for blocking flow of gases and other products of combustion from a lower portion of said primary oxidation into said secondary oxidation chamber, and a second baffle wall inclined downwardly from a position above said discharge opening and in a direction away from said discharge opening, said baffle walls cooperating with each other and with the walls of said secondary oxidation chamber to define a tortuous flow path for gases of combustion flowing from said primary oxidation chamber through said discharge opening and said inlet opening into and through said secondary oxidation chamber to said outlet opening.
