Abstract
A combustion system includes waste, fuel, and oxidizer conduits which exit into a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is lined with refractory within a metal housing and includes a shoulder. A venturi extends between the combustion chamber and an oxidizer manifold mounted on one end of the combustion chamber. The waste conduit communicates with a nozzle in the venturi for atomizing the waste in the combustion chamber. The fuel conduit communicates with ports in the venturi whereby as the oxidizer passes through apertures in the venturi, the fuel is introduced into the oxidizer stream. The mixture of oxidizer and fuel is deflected toward the wall of the combustion chamber where the mixture becomes entrained with the atomized waste from the nozzle. The waste mixes with the mixture of oxidizer and fuel by turbulent flow and is redirected by the shoulder towards the nozzle.
