Abstract

Medium temperature (500.degree. F.-1100.degree. F.) wet off-gases from the final drying zone of counterflow incineration of waste sludge are scrubbed and cooled before heating to final high temperature in an afterburner and the resulting hot dry gases are used to preheat the scrubbed and cooled gases prior to entry of said gases into the afterburner.
