Abstract

The pyrolysis process for fluid effluents in an enclosure, where they are transformed into solid and gaseous products is characterized in that the said effluents are heated on contact with solid elements, on traversing a pile of said solid elements offering a surface contact per volume unit at least equal to 10 m/m and in that the said solid products are trapped on the surface of said solid elements and are then separated from the latter, so as to be able to regenerate the said solid elements. Continuous or discontinuous pyrolysis apparatus for performing the process according to the invention. Application to the destruction of chlorinated effluents.
