Abstract

Organic contaminants of solid particles, especially oil in drill cuttings, are removed by passing the contaminated particles into a processing chamber, generating a circumferentially directed flow of fluid within the chamber to cause the particles to circulate in the chamber in a turbulent compact band, incinerating the particles and removing them substantially free from organic contaminants from the chamber.
