Abstract

An apparatus for the combustion of a suspension of a combustible liquid and combustible solids in particle shape, for instance carbon particles, includes a tank, a burner unit and a pipe which is connected to the burner unit and which protrudes into the tank where it is connected to a pump system. The pump system includes an eddy current pump with a branched outlet, where one of the outlet branches is connected to the pipe, while the other branch or branches is formed as a nozzle or a jet with its outlet directed into the tank, thus serving to stir the suspension in the tank.
