Process for the joint combustion of off-gases and liquid residues containing chlorinated hydrocarbons

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Off-gases and liquid residues containing chlorinated hydrocarbons, are subjected to joint combustion by forming a mist comprising a mixture of off-gases and atomised liquid residues, the latter being atomised by means of air and/or steam, and directing this mist into a preheated combustion chamber lined with refractory bricks. The mixture is introduced into the combustion chamber Jointly with combustion air through a burner having four feed pipes arranged coaxially with respect to each other and terminating in conically tapered outlets the, three outer feed pipes defining three separate and coaxial annular zones around the innermost feed pipe. The liquid residue fed in and burnt is used in …
