Abstract

In one embodiment, the incinerator has three or more aligned stationary, vertical adjacent structures, each of which has a heat-exchange section covered partially by respective plates which are so arranged as to provide between adjacent ones of the sections substantially uniform gas flow paths via a common combustion chamber disposed above all of the sections. In another embodiment, generally cylindrical vertical and aligned sections are provided, each having a heat-exchange bed supported on a perforated member. The level of the heat-exchange elements in each section is kept very low. The tops of the three sections communicate with one another via a generally horizontal, combustion passageway formed between them into which at least one burner is placed. All unprocessed effluents which proceed through and from the top of one bed to the top of an adjacent bed will have traversed paths at more uniform velocities and will have been subjected to high temperature processing substantially all along that path thereby preventing incomplete incineration.
