A method and apparatus for operating an industrial furnace system for treating materials are disclosed, characterized in that the heat which is applied to the material to be treated is partially derived from the combustion of a mixture of waste fuel and water such as sewage slurry. Waste heat generated at the outer surface of the furnace and waste heat generated from the cooling of the treated material is further applied to the slurry to partially dry the waste fuel prior to and during the combustion thereof.
