A properly designed rotary kiln incinerator usually includes a post-combustion chamber, a waste-heat recovery boiler (optional) and a venturi scrubber unit (Fig. 1). Wastes are fed into the kiln for primary combustion with or without a support fuel fired from the front end. Hot gases from the kiln enter the post-combustion chamber where they are heated to the required temperature (2000 to 2200{sup 0}F) long enough to guarantee total destruction of hazardous compounds. Hot gases leaving the post-combustion chamber can be optionally routed to a waste-heat recovery unit or quenched before treatment in the scrubber unit to remove particulates and dangerous pollutants.
