The destruction of hazardous waste and cleanup of contaminated soils by pyrolysis in an indirectly heated rotary kiln system, followed by combustion of the volatiles in a secondary combustion chamber, has been tested in a pilot plant and demonstrated in an industrial scale plant. Deutsche Babcock Anlagen AG conducted comprehensive tests in a pilot plant with throughput rates of 0.5 to 1 ton/hour. following these tests, Deutsche Babcock designed and constructed the industrial scale demonstration plant with a throughput rate of 7 tons/hour for Bergbau Ag Westfalen near Dortmund, West Germany.
