A Waste Disposal Company is involved with a project in which waste sludge is oxidized to ash using O2. Inlet conditions to the reactor involve sludge having a velocity (linear, in piping)of approximately 10 fps. Outlet conditions are similar with the exception that the sludge has been transformed to inorganic materials (ash) plus CO2 and water. The temperature of the reactor is in the range of 700-800 F. Products and reactants vary in temperature depending on their proximity to the reactor.
