    摘要: An autoclave is provided for heat treatment of a load whose position relative to the autoclave, whose cross-section and/or whose thermal characteristics may vary along the load, e.g. large panels for an airliner. The autoclave comprises a chamber for receiving the load, a wall of said chamber providing one end thereof and a door providing the other end of the chamber and giving access for insertion and removal of the load. Means is provided for heating gas in the chamber, and a plurality of gas circulation means are provided spaced along the length of the autoclave and each producing a zone for circulation of heating gas. Means is provided for independent control of the rate of heat transfer between the heating gas and the load in said zones and said gas circulation means is arranged to produce a pattern of circulation in which heating gas impinges non-axially onto the load.

    摘要: Solid waste to be treated is introduced into the interior of a rotary autoclave that is downwardly inclined towards its discharge end and has a door at the discharge end. Steam is injected through said door via a plenum chamber in the door so that water and steam pass through a one-way device and then directly into the interior of the autoclave. The one-way device prevents the solid waste from entering the plenum chamber from the interior of the autoclave. The plenum chamber is defined between a region of the door and a plate secured to the door at a small spacing inwardly of the door. The outlet is defined in the plate and the one one-way device is fitted to the outlet.

    摘要: A method for treating municipal solid waste and other waste is provided which comprises: introducing said waste into a rotary autoclave which is downwardly inclined towards its discharge end and has a door at the discharge end; and injecting steam through said door into said autoclave to treat the load. A method is also provided for treating waste, comprising steam autoclaving the waste, anaerobically digesting an organic-rich fraction of the autoclaved waste, recovering methane-containing gas from anaerobic digestion, internally combusting the methane-containing gas to generate power and exhaust gas, and generating steam for autoclaving using the waste heat. A plant for treating the waste may comprise at least one autoclave for steam treating the waste, at least one anaerobic digestion tank for digesting an organic-rich fraction of the autoclaved waste, a recovery system for recovering methane-containing gas from the or each digestion tank, at least one internal combustion engine for combusting the methane-containing gas and generating power, and a steam generator fed with combustion gas from the internal combustion engine for generating and accumulating steam for supply to said at least one autoclave. Also provided is a method of treating waste material in a rotary autoclave, which comprises: loading the waste material into a top opening of the autoclave whilst rotating the autoclave in a first direction in which screw flights within the autoclave convey the waste forwardly along a downwardly inclined body of the autoclave towards a base of the autoclave; rotating the autoclave in a second direction opposite to the first direction so as to establish a circulation of the loaded material between the upper and lower ends of the autoclave to facilitate vacuum and/or steam treatment thereof; and monitoring the load imparted by the autoclave adjacent upper and lower ends thereof during the reverse rotation, increase of the load adjacent the upper end of the autoclave providing an indication of effective load circulation. A door structure for a commercial-scale autoclave based on a castellated door and a locking ring with lock blocks of inwardly facing U-structure is also provided.
