    Abstract: Process for achieving complete and relatively inexpensive combustion of solid, semiliquid, and liquid combustible waste materials, and combinations thereof, having low heat value, by incompletely burning a combination of such materials in a first furnace to produce a combustible gaseous exhaust stream, achieving complete combustion in a second furnace of combustible high heat value waste materials to produce a noncombustible gaseous stream, intimately admixing the two streams in an unfired afterburner, without the addition of heat from an auxiliary heat source, while maintaining a minimum admixture temperature above the temperature required for autoignition of the combustibles in the first stream, whereby the heat produced by combustion of the high heat value waste materials is utilized for the spontaneous ignition and complete combustion of the incompletely burned materials. Liquid wastes of high heat value and of low heat value are separately stored, and are variously blended for feed to the first furnace and the second furnace in accordance with the heat requirements of the system to achieve complete combustion of all wastes being burned. The apparatus particularly adapted to perform the process comprises a pair of furnaces, a refractorylined afterburner chamber having no auxiliary heat source, duct means interconnecting said afterburner chamber and each of said furnaces, and exhaust means defined by said afterburner for permitting exhaust of the burned gas stream after combustion is completed. The apparatus preferably includes appropriate draft handling, gas cooling, and particle removal means to render the gaseous atmospheric discharge relatively pollution-free.
