Abstract:
1. A thermal reactor for oxidative treatment of an effluent gas stream comprising: a housing including an elongate exterior wall, an entry end and an exit end; an elongate interior wall having orifices, the interior wall being positioned within the exterior wall and surrounding a central oxidation chamber, an interior space being defined between the interior wall and the exterior wall; a side inlet coupled to the exterior wall of the housing; and a gas delivery mechanism adapted to introduce a secondary fluid flow into the central oxidation chamber so as to minimize particle build-up on an interior surface of the interior wall; wherein a gas entering the side inlet is introduced into the interior space between the exterior wall and the interior wall, and a portion of the gas so introduced passes from the interior space through orifices in the interior wall into the central oxidation chamber.
