  • Waste liquid treatment system
    Patent number: 7461834
    Abstract: A waste liquid treatment system includes a heat retaining/storage tank section adapted to store waste liquid, retaining the temperature thereof, an atomization chamber section capable of gasifying waste liquid by atomization and/or thermal vaporization, a heating/decomposition chamber section whose internal temperature is held in a thermal decomposition temperature range good for thermally decomposing harmful chemical substances contained in the mist and/or vapor gas of waste liquid when the mist and/or vapor gas of waste liquid passes through the inside thereof, a rapid cooling section for rapidly cooling decomposed exhaust gas and a vacuum pump section for drawing mist and/or vapor gas of waste liquid.
