Abstract
A wet oxidation system comprising a reactor, means supplying liquor and air through preheaters to the reactor, means for cooling the oxidized products from the reactor to substantially less than 200.degree. F, or close to the temperature of the incoming air and liquor, and means for separating the liquid and gas phases at the lower temperature; means for injecting a controlled amount of water into the relatively dry and cool gas stream from the separation means, and means for heating the gas stream with the products from the reactor to substantially completely vaporize the water injected, or completely vaporize and superheat the water injected, and means for delivering the gas stream so generated to a device for recovering mechanical power.
