Summary:1. Field of the Invention An arrangement for treating flora and fauna waste such as garbage under subcritical pressure and temperature. A slurry preparation unit () mixes the flora and fauna waste () with water () and sodium hydroxide () to prepare a slurry. A diaphragm pump () then pressurizes the slurry to subcritical pressure of water (20 Mpa). Subsequently, a hydrothermal reaction tube () heats the pressurized slurry to cause hydrothermal reaction in a subcritical condition thereby obtaining dissolved waste. The dissolved waste is depressurized and fed to an oxidization unit () for oxidation.
