A thermal treatment system includes a thermal treatment chamber(1), a heater(2), a material in-feed arrangement for delivering material to be thermally treated into the chamber, a sensor providing an output indication of the presence of or condition of material in the chamber; and a control system configured to receive and process the output from the sensor means to control the operation of the material in-feed and/or operation of the heater. Material to be treated is fed into an overflow receptacle (106) positioned in an upper portion of the chamber and overflows into an overflow zone of the chamber spaced from the overflow receptacle; The presence or condition of material at the overflow zone is determined by the sensor means and that determination is used to control operation of either the heater or whether further material should be fed into the chamber.
