Schindler, P. J. MUNICIPAL WASTE COMBUSTION ASSESSMENT: COMBUSTION CONTROL AT EXISTING FACILITIES. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC, EPA/600/8-89/058 (NTIS PB90-154931), 1989.
Impact/Purpose:
To inform public
Description:
The report provides the supporting data and rationale used to establish baseline emission levels for model plants that represent portions of the planned and projected population of municipal waste combustors (MWCs). The baseline emissions represent performance levels that are expected to be achieved by existing plants in the MWC population that incorporate good combustion practice (GCP). The baseline emissions, developed using the data base from the newest units in the existing population of MWCs, establish performance levels against which the effectiveness and costs of emission control alternatives can be evaluated.
