Description:
The report is a resource and guidelines document to aid EPA Regional Offices in interpreting and applying polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) regulations to the thermal destruction of PCBs. As background material, the report describes fundamental processes of combustion, thermal destruction systems, sampling and analysis methodology, and flame chemistry relative to PCB incineration. Administrative considerations, including public involvement, are discussed. Detailed guidelines on the evaluation of Annex I incinerators, high efficiency boilers, and the several stages of the approval process are presented and discussed.
