Brna, T., C. Masser, C. Riley, AND M. Johnston. PERFORMANCE OF EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEMS ON MUNICIPAL WASTE COMBUSTORS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/D-88/267 (NTIS PB89130447).
Description:
The paper reports results of several EPA-supported field evaluations of data on gaseous pollutant emissions from modern municipal waste combustors/incinerators and emissions control by flue gas cleaning systems. The results are presented in terms of acid gas (HCl and SO2), trace organic (dioxin/furan), trace heavy metal, and particulate matter reductions through the use of lime spray dryer absorber/fabric filter and lime spray dryer absorber/electrostatic precipitator technologies. Plans for additional field tests are discussed briefly.
