Description:
Emissions of metals and organics from a series of four wastewater sludge incinerators were determined. hree multiple hearth units and one fluidized bed combustor were tested. missions were controlled with a combination of venturi and/or tray impingement scrubbers. ne site incorporated an afterburner as well. Flue gas testing was conducted at the inlet and outlet to the air pollution control devices at two of the plants. eed sludge was also extensively tested for moisture, metals, and organics, as well as overall feed rate and heating value. esting operating conditions were categorized as short-term versus long term or normal (includes transients, start-up, feed interruptions, etc.).
