Description:
This report addresses certain cost aspects of hazardous waste incineration; specifically capital and operating costs for ionizing wet scrubbers (IWS). It is an addendum to a more comprehensive report 'Capital and O&M Cost Relationships for Hazardous Waste Incineration,' which developed parametric methods for estimating capital and annual costs for incinerators as a function of waste characteristics and quantities, facility capacity, type and location. The earlier study assumed that particulate/HC1 emissions were controlled using a venturi scrubber/packed bed absorber systems. This study includes a IWS systems as a design alternative.
