Waterland, L. OPERATIONS AND RESEARCH AT THE U.S. EPA IRF: ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY93. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/R-94/091.
Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas, is an experimental facility that houses a pilot-scale rotary kiln incineration system (RKS) and the associated waste handling, emission control, process control, and safety equipment; as well as onsite laboratory facilities. uring fiscal year 1993, two major test programs were completed at the IRF; an evaluation of rotary kiln incineration operation at low to moderate temperatures, and a series of tests in which simulated mixed wastes were incinerated to support the Westinghouse Savannah River Company. esults of a pilot-scale test program previously completed, a parametric evaluation of the fate metals fed to a rotary kiln incinerator equipped with a Calvert Flux-Force/Condensation scrubber system, were reported during FY93. etailed plans were developed for four test programs to be completed in FY94; an evaluation of the incinerability of waste and contaminated soil from the M.W. Manufacturing Superfund site; an evaluation of a pulse combustion burner technology under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program; a program demonstrating that U.S. and Russian Federation environmental regulations can be compiled with during the incineration of liquid ballistic missile propellant components; and an evaluation of candidate additives as trace metal sorbents for incineration applications. inally, a fabric filter air pollution control system, including flue gas reheat, was incorporated into the RKS.
