Description:
The report gives results of a source test and evaluation of a commercial Chapman low-Btu gasification facility. Objectives were to: characterize the multimedia waste streams and potential fugitive emission and effluent streams from the facility, evaluate the applicability of Level 1 sampling and analytical methodology to such a characterization, and evaluate the particulate removal efficiency of the product gas cyclone. All objectives were met; however, Level 1 methodologies required modification in order to do so. Chemical and biological tests indicated that all multimedia waste and process streams examined contained potentially harmful organic and/or inorganic materials; results were generally confirmed by bioassay screening. The product gas cyclone was approximately 60% effective in removing particulate matter from the raw product gas stream.
