Description:
This report covers the field demonstration activities of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Mobile Incineration System (MIS) from February 1986 to June 1989 at the Denney Farm Site, Missouri. hese activities were the culmination of a project sponsored by the Office of Research and Development, Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, and Region VII to demonstrate the feasibility of Incinerating hazardous wastes on-site in mobile incineration systems. he initial part of this field demonstration was discussed in an earlier project summary and associated report entitled, "Destruction of Dioxin-Contaminated Solids and Liquids by Mobile Incineration", dated June 1987. he activities discussed in the current report include: modifications made to the MIS to double its capacity and to improve its reliability; the 1987 trial burn for Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and Toxic Substances Contract Act (TSCA) wastes; tests to show the feasibility of processing brominated sludge and cancelled pesticides, including testing for metals emissions; delisting tests for the brominated sludge; site and incinerator closure activities; and the accomplishments, problems encountered, and solutions implemented during the operation of the MIS. n addition, a system availability analysis is presented. he information contained in this report is of benefit to those in the public sector who are considering or are currently applying incineration technology as a remedial alternative.
