Description:
The Kepone Incineration Test (KIT) program was undertaken to evaluate incineration as a method of destroying Kepone and Kepone-containing materials and to determine the range of operating variables required for complete destruction. The program was divided into two phases: (a) experiments involving the direct injection of low BTU solutions of Kepone into the afterburner, and (b) experiments involving the coincineration of sewage sludge and various amounts of Kepone injected into a rotary kiln. Each phase was designed so that succeeding experiments involved longer amounts of Kepone and/or alterations in afterburner temperature and residence time.
