Description:
In this paper, the results of five major testing programs of the U.S. EPA's Cincinnati-based Risk Reduction Engineering Laboratory (RREL) are described. hree of the five programs were carried out at RREL's Incineration Research Facility (IRF), a fully-permitted pilot plant operation located in Jefferson, Arkansas. he fourth program was conducted at a full-scale boiler site in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, while the fifth series of tests was done on the "mini-pilot" scale in Kansas City, Missouri. ll five testing programs featured various aspects of the thermal destruction of hazardous wastes [the first on soil decontamination, the second on evaluating the recently-developed EPA/RREL Incinerability Ranking Index, the third on metals partitioning during incineration, the fourth on investigating the "hysteresis" phenomenon associated with boilers, and the fifth on simulated solar destruction (one of several innovative technologies under development by RREL)].
