Description:
The paper discusses particulate emissions control and its impacts on the control of other air pollutant emissions from municipal waste combustors (MWCs). Generally, particulate control is an inherent part of the systems used to limit the emissions of these air pollutants. The relationships between MWC air emissions (acid gases, trace organics, and trace heavy metals) control and particulate control are discussed. est results to quantify air pollutant emissions from MWC units and their control are presented and compared with proposed regulations. (NOTE: On December 20, 1989, The U.S. EPA proposed revised new source performance standards for new MWC units and guidelines for existing sources. The proposed national regulations require tighter particulate matter control and address precombustion, combustion, and post-combustion controls, the last two depending on capacity and age of the facility.)
