Description:
A trial burn program involving a plasma pyrolysis system was conducted at the Royal Military College, Kingston, Ontario. The plasma pyrolysis unit was developed by Pyrolysis Systems, Inc. under contract to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC). HWERL-Ci under a joint agreement funded the performance evaluation phase. Trial burns were conducted while firing carbon tetrachloride and polychlorinated biphenyls which are RCRA and TSCA regulated compounds respectively. Results from the trial burns indicate that the system is acceptable for treating these two compound classes in reference to the RCRA ( > or = 99.99% DRE) and TSCA ( > or = 99.9999% DRE) requirements.
