Gorman, P., R. Hathaway, D. Wallace, AND A. Trenholm. PRACTICAL GUIDE - TRIAL BURNS FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATORS. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/2-86/050 (NTIS PB86190246), 1986.
Description:
The manual concentrates on those aspects of a trial burn that are the most important and those that are potentially troublesome. The manual contains practical explanations based on experience of Midwest Research Institute (MRI) and others in conducting trial burns and related tests for EPA. It includes the comments of several industrial plant owners and operators. It is directed mainly to incinerator operators, those who may conduct the actual sampling and analysis, and those who must interpret trial burn results. It will also be useful for regulatory personnel and others that need to understand trial burns. Potential trouble spots that have been encountered are: (1) trial burns frequently take more time and effort than an operator anticipates; and (2) failure to meet the trial burn requirements.
