Description:
A demonstration of the American Combustion Pyretron TM oxygen-enhanced burner was conducted under the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) program. he Demonstration was conducted at the U.S. EPA's Combustion Research Facility (CRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas. n eight week test series was conducted which involved burning a mixture of listed waste KO87 with contaminated soil from the Stringfellow Acid Pits under both oxygen enhancement and air-only conditions. erformance under both modes of operation was compared. esults show that the Pyretron operating with oxygen enhancement could meet RCRA emissions limitations at a throughput rate double that for air-only operation. crubber liquor and kiln ash from these tests contained no detectable levels of contaminants from either waste stream.
