Description:
The task of meeting these objectives was accomplished in two phases. In the first phase, information was assembled from the literature on the use and cost of using catalytic incineration for VOC control. This phase of the study provides results in the following areas: A review of current and developing catalytic incineration technology; an assessment of the overall performance of catalytic incinerators; a review of applications where catalytic incinerators are used; a comparative analysis of catalytic incineration with other competing VOC controls; an examination of the available methods for emission testing catalytic incinerators, and an assessment of the need for additional performance test data. The second phase was a testing program designed to increase the catalytic incinerator performance data base. The testing program was planned so that 8 catalytic incinerators at industrial sites would be tested.
