Description:
Incineration has been dopted as a proven technology to dispose of: azardous waste regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); Toxic substances under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Sludge waste under the Clean Water Act; Hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA); Extremely hazardous substances under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA); and Pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). lthough there are many potential treatment technologies, none is as universally applicable as incineration to treat the many types of waste governed by the many different Federal laws. ecause of the market need, many mobile thermal technologies (MTTS) have recently been developed and commercialized. his paper provides an overview of current mobile thermal treatment knowledge. t covers background information, the regulatory framework, the technologies, and the future market potential of mobile systems.
