Waterland, L. OPERATION AND RESEARCH AT THE USEPA INCINERATION RESEARCH FACILITY: ANNUAL REPORT FOR FY91. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C., EPA/600/R-92/051 (NTIS PB92239540), 1992.
Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas, is an experimental facility that houses two pilot-scale incinerators and the associated waste handling, emission control, process control, and safety equipment; as well as onsite laboratory facilities. During fiscal year 1991, five major test programs were completed at' the facility: tests to establish residue characteristics from the incineration of spent potliners from aluminum production (K088) for the Office of Solid Waste (OSW); an evaluation of the incinerability of five contaminated soils from the Drake Chemical Superfund site for Region 3; an evaluation of the incinerability of PCB-contaminated marine sediments from the New Bedford Harbor Superfund site for Region 1; a parametric evaluation of the fate of trace metals in a rotary kiln incinerator equipped with a Calvert high-efficiency scrubber system; and an evaluation of incinerability of arsenic-contaminated soil from the Chemical Insecticide Corporation Superfund site for Region 2. ixth test program consisted of an evaluation of the effectiveness of low-temperature thermal desorption in decontaminating wastes from the Caldwell Trucking Superfund site for Region 2, but the program was not as extensive in scope as the others. n addition, the results of a test program completed in FY'90, an evaluation of the thermal stability-based principal organic hazardous constituents (POHC) incinerability ranking for the OSW, were reported. The report outlines all efforts completed or ongoing at the facility during FY'91.
