| Abstract |
The paper discusses the performance of emissions control systems on municipal waste combustors (MWCs). Regulations for MWCs are being developed by EPA under Section 111 of the Clean Air Act. To support this effort, data on gaseous pollutant emissions from MWCs and emissions control by flue gas cleaning systems are being collected and evaluated. Several EPA-supported field tests on modern MWCs have been performed and are reported here. The results are reported in terms of acid gas, trace organic, trace heavy metal, and particulate reductions for units with lime spray dryer/fabric filter (SD/FF) and lime spray dryer/electrostatic precipitator (SD/ESP) controls. Both control technologies achieved over 90% removal of HCl in the four tests reported. The three SD/FF systems removed 99% of the entering chlorinated dioxins/furans. The SD/ESP achieved 62% removal of the entering dioxins/furans. Metals (except mercury) and particulate control by the SD/FF systems was greater than 98%; however, similar measurements were not made for the SD/ESP system. |
