Abstract
The article gives results of tests on five modern municipal waste combustors (MWCs) to characterize or determine the performance of representative combustor types and associated air emission control systems in the regulatory development process. Test results for uncontrolled (combustor outlet) and controlled (flue gas cleaning system outlet) polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are reported, along with pertinent information on other tests. The EPA is revising air pollutant emission rules for new MWCs and preparing guidelines for existing MWCs. These rules will limit emissions of PCDDs, PCDFs, CO2, and acid gases (HCl and SO2) as well as require tighter control of particulate matter emissions.
