The case studies present available cost and performance information of full-scale remediation efforts and several large-scale demonstration projects. They are meant to serve as primary reference sources, and contain information on site background and setting, contaminants and media treated, technology, cost and performance, and points of contact for the technology application. The case studies in this volume describe a wide variety of incinerators, including rotary kiln (13), horizontal liquid injection (1), submerged quench (1), and infrared (1). Air pollution controls include secondary combustion chambers (SCC), quench towers, baghouses, cyclone separators, wet scrubbing systems, gas conditioners, mist eliminators, and cooling towers. Contaminants treated by the incinerators included dioxins, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and explosives and propellants. Relatively small and large incineration projects are included, with the quantity of material treated ranging from 4,660 to 496,000 tons of solid material (soil, sludge, and debris) and from 213,000 to 350,000,000 gallons of liquids.
