Abstract
The report summarizes the Waste Management Division's studies for the development of regulations for burning hazardous waste in industrial furnaces. The report includes a characterization of the industrial furnaces which have a capability for burning hazardous waste. The furnaces addressed are cement kilns (wet and dry processes), lines kilns, light-weight aggregate kilns, blast furnaces, open hearth furnaces, sulfuric acid recovery furnaces, and asphalt concrete plants. The report also includes a summary of test data and methods used in determining both organic and inorganic emissions from these devices. The destruction and removal efficiencies of various organic compounds are also determined based on actual test results. Finally cost elements needed for the Regulatory Impact Analysis are also given.
