| Abstract |
The RDF and coal were burned in a small spreader-stoker fired boiler. The parameters that were varied in this program were RDF type and amount of coal burned with the RDF. In two experiments a waste chemical, triethanolamine, was added to the fuel, and its destruction efficiency was assessed. Analysis of the flue gases identified low levels of hydrocarbons, nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide. The particulate loadings increased as the percentage of RDF in the total fuel increased. More than half of the particulate loading was submicron in size when RDF was fired without coal. Large quantities of POM's were detected in those experiments in which the shredded and pelletized RDF were fired in the furnace. No dioxins were detected in those tests in which it was analyzed. In the experiments in which RDF was the only fuel, lead emissions were several orders of magnitude above the levels detected in the coal base run. Based upon the flue gas analysis, the destruction of the triethanolamine was complete. |
