Abstract |
The report presents the findings of a Task Force which was established to evaluate sludge incineration as an acceptable alternative to ocean disposal. Multiple-hearth and fluidized bed furnaces, containing scrubbing devices for particulate removal, were selected for performance evaluation. The sludge, particulate, stack gas, scrubbing liquid, and ash were sampled and analyzed for heavy metals, pesticides, and oxides of nitrogen and sulfur. The results indicated that incinerators are capable of achieving low emission concentrations for the common pollutants. Particulate samples showed a measurable concentration of lead. The ash samples normally showed a higher concentration of the heavy metals when compared with the sludge samples. The pesticides and PCB results indicated complete destruction. |
