ABSTRACT
Incineration systems for hazardous wastes are significantly different from their counterparts for nonhazardous waste. The differences are not, however, in the basic type of combustion technology or associatedAPC system but in the waste receiving, storage, and feeding systems, instrumentation and control systems, and in the intense design and operational attention paid to the reliable, continuous achievement of performance: the burnout of feed material, the abatement of air emissions, and the secure disposal of residues.Also, the regulatory process and scrutiny with agencies of the government (at all levels) and the public are critical elements relative to the cost, time schedule, and basic commercial feasibility for any new hazardous waste facility.
