ABSTRACT
Air pollutant emissions have become the focus of public concern and regulatory scrutiny regarding incineration facilities. The fraction of total facility capital cost for system components functionally directed at compliance with air emission limitations is, for many plants, more than 35% of the total investment. Inmany instances, the award of air pollution permits is the pacing and controlling event in the implementation of incineration facilities. Because of these realities, thosewishing to construct and operate incineration systems should explore and understand the relationships between the quantity and characteristics of air pollutant emissions and
The specific chemical and physical characteristics of the wastes to be burned The design features of the combustor The operating conditions in the combustor The control effected by the air pollution control (APC) device(s).
