Incineration Technology: So, Just What Exactly Comes out the Stack.

摘要

The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) protects and safely stores the nation's aging chemical weapons, while working toward the effective recovery, treatment and ultimate elimination of the nation's chemical warfare materiel and to enhance national security. To eliminate chemical warfare agents, CMA uses a variety of technologies approved by oversight and regulatory agencies, such as the National Academy of Sciences National Research Council (NRC) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Incineration technology is used by CMA to eliminate chemical agents, such as nerve agents GB and VX, and mustard or blister agent HD. The stack, usually more than 100-feet tall, is the single feature hardest to miss at facilities that use incineration technology. It is where the facility's incineration emissions are released after they pass through an extensive pollution abatement system, which is designed to cleanse emissions that result from the disposal process. People often ask about this stack more specifically about what comes out of it. Before discussing what comes out the stack, let's outline what goes into the incineration process.
