Superfund Engineering Issue: Issues Affecting the Applicability and Success of Remedial/Removal Incineration Projects

摘要

Incineration has been a recommended method for disposing of hazardous materials, and its use in the Superfund Program is increasing rapidly. It has become one of the most often selected methods for treating hazardous constituents found at Superfund sites. Because of the increased reliance of Superfund decision makers on incineration, the Engineering Forum has identified the informed evaluation of incineration as a remedy, and the issues inherent in its implementation as a high priority. The paper was prepared by RREL's Engineering and Treatment Technical Support Center, under the technical direction of Laurel Staley (RREL) and Paul Leonard (Region III), with the support of the Superfund Technical Support Project.
