Emissions Testing of a Wet Cement Kiln at Hannibal, Missouri. Draft Report

摘要

The EPA is developing regulations to control emissions of products of incomplete combustion (PICs) from cement kilns. The emission parameters planned for use in this regulation are total hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. To investigate the use of these parameters as surrogates for PICs, more information from full-scale testing of wet cement kilns is needed. Data are also needed for development of regulations to control emissions of hydrogen chloride. As part of this data-gathering effort, a test was conducted at the Continental Cement Company in Hannibal, MO. One reason that Continental was selected by EPA for the test is that the facility uses a wet process kiln and also burns both liquid and solid (powdered) hazardous waste as supplementary fuels in the kiln. All test activities were conducted for and under the direction of EPA/OSW, Waste Treatment Branch.
