Technology Evaluation Report: SITE (Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation) Program Demonstration Test Shirco Pilot-Scale Infrared Incineration System at the Rose Township Demode Road Superfund Site. Volume 1

摘要

A Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Program demonstrated the Shirco Infrared System (pilot plant) for thermally processing PCB waste at Rose Township, Michigan. The process was evaluated by the U.S. EPA and is reported in Volume I of the report. Results reported in Volume I indicated that PCB was removed from the feed material with a DRE greater than 99.99%. The destructive ratio (percent of PCB in the ash compared to feed) was greater than 83% resulting in a less than 1 ppm concentration in the ash. Particulate emissions, products of incomplete combustion (PICs) and acid gas emissions were below any standards. Metals in the ash leached by the TCLP and EP Tox. were below suggested standards.
