National Dioxin Study Tier 4 - Combustion Sources: Final Test Report - Site 2, Industrial Solid Waste Incinerator ISW-A

摘要

The report summarizes the results of a dioxin/furan emissions test of an industrial solid waste incinerator combusting various wastes from the manufacture of wooden windows and doors. The test was the second in a series of several dioxin/furan emissions tests conducted under Tier 4 of the National Dioxin Study. The primary objective of Tier 4 is to determine if various combustion sources are sources of dioxin and/or furan emissions. If any of the combustion sources are found to emit dioxin or furan, the secondary objective of Tier 4 is to quantify these emissions. Industrial solid waste incinerators are one of eight combustion source categories tested in the Tier 4 program. The host solid waste incinerator, designated throughout the report as incinerator ISW-A, was selected for testing after an initial information screening and a one-day pretest survey visit. Data presented in the report include dioxin (tetra through octa homologue + 2378 TCDD) and furan (tetra through octa homologue + 2378 TCDD) results for both stack samples and ash samples. In addition, process data collected during sampling are also presented.
