Trial burn activities for a mixed waste incinerator

Incinerator Designed Specifically to Burn Waste Liquids and Sludges

The incinerators described were developed to dispose of waste liquids and sludges fr' om paint and resin plants. The operation of two prototype designs demonstrated: (1) complete combustion without fluid atomization, (2) ability to burn organic liquids containing dissolved and suspended solids, (3) low noise level, (4) smoke-free stack effluent without the use of air pollution control equipment...

Emissions investigation for a novel medical waste incinerator.

Medical waste constitutes one of the waste streams that should be dealt with special priority due to its potential negative impact on public health and on the environment. Incineration is a process that is widely used for the treatment of medical waste. However, self-supporting combustion of medical waste cannot avoid releasing many hazardous pollutants into our environment. The most favored so...

The MSW Incinerator Plant: A Monitoring Tool for Waste Management

Health risk assessment of a modern municipal waste incinerator.

During the modernization of the municipal waste incinerator (MWI, maximum capacity of 180,000 tons per year) of Metropolitan Grenoble (405,000 inhabitants), in France, a risk assessment was conducted, based on four tracer pollutants: two volatile organic compounds (benzene and 1, 1, 1 trichloroethane) and two heavy metals (nickel and cadmium, measured in particles). A Gaussian plume dispersion ...
