Evaluation of candidate monitoring technologies for multi-metal emissions from a U.S. DOE mixed waste incinerator
- Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
- Emission Monitoring, Inc., Raleigh, NC (United States)
A field evaluation of three candidate monitoring techniques for multi-metal emissions from a mixed waste incinerator was performed at the US Department of Energy (DOE) Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Incinerator located at the East Tennessee Technology Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The test was designed to compare measurements of three multi-metals monitoring systems with EPA Reference Method 29 measurements to determine the relative performance of the monitoring systems at varying stack conditions and their deployment potential based on current status. The three monitoring systems were the Hazardous Element Sampling Train (HEST) developed by Cooper Environmental Services, the Trace-AIR on-line inductively coupled plasma (ICP) system from Thermo Jarrell Ash Corporation, and a laser induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) based system from Sandia National Laboratories.
