Title: An analysis of dioxin production as a function of chlorine feed

Abstract

The effectiveness of decreasing dioxin emissions by reducing incinerator chlorine feeds is the subject of a continuing debate. This paper presents an analysis of the relationship between PCDD/PCDF emissions and chlorine feed at a single hazardous waste incinerator. The data used in this analysis were taken from multiple test series, conducted over a 13 month period, at a hazardous waste incinerator that employs an activated carbon injection system for supplemental control of PCDD/PCDFs. The chlorine feed rates range between 0 and 3,304 pounds per hour, and the PCDD/PCDF emission rates range between 0.7 and 39.0 ng/DSCM {at} 7% O{sub 2}. This analysis reveals that, for a modern hazardous waste incinerator using carbon injection, there is no correlation between dioxin emissions and chlorine feed.
