Waste combustion in boilers and industrial furnaces: Proceedings

Conference · Thu Dec 31 04:00:00 EST 1998

OSTI ID:347792

The BIF (boiler/industrial furnace) specialty conference has become an annual forum for regulators, industry, scientists, equipment suppliers, consultants, and the public to discuss issues revolving around the combustion of hazardous waste. Coming from different perspectives, the common goals of all participants are the protection of human health and the reduction of environmental pollution. Papers were presented that illustrate real-world experiences and the occasional clash between theory and reality. The challenges to write effective regulations that can be achieved by industry and accepted by the public were debated. The papers serve as a starting point and stimulation for interactions between the various interested parties. This year sessions focused on: the proposed combustor MACT rule; developments with CEMs; CKD management; trial burns; permitting; laboratory issues; multipathway risk assessments; and communicating with the public. The 35 papers of the proceedings are arranged under the these topics and have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
