Title: Rotary kiln incineration III. An in depth study-kiln exit/afterburner/stack train and kiln exit pattern factor measurements during liquid CCl sub 4 processing

Journal Article · · JAPCA, International Journal of Air Pollution Control and Waste Management; (USA)

Temperature and stable species concentration data are presents for various locations within a full-scale rotary kiln incinerator firing natural gas/carbon tetrachloride/air. The data are being collected as part of a cooperative program involving university, industry and government participation. The overall goal of the program is to develop a more sophisticated understanding of and a predictive capability for rotary kiln and afterburner performance as influenced by basic design and operational parameters. Non-uniformities in stable species and temperature exist for this particular kiln, at the kiln exit, under certain operating conditions. Flow perturbations from within the kiln were found to persist into the afterburner, but not into the stack. High destruction and removal efficiencies (DRE's) were achieved under the operating conditions of these tests through adequate secondary combustion processing.
