Two approved incinerators and three approved chemical destruction processes as well as several demonstrations of burning transformer oil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are among the technologies available for PCB disposal. Some are based on a Goodyear process which strips off chlorine atoms and leaves a harmless non-chlorinated biphenyl. No decision has been made on whether the cleaned oil is reusable. Summaries of each of the technologies indicate that PCB disposal is coming under control for contaminated liquids, although problems remain for PCB capacitors and other solids. 1 table. (DCK)
