Comparison of dioxin, furan and combustion gas data from test programs at three MSW incinerators

Journal Article · · J. Air Pollut. Control Assoc.; (United States)
Dioxin, furan and combustion gas data from test programs conducted at the Pittsfield, Prince Edward Island, and Peekskill municipal solid waste incinerators were compared to identify similar and discrepant results. Dioxin and furan concentrations sampled upstream of air pollution control devices are related to a variety of combustion gas variable monitored in the high temperature zones of the incinerators. The effects of temperature, excess oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid gas, flue gas moisture, particulate loading and refuse moisture and PVC content are discussed. Conclusions are made and future research needs are discussed.
