A recent project is reported which includes the incineration of organic and aqueous waste streams. The waste steams represent a gross heating value of 26 million kcal/hr (100 million Btu/hr). A system designed to generate approximately 36,000 kg/hr (79,366 lb/hr) of 1138 kPa (165 psig) steam for plant use, would save $5.5 million a year if the steam produced is valued at $20/1000 kg ($9/1000 lb.) The presence of certain components, such as inorganic salts, chlorinated and nitrogen-containing organic compounds, sulfur compounds, and phospho-organics, is critical to the design, and treatment of each is considered. 26 references, 15 figures, 3 tables.
