Appendices A to C to the 'Municipal Waste Combustion: Background Information for Promulgated Standards and Guidelines - Summary of Public Comments and Responses' (PB91-168534), address key technical issues related to the promulgated rules for municipal waste combustors (MWC's). Appendix A provides analysis of the continuous SO2 control capabilities of spray dryer/fabric filter (SD/FF) and spray dryer/electrostatic precipitator (SD/ESP) control systems for MWC's. Achievable SO2 performance levels for these systems are determined based on the analysis. Similarly, Appendix B provides analysis of continuous NOX emissions data from MWC's. Results are presented for the statistical analysis of NOX data obtained from a grate-fired mass burn waterwall MWC using selective noncatalytic reduction (SNCR) to reduce NOX emissions and from a rotary mass burn waterwall MWC designed to limit NOX emissions through combustion control. Appendix C provides additional MWC emissions test data which became available following proposal of the standards and guidelines for MWC's on December 20, 1989. The appendix reviews data at four MWC's with either unique air pollution control technologies or emissions which are higher than for similarly controlled MWC's that had been previously examined.
