Sodium Injection (SI) is a commercially available new and retrofit technology used to control SO{sub 2} emissions. This report presents technical guidelines for designing and operating the waste management system of an SI facility equipped to burn coal. Waste transfer, storage, pretreatment/conditioning, transport, and disposal are addressed. Current SI waste management practice is limited; therefore, these guidelines are based primarily on critical waste properties (e.g., chemical constituents, gradation, density, moisture content, flowability, strength, leachate properties, etc.). Consequently, results of waste property tests conducted as part of this study, and test data from other studies are reported and compared. The report also describes the limited existing information on SI waste management practices. Conceptual designs of new and retrofit SI waste management systems are presented to demonstrate the economic impact of SI on waste management. Parametric cost sensitivity analyses illustrate the impact of significant design parameters on waste management costs. 79 refs., 68 figs., 54 tabs.
