This draft report summarizes the results of a dioxin/furan emissions test of a sewage-sludge incinerator equipped with a wet-scrubber system for particulate-emissions control. The test was the 12th in a series of thirteen dioxin/furan emissions tests being conducted under Tier 4 of the National Dioxin Study. The primary objective of Tier 4 is to determine if various combustion sources emit dioxins or furans. The secondary objective of Tier 4 is to quantify these emissions. Sewage-sludge incinerators are one of eight combustion-device categories that have been tested in the Tier 4 program. The tested sewage-sludge incinerator, SSI-C, was selected for the test after an initial information screening and a one-day pretest survey visit. Data presented in the report include dioxin (tetra through octa homologue + 2378 TCDD) and furan (tetra through octa homologue +2378 TCDF) results for both stack samples and ash samples. In addition, process data collected during sampling are also presented.
