PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) trial-burn report for the US EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Combustion Research Facility liquid-injection incinerator system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6091706
; ; ;
The report describes a trial burn of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) laden oil and No. 2 fuel oil injected into the liquid incinerator at the U.S. EPA Combustion Research Facility. Destruction and Removal Efficiencies (DREs) in excess of 99.99999% (40CFR 761.70) were achieved, far exceeding the requirement of 99.9999 for the PCB (Aroclor) were achieved in all test cases. Hydrochloric acid removal efficiencies generally exceeded 99.9%. Other emission rates of organic compounds listed in RCRA Appendix VIII were tested and reported.
