The report gives results of an emission test of a new municipal solid waste combustor, in Biddeford, ME, that burns refuse-derived fuel and is equipped with a lime spray dryer fabric filter (SD/FF) emission control system. Control efficiency of the SD/FF emission control system was measured for polychlorinated dibenzo-dioxins (PCDD), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDF), particulate matter (PM), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), sulfur dioxide (SO{sub 2}), and hydrogen chloride (HCl). Additional continuous monitoring was conducted for oxygen (O{sub 2}), carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and total hydrocarbons (THC).
