Technology-evaluation report: site program-demonstration test, Shirco Infrared Incineration System, Peak Oil, Brandon, Florida. Volume 1
A Shirco Infrared System used for a removal action at a PCB-containing oil-refining waste site in Brandon, Florida (a suburb of Tampa) was evaluated. The evaluation included a determination of toxics in the material being decontaminated as well as all the effluent streams such as ash, air emissions and wastewater. These streams were analyzed for heavy metals, organics, dioxins, furans, as NOx, and inorganic acids. Leaching tests were performed on the ash. The results indicated that the PCB was reduced from 5 to 100 ppm to less than 1 ppm in the ash, which was the purpose of the removal action. Although research had indicated that the lead compounds in the ash would become insoluble because they would be complexed with carbon, the ash could not be considered non-leachable based on toxicity tests.
