Incineration R D with near-term potential
The incineration of wastes is rapidly becoming an attractive alternative to landfilling and sometimes is the only means available to destroy hazardous wastes. IGT has been active for several years in the R D of new incineration technologies described in this paper. One innovative technology is a cyclonic incineration system that has several advantages over existing methods and has very high destruction efficiencies especially for gaseous and liquid wastes. Another technique that has been developed is a sloped-grid fluidized-bed incinerator that is ideally suited for the incineration of particulate solids contaminated with hazardous wastes. IGT has also demonstrated technology for natural gas reburning to reduce NO{sub x} emissions from MSW incinerators. All these technologies have been tested and are available for use on a commercial scale. 25 figs., 28 tabs.
