Operations and research at the US EPA Incineration Research Facility: Annual report for FY93. Report for October 1992-September 1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7229874

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Incineration Research Facility (IRF) in Jefferson, Arkansas, is an experimental facility that houses a pilot-scale rotary kiln incineration system (RKS) and the associated waste handling, emission control, process control, and safety equipment; as well as onsite laboratory facilities. During fiscal year 1993, two major test programs were completed at the IRF: an evaluation of rotary kiln incinerator operation at low to moderate temperatures, and a series of tests in which simulated mixed wastes were incinerated to support the Westinghouse Savannah River Company. Results of a pilot-scale test program previously completed, a parametric evaluation of the fate of trace metals fed to a rotary kiln incinerator equipped with a Calvert Flux-Force/Condensation scrubber system, were reported during FY93. Finally, a fabric filter air pollution control system, including flue gas reheat, was incorporated into the RKS. This report summarizes all efforts completed or onging at the IRF during FY93.
