Abstract
PCDF and PCDD compound isomers are generated from the combustion of municipal waste. Reliable thermal destruction of these hazardous compounds requires a residence time of 2-3 seconds at 1200/sup 0/C. Municipal waste incinerators, because of feed heterogeneity, cannot continuously perform this service. Thus it is essential that BACT criteria include the system capability to condense the vapor component of the dioxin emissions and collect the submicron particulate formed as well as the host submicron particulate. With reduction of particulate emissions to less than 15 mg/Nm/sup 3/, the ambient air guidelines of Ontario and New York can be met.
