Hazardous Waste Incineration

This reference book, aimed at engineers, managers and regulators, provides information on design criteria, operating requirements and implementation procedures for all hazardous waste incineration equipment and facilities. It also defines current regulations and describes ancillary systems and equipment, such as waste heat recovery and air-emissions control systems. The book provides coverage of rotary-kiln, liquid-waste, waste sludge and site clean-up incineration systems. In addition, the author examines waste destruction in industrial processes, incineration at sea and European incineration methods. Procedures for calculating system parameters are presented in a step-by-step manner, with all tables, charts and other design parameters included. The second edition features new regulations on burning waste in boilers and other processes. Metric units are used throughout in calculations.
