Abstract
The environmental characterization of refuse-derived fuel (RDF)
semi-suspension burning technology was undertaken jointly by
Environment Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) as part of ongoing programs of both agencies that assess
municipal solid waste combustion technologies. The facility tested is
located in Hartford, Connecticut and represents a "state-of-the-art"
technology, including a spray dryer/fabric filter air pollution control
(APC) system for each unit.

Results were obtained for a variety of steam production rates,
combustion conditions, flue gas temperatures, and acid gas removal
efficiencies.  All incoming wastes and each ash residue stream were
weighed, sampled, and analyzed. Key incinerator and APC system
operating variables were monitored on a "real time " basis.  A wide
range of analyses for acid gases, trace organics, and heavy metals
was carried out on gas emissions and all the ash discharges.

Very low concentrations were observed of trace organics, heavy
metals, and acid gases in stack emissions. High removal efficiencies
were attained by the APC system for trace organics and metals in the
flue gas. Trace organic contaminants in the ashes were not soluble
in water, while only very small amounts of most trace metals present
in the ashes were soluble in water. A significant reduction in metal
mobility was achieved for fabric filter ash that was solidified using
cement and waste pozzolanic materials. Multi-variate correlations
were found between trace organics at the furnace exit and indicators
of combustion conditions, such as operating variables and easily
monitored combustion gases. These parameters could potentially be
used to control incinerator operating conditions to ensure minimal
trace organics in the flue gas entering the APC system.

Resume
Environnement Canada et I'Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
des Etats-Unis ont entrepris conjointement un programme de
caracterisation environnementale d'une technologic d'incineration
de combustible derive de dechets (CDD) en semi-suspension, dans le
cadre de leurs activites permanentes d'evaluation de technologies de
combustion de dechets solides urbains. L'installation soumise aux
essais est situee a Hartford (Connecticut) et est a la fine pointe de la
technologic, chacune de ses unites etant dotee d'un systeme
antipollution comprenant un sechoir a pulverisation et desfiltres a
sacs.

On a obtenu des resultats pour un certain nombre de debits de
production de vapeur, de conditions de combustion, de temperatures
des gaz de combustion et de rendements d'elimination des gaz
acides.  Tous les dechets a bruler et toutes les cendres ont etepeses,
echantillonnes et analyses. Les variables de base dufonctionnement
de Vincinerateur et du systeme antipollution  ont fait I'objet d'une
surveillance en temps reel. De nombreuses analyses ont ete
effectuees sur les emissions gazeuses et sur toutes les cendres, pour y
doser les gaz acides, les composes organiques traces et  les metaux
lourds.

De tresfaibles concentrations de composes organiques traces, de
metaux lourds et de gaz acides ont ete observees dans les gaz de
combustion; le systeme antipollution a eu un rendement d'elimination
eleve pour les composes organiques traces etpour les metaux qui
etaient presents dans ces gaz. Dans les cendres, les composes
organiques traces n'etaient pas solubles dans I'eau, tandis que de tres
faibles quantites de  la plupart des metaux traces I'etaient. On a obtenu
une importante reduction de la mobilite des metaux dans les cendres
desfiltres a sacs qui ont ete solidifiees a I'aide de ciment et de matieres
pouzzolaniques residuaires.  On a trouve des correlations
multidimensionnelles significatives  entre les  concentrations de
composes organiques traces a la sortie du foyer et des indicateurs des
conditions de combustion, tels que des variables de fonctionnement et
des concentrations de gaz de combustion faciles a surveiller. Ces
variables pourraient servir de parametres pour la regulation des
conditions de fonctionnement de Vincinerateur, en vue de minimiser les
quantites de composes organiques traces dans les gaz de combustion
qui entrent dans le systeme antipollution.

Summary
The environmental characterization of refuse-derived fuel (RDF)
semi-suspension burning technology was undertaken jointly by
Environment Canada and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(U.S. EPA) as part of ongoing programs of both agencies that assess
municipal solid waste combustion technologies. The main objective
of this program is to define optimum design and operating conditions
in order to minimize emissions of concern. The facility tested is
located in Hartford, Connecticut and represents a "state-of-the-art"
technology, including a spray dryer/fabric filter air pollution control
(APC) system for each unit.

The selected RDF combustion system was tested extensively in 1989
over a two-month period. Based on 28 characterization tests, a
series of 13 performance tests (PT) was successfully completed.  The
13 PT runs provide results at 4 different steam production rates, for
a variety of combustion conditions deliberately set to range from
good to very poor. The PT runs were grouped into 7 discrete test
conditions for the combustion system and 9 test conditions for the
APC system. Operating conditions for the APC system included
3 different flue gas temperatures and a range of acid gas removal
efficiencies deliberately varied from low to high.

All incoming wastes and each ash residue stream were weighed,
sampled, and analyzed. Key incinerator and APC system operating
variables, such as refuse feed rate, temperatures, undergrate/
overfire air distribution, and other process parameters, were
monitored by an extensive computer network system on a "real time "
basis. A wide range of analyses was  carried out on gas emissions
and all the ash discharges, including analyses for polychlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDFs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorophenols (CPs),
chlorobenzenes (CBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
over 30 heavy metals, and acid gases.

The following are some of the key conclusions of the  test program.

.  Very low concentrations were observed of trace organics, heavy
   metals, and acid gases in stack emissions, under all tested
   operating conditions. For example, total PCDD/PCDF emissions
   were less than 1.5 ng/Sm* in all tests.

                                       XVII
High removal efficiencies were attained by the APC system for
trace organics in the flue gas during all tests. For example,
PCDD and PCDF removal efficiencies exceeded 99%.

Removal efficiencies by the APC system typically exceeded 98%
for all metals in the flue gas, except mercury, for which the
removal efficiencies ranged from 96 to 99%.

RDF spreader stoker combustors can be operated with low carbon
monoxide (CO) concentrations under steady state conditions.
Average CO concentrations below 100 ppm were attained in a
number of the 5-to-6 hour tests completed.

Based on an input/output comparison, the estimated average net
destruction efficiencies for trace organic compounds were 96% for
good combustion conditions and 90% for poor combustion
conditions.

Concentrations ofPCDD/PCDF in the bottom ash and grate
siftings were at or below the detection limit. Over 99% of the total
PCDD/PCDF associated with the residues was measured in the
fabric filter ash.

Trace organic contaminants in the ashes, including PCDD,
PCDF, CB, and PAH, were not soluble in water.

Only very small amounts (typically less than 10%) of most trace
metals present in the ashes were soluble in water.

Results from different leach tests indicate that a significant
reduction in metal mobility was achieved through both physical
encapsulation and chemical fixation for fabric filter ash that was
solidified using cement and waste pozzolanic materials.

Significant multi-variate correlations were found between a
number of trace organics (e.g., dioxins) at the furnace exit
(i.e., before APC system) and operating variables, such as
combustion air distribution, that are good indicators of
combustion conditions. These variables were identified as
potential parameters that could be used to control incinerator
operating conditions to ensure minimal trace organics in the flue
gas entering the APC system.

Significant multi-variate correlations were identified between
trace organic emissions from the furnace and easily monitored

-------
                                       xvm
variables, such as carbon monoxide, total hydrocarbons, nitrogen
oxides, flue gas moisture, and furnace temperature. These
variables could be used as early warning signals of high trace
organic emissions to the APC system.

The removal of acid gases and trace organic compounds by the
APC system correlated best with increased sorbent-to-acid-gas
ratio (stoichiometric ratio).

Introduction
1.1 Program Background

The incineration of municipal solid waste
(MSW) offers not only a practical option for
waste management but also a means of
energy recovery.  However, emissions from
MSW incinerators and their environmental
impacts have become issues of major
concern in both the United States and
Canada. The release of previously
undetected metals and trace organics from
poorly designed, controlled, and/or operated
incinerators has caused negative public
perception of MSW incineration.

Recognizing these concerns, regulatory
agencies in Canada and the United States
have undertaken comprehensive programs to
gather and analyze data on MSW
combustion.

As part of its evaluation of incinerator
technology, Environment Canada initiated
the National Incinerator Testing and
Evaluation Program (NITEP).  This program
provides data for determining how
incinerator design, combustion
characteristics, methods of operation,  and air
pollution control  systems affect the release
of pollutants to the environment. Using
criteria established in Phase 1 of NITEP,
Environment Canada has examined
incinerators representing the following
three generic designs:

ซ two-stage combustion (modular
  technology), Parkdale, P.E.I. (Summary
  Report,  1985);
• waterwall moving grate mass-burning
  system, Quebec City, Quebec, (Summary
  Report, 1988); and

• refuse-derived fuel (RDF)
  semi-suspension burning system,
  Hartford, Connecticut (Summary Report,
  1993).

These designs, as well as fluidized bed
combustion and others, encompass projected
future trends in incineration technology.

The U.S. EPA, through the Municipal Waste
Combustion Program, has conducted
performance tests on a number of
incinerators (e.g., in Marion County,
Oregon; Biddeford, Maine; Millbury,
Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; and
Montgomery County, Ohio). This
information has been used in the revision of
air quality regulations for new sources and
guidelines for existing sources.  It has also
been applied to the identification of the
mechanisms by which pollutants, such as
trace organics and heavy metals, are
produced in, destroyed in, or removed from
waste combustion systems and flue gas
cleaning systems.

This summary report outlines an extensive
test program carried out at the
Mid-Connecticut Hartford Project in
Hartford, Connecticut, under the joint
direction of Environment Canada and the
U.S. EPA. Alliance Technologies
Corporation of Lowell, Maine conducted the
tests under contract.

1.2  Program Objectives

The following were the overall objectives of
this joint Environment Canada/U.S. EPA
project.

Environment Canada -

• Define optimal design and operating
  characteristics.

• Relate operating conditions to emissions.

. Identify best practical control options.

• Investigate design and operating
  guidelines for future applications.

• Incorporate accepted dioxin/furan
  sampling and analysis protocols.

• Investigate dioxin surrogates.

• Facilitate construction of new incinerators.

U.S. EPA -

. Establish baseline emissions from a
  RDF-fired combustion source.

• Compare performance and emissions from
  the various types of municipal waste
  combustion systems.

• Evaluate design and operating parameters.

• Evaluate add-on pollution control devices.

. Establish design and operating criteria for
  combustion and flue gas cleaning systems.

Pollutants considered in this program
included tetra- through octa- chlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and chlorinated
dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs),
chlorobenzenes (CBs), chlorophenols (CPs),
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs),
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),
metals, acid gases, combustion gases, and
paniculate matter. Although concerns about
trace organics have focused on
PCDDs/PCDFs, these other pollutants have
been examined for their prevalence in
emissions from MSW incinerators to ensure
that strategies for controlling trace organics
will control all major organic pollutants.

1.3   Refuse-derived Fuel (RDF)
      Test Site

This project was conducted on Unit No.l 1
at the Mid-Connecticut Resources
Recovery facility in Hartford, Connecticut.
This facility is owned by the Connecticut
Resources Recovery Authority (CRRA).
The RDF unit was designed and is operated
by ABB Resource Recovery Systems
(ABB/RRS).  The unit is designed to
handle a full steam load of 105 000 kg/h
(231 000 Ib/hour).  Emissions are controlled
with a lime spray dryer absorber followed by
a fabric filter system. The facility is
described in detail in Section 2. Unit No. 11
was specifically selected for use in this
project because of its availability and the
presence of additional process monitoring
equipment.

Section 2
Description of Facility
2.1   Site Overview

The facility selected for the joint
Environment Canada/U.S. EPA test program
was the Mid-Connecticut Resources
Recovery Facility, owned by the Connecticut
Resources Recovery Authority (CRRA).
This facility was designed and constructed
by ABB/RRS at Connecticut Light and
Power's South Meadows generating station
on the south side of the Connecticut River in
Hartford, Connecticut. The RDF processing
facilities were built on land adjacent to the
existing generating station.

The Mid-Connecticut facility consists of a
waste processing facility, a steam generation
power block, and an electrical generation
system.

The waste processing facility, operated by
the Metropolitan District Commission
(MDC), processes raw municipal waste into
RDF, which is then provided to the steam
generation power block.  The power block
facility is operated by ABB/RRS and
includes three new ABB Combustion
Engineering (CE) boilers, ash handling
systems, and pollution control systems. The
electricity generating portion of the facility
is owned by Connecticut Light and Power.
The facility began operation in 1987.

2.2   Process Description

The facility is designed to process
1814 tonnes (2000 tons) per day of MSW
received from 44 communities in the greater
Hartford area. As shown in Figure 1, the
facility design includes fuel preparation,
steam generation, and combustion gas
cleanup.  The RDF preparation and storage
areas are housed in a separate building
located approximately 360 m south of the
boiler house.  The three RDF-fired,
spreader-stoker boilers are located inside the
boiler house.  Adjacent to the boiler house
are the combustion air preheaters, forced
draft fans, spray dryer absorbers, fabric filter
modules, induced draft fans, and the exhaust
gas outlet stack (Figure 2).

2.2.7  Refuse-derived Fuel
      Preparation/Handling System
As shown in Figure 1, conversion of MSW
into RDF consists of the following steps:

•  reception of the raw MSW at the refuse
   truck unloading area;

.  manual inspection and picking process to
   remove large bulky items, smaller
   noncombustible items, and potentially
   explosive items, such as propane tanks;

.  flailing and primary shredding for cutting
   open bags and reducing size of waste;

•  magnetic separation for removing ferrous
   materials; and

•  trommel screening for dirt, glass, and
   fines removal, and secondary shredding to
   obtain the proper RDF size.

The processed RDF is then conveyed to the
storage area where it awaits transfer to the
boiler house for burning.

Figure 2   Refuse-derived Fuel Incinerator Schematic
The processing facility has two parallel
processing lines to provide high throughput
of RDF as well as a backup system during
scheduled maintenance and downtime. The
processing capacity of one line is sufficient
to maintain load on two of the three boilers.
Two parallel conveyors leave the RDF
storage area, pass through the RDF/coal
midstation, and then enter the upper level of
the  boiler house. Processed RDF may be fed
from either conveyor to any of the three feed
bins above the boilers. Screw auger feeders
are  located within the bins  to break up
clumps of RDF and meter the downward
flow of the RDF to the boiler.

2.2.2   Steam Generating System
The Mid-Connecticut facility operates three
identical  RDF spreader-stoker steam
generators, referred to as Units 11,12, and
13.  Unit 11 was selected for this test
                 program.  Each steam generator is designed
                 for a maximum continuous rating (MCR) of
                 29.1 kg/s (231 000 Ib/h) at 6.1 MPa-gauge
                 (880 psig) and 441 ฐC (825ฐF) when firing
                 RDF.

                 The fuel-burning system includes ABB's
                 Refuse Combustor stoker which has been
                 specifically designed for resource recovery
                 facilities burning RDF alone, or in
                 combination with coal.  Four pneumatic
                 distributors spread the RDF across the width
                 of the combustion grate. The grate includes
                 a self-cleaning key design to remove
                 fused/clinkered ash during grate operation.
                 Ten undergrate air zones (two rows of five
                 each, parallel to the direction of grate travel)
                 allow the operator to optimize the
                 combustion process on the grate and to
                 respond quickly to "piling" situations by

-------
manual adjustment of undergrate air (UGA)
zone dampers.

Coal is a secondary fuel and is used as
required to maintain steam demand from the
boilers. Coal was not fired in Unit 11 during
the testing program.

Each boiler is equipped with  a forced draft
centrifugal fan to supply the required
combustion air. There are separate overfire
air (OFA) systems for RDF and coal. The
OFA system for RDF is equipped with four
tangential overfire air windbox assemblies
located in the furnace corners. At each
corner windbox assembly, there are three
OFA levels that are separately controlled.
Preheated combustion air enters the furnace
tangentially to form a vortex. The resulting
internal recirculation and turbulence in the
bulk gas provide longer furnace residence
times for burning low density RDF particles
entrained by the gas stream. The normal
OFA/UGA distribution percentage is 30/70,
but the OFA capacity can be raised to 50%.

The flue gases generated in the combustion
chamber flow through a superheater, which
is a vertical two-stage design with parallel
steam and gas flow. Upon leaving the
superheater, the combustion gases pass
through a 28-tube deep steam generating
bank which includes a vertical outlet duct to
the economizer. The economizer consists of
two horizontal banks of in-line tubes.
Subsequently, the flue gas goes to a
combustion air preheater.

Each steam generator is equipped with one
3-pass horizontal tubular air preheater.  Flue
gas flows over the tubes and the combustion
air flows through the tubes. A steam coil air
preheater maintains the average cold end
temperature high enough to prevent
sulphuric acid corrosion of the air heater.
After the air preheater, the flue gas flows
through the air pollution control system and
then, via an induced draft (ID) fan, to the
stack.

Each boiler is equipped with soot blowers
located between superheater banks, at the
boiler bank inlet, in the boiler bank centre
cavity, in the economizer, and in the  air
preheater. Ash deposits are released  during
the soot-blowing cycles and are collected in
hoppers under the economizer and air heater.

Ash is removed from each boiler in two
streams. The first stream contains the
bottom ash, economizer ash, and stoker
siftings. A submerged scraper conveyor is
used for bottom ash collection. The second
stream contains the baghouse and air heater
ash. Mechanical flight conveyors are used to
transport the ash streams. The two streams
are combined after the baghouse ash  and air
heater ash have been conditioned in pug
mills. The combined ash stream is then
transported to storage for eventual disposal.

2.2.3   Air Pollution Control System
Each boiler has a dedicated two-stage flue
gas cleaning system composed of a spray
dryer vessel for the absorption of acid gases,
followed by a reverse-air-cleaned fabric
filter for the removal of particulate (fly ash,
reaction products, and unused calcium
hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]). The cleaned gas
stream passes through the system's ID fan
and enters the outlet breeching for discharge
through the common outlet stack. Major
subsystems to the above individual gas
cleaning systems include a common lime
receiving/storage and lime slurry
preparation/distribution system.

The spray dryer absorbs acid gases from the
boiler flue gas and produces a dry product
for disposal. This is accomplished by
introducing a very fine spray of absorbent
slurry into the flue gas stream and providing

-------
                                           8
intimate contact and sufficient time for the
sorption and drying process to occur.  The
spray dryer absorber design consists of the
following major components: inlet flue gas
distributor, rotary atomizer spray machine,
spray dryer absorber vessel, and flue gas
outlet.

Concentrated slaked lime slurry is delivered
on process demand to the individual additive
feed tanks.  There, the slurry is further
diluted with water to the correct
concentration required of the process
parameters (i.e., to achieve the required
spray down temperature and acid gas
removal requirements). The slurry is then
pumped from these individual additive feed
tanks to their corresponding atomizers to be
finely atomized within the spray dryer
absorber vessel.  Note that pond water is the
primary dilution water for slaked lime when
it is available. River water is used when
pond water is not available.

The flue gas enters the top of the spray dryer
absorber vessel through the distributor which
consists of a primary and secondary swirl
chamber. The primary and secondary swirl
chambers distribute the flue gas through
annular openings surrounding the atomizer
wheel. The secondary gas passage can be
set from 100% capacity to near shut-off,
which provides operational flexibility for
boiler conditions from 100% maximum
continuous rating to 40%, without sacrificing
performance. The  spray dryer absorber
vessel is sized to provide the contact
between the flue gas and sorbent necessary
to complete the acid gas sorption reactions
and ensure product dryness.
Adiabatically cooled and treated flue gas
flows from the spray dryer absorber vessel to
the outlet duct. All of the dried product and
ash are entrained in the flue gas as it travels
from the vessel to the fabric filter particulate
removal. This bottom discharge design
eliminates the requirements for absorber
solids removal equipment and avoids
plugging by solids.

Each fabric filter consists of 12 modular
reverse air compartments arranged in two
rows of six compartments. The inlet/outlet
manifolds are located between the two rows.
Each compartment contains 168 woven glass
fiber filter bags arranged in 12 rows of
14 bags. The modular compartments have a
three-bag reach from the walkway area. The
bags are automatically cleaned using either a
differential pressure signal or a timed signal
to initiate the cleaning cycle. The
compartments are cleaned sequentially, one
at a time, with the other compartments
remaining on-line. A bag-collapsing action,
plus reverse air flow, dislodges the dust from
the inside of the bags permitting it to fall
into the hoppers below.

Each fabric filter system is equipped with a
bypass to route process gas directly to the
stack without passing through the fabric
filter. This is necessary in startup and
emergency conditions where high
temperatures, low temperatures, or high
differential pressure may be encountered.
The bypass system is activated either
automatically or manually.

Program Description
3.1  Approach to Testing

The test program conducted at the
Mid-Connecticut Resource Recovery
Facility was designed to address the
Environment Canada and U.S. EPA
objectives described in Subsection 1.2. The
major objectives are to establish baseline
emissions from a RDF-fired combustion
source; to establish correlations between
process operation and emission
characteristics; and to define optimal design
and operating characteristics.

The testing was divided into two phases.
The characterization tests (CT) provided
process data that were used to define the key
operating variables to be investigated in
detail during the subsequent performance
tests (PT).  This first phase also provided the
opportunity to verify test procedures to be
used during the performance test phase. The
PT phase was designed to provide data to be
used to establish correlations between
process operation and emission
characteristics.

3.2   Site Selection

The following criteria were used by
Environment Canada and the U.S. EPA to
select the Mid-Connecticut facility.

•  Refuse-derived fuel is to be used as the
   sole fuel during the test program.

.  The facility is to be representative of
   modern design, including RDF
   preparation and feed systems, boiler and
  combustion systems, and air pollution
  control (APC) devices.

• The facility must have operational
  flexibility incorporating technical
  capabilities, management cooperation,
  permit considerations, and site logistics
  regarding installation of monitoring
  equipment.

• There must be access to sampling
  locations throughout the steam generation
  and APC system.

Site preparation did not require any major
modifications to the feed system, Unit 11
combustion system, or the APC system for
this program. However, many modifications
were required at the sampling points to
provide access to the process streams. These
are discussed in Subsection 3.3.

3.3   Selection and Preparation of
      Sampling Locations

The feed and ash streams were measured or
sampled at ten locations, eight of which
required modifications.  The flue gas stream
had five sampling locations.  These are
shown in Figure 3. The various locations and
modifications used are briefly described in
the following subsections.

3.3.1   Feed Streams
At the RDF preparation area, each load of
RDF was weighed as it was placed onto the
dedicated conveyor by the front-end loader
(one conveyor was dedicated solely to
Unit 11 during each test). The data were

used in determining the mass feed rate and
energy input to the system.

In order to characterize the quality of the
feed to the system, the RDF was sampled at
the RDF midstation, located approximately
halfway between the preparation facility and
the boiler  house. The conveyor housing was
modified with a hinged plywood door to
provide access. A 1.3 m3 box was installed
adjacent to the conveyor for receiving the
composite RDF samples.

The makeup water for the lime slurry was
supplied from the coal pond adjacent to the
coal pile.  Samples were taken from a hose
connected to the pond water supply line just
before the entrance to the final slurry mixing
tank.
The slurry sampling valve was located in the
penthouse of the spray dryer of Unit 11.
This location was selected because of its
accessibility, low slurry pressures, and its
proximity to the atomizer head itself. The
latter factor was especially important due to
slight dilution of the slurry upstream of this
location with a water bleed line used for
cooling purposes. Consequently, the slurry
sampled was "as atomized". The only
modification required was the installation of
a reducing coupling to which a flexible
Teflon sampling line was attached.

3.3.2  Ash Streams
Total collection was used to quantify the ash
production rate of each ash stream for grate
siftings, economizer ash, and air heater ash.
Each location was selected and modified
accordingly  to allow  for the collection of a
separate, discrete ash stream over the course

-------
                                           11
of each test run. Under normal operation, the
economizer ash and grate sittings are
combined within a drag chain conveyor
beneath the boiler before entering the quench
tank.  A large valve was installed in the
economizer ash down-pipe several floors
above the bottom level. A temporary
stainless steel down-pipe was attached to the
valve and the other end of this down-pipe
was on the bottom floor, facilitating
collection of the ash in empty steel drums.

Since the economizer ash was collected
separately, only the grate siftings (GS) were
serviced by the drag chain conveyor. To
collect the entire GS stream before
quenching, the bottom of the inclined drag
chain conveyor was modified just before
entering the quench tank by adding a
collection hopper and downtube. A stainless
steel hose connected the downtube to the
collection drum.

The air heater hopper was unintentionally
plugged during the tests and could never be
cleared out sufficiently to collect any ash
sample.

The analytical characterization of the bottom
ash samples had to be  done  on a dry sample
before quenching.  This was accomplished
by sampling the ash from the view ports at
the front of the boiler from the ash bed itself.
No modifications were required at this
sampling point.

Because the bottom ash dropped directly off
the front of the travelling grate into the
boiler hoppers and then into the quench tank,
the production rate of unquenched ash could
not be measured directly.  Therefore, the
quenched bottom ash was diverted from the
common collector conveyor shared by all
three boiler units into a tare-weighed hopper.
Samples were collected from each hopper
and analyzed for moisture. The net dry
weight of the bottom ash was determined by
correcting for moisture.

A dedicated conveyor collected the fabric
filter ash as it came off the two parallel
West-East conveyors underneath the two
banks of ash hoppers.  The inclined pugmill
conveyor was purposely shut off to allow the
ash to accumulate at its base while the
North-South conveyor was kept in service.
As the ash was deposited, it was collected by
a 15-m3 vacuum truck and weighed to yield
the net ash production rate.

3.3.3   Flue Gas Streams
To verify the flow rate of preheated air to the
boiler, two ports were installed in the twin
horizontal ducts that provide preheated
combustion air to  the OFA nozzles,
undergrate air, and other combustion air
systems.

The air preheater inlet (API) combustion
gas was sampled in the inclined duct leading
from the boiler to  the combustion air
preheater. Sampling point modifications
consisted of the installation of five ports on
the preheater inlet duct and the erection of a
sampling platform and shelter. The installed
ports were oriented on a vertical axis and
were not perpendicular to the gas flow. This
was a deviation from the standard method
for siting isokinetic sampling ports, but was
selected to facilitate sampling at this location.

The spray dryer inlet (SDI) was sampled to
obtain measurement of a variety of organic
and inorganic compounds before they came
into contact with any control device.  As this
was an existing sampling location, only two
modifications were required.  Two ports
were installed to allow the installation of the
continuous emission monitoring (CEM)
equipment. In addition, the platform was
enlarged and safety nets were added.

-------
                                           12
The spray dryer outlet (SDO) was an
intermediate sample point to provide
scrubber outlet measurements of several
gaseous pollutants, including acid gas
concentrations in the APC system. This
point was an existing sampling location with
ports suitable for CEM equipment. The only
modification required was enlarging the
platform.

The fabric filter outlet (FFO) provided for
measurement of a large variety of organic
and inorganic compounds before their
discharge from the stack.  Removal
efficiency data across the APC were
determined for paniculate matter, organic
compounds, trace metals, and acid gases.

The FFO is a vertical rectangular duct with
five ports arranged horizontally across the
face of the duct. However, a diagonal
support beam prevented access to the centre
port for isokinetic sampling.  Consequently,
the trace organics, metals, and hexavelant
chromium trains were traversed through the
remaining four ports. The single point
particle sizing train was run in the centre
port. The volatile organic sampling train
(VOST) was run in a centrally located port at
the back of the duct, on a slightly higher
plane upstream of the isokinetic trains.
Continuous emissions  monitoring probes
were installed in adjacent ports in the back
of the duct.

All process data, continuous gas data,
pressures, and temperatures were monitored
throughout the tests via a data acquisition
system. Relevant process data were
gathered, recorded, and displayed on a
real-time basis. The system is further
described in Section 4.
3.4   Characterization Test Series

3.4.1   Objectives
The major objectives of the characterization
tests (CT) were to familiarize test crews with
the operation of the RDF incinerator; to
identify furnace/boiler/APC operating
conditions that would be most appropriate
for the performance tests; and to verify
sampling and analytical procedures to be
used in the performance tests.

3.4.2   Overview
The CT phase examined incinerator and
APC system performance under steady state
conditions as operating parameters were
changed one at a time. The set of 28
operating conditions encompassed both
normal and potential upset conditions.  The
tests were conducted from January 11 to 25,
1989 and typically lasted one or two hours
each.

The parameters that were monitored during
the CT phase are summarized in Figure 4.
Continuous emission monitoring at the inlet
and outlet of the APC was the major
analytical effort during the CT phase.
Paniculate testing, followed by loss on
ignition (LOI)  analysis, was conducted
during half of the CT runs. During each test,
relevant process data were monitored. In
addition, familiarization runs involving a
U.S. EPA-modified Method 5 train
(U.S.  EPA, 1988) for trace organics were
conducted at the spray dryer inlet and the
fabric filter outlet.

Ash, lime slurry, and RDF sampling were
also conducted during the CT phase to
identify potential complications in obtaining
representative samples. These samples also
provided a limited amount of analytical data
and allowed verification of sample handling
and preparation procedures. Perhaps the

most important aspect of the ash stream
sampling during the CT phase was to verify
expected rates of ash generation.

3.4.3   Process Conditions of
       Characterization Test Program
The characterization test program
investigated the following key operating
parameters for the combustion process:
refuse fuel input rate (steam production
rate); air injection quantity and distribution
(excess air level and distribution); and
combustion process temperature.

For the air pollution control system, the
following key operating parameters were
investigated:  lime stoichiometry (lime
pressure and flow rate), and gas temperature
at the fabric filter outlet.

Five series of tests (Series A to E) that
varied combustion parameters were
completed, as shown in Figure 5. The major
combustion test variables were boiler steam
load, number of overfire air elevations, and
rear wall air condition (on or off).

Four series of tests (Series K to N) that
varied APC system parameters were also
completed (as shown  in Figure 6) and were
integrated into the combustion test series.
The APC test series examined the effect of
stoichiometry at spray dryer outlet (SDO)
temperatures  of 105, 110, 140, and 177ฐC.
The major APC test variables were SDO
temperature and FFO SCซ2 concentration
(SCซ2 removal is generally proportional to
stoichiometry).

3.4.4   Summary of Characterization Test
       Results
Detailed results from the characterization
tests are available in Volume II of the report
series.  Some relevant observations of results
from the CT series are summarized here.
Stable Operation - In an effort to define
stable operation, the variation in steam flow
during each test period was evaluated and
found to typically range from 2 to 8%. An
almost linear relationship was found
between excess oxygen and steam flow.
This relationship indicated that the
combustion air flows could not be changed
as easily as the boiler load.

Low Load Conditions - The low load
conditions presented an operational problem
for the boiler. This mode of operation
provided lower CO emissions during the
characterization test (but not the
performance tests), but was the worst
operating mode in terms of energy
utilization. Therefore, it would not be
economically practical to operate these units
at low load conditions as a normal practice.

Peak Load Conditions - Carbon monoxide
levels increased during most of the peak load
tests due largely to the lack of fuel burnout
before discharge  from the  grate.  These
conditions provide enormous amounts of
heat on the grate, but also  provide improper
combustion conditions caused by the bed
depth on the grate and improper mixing in
the combustion zone.

Optimum Combustion -  Optimum
combustion operation appears to correspond
to a steam production rate between 95 000
and 107 000 kg/h (210 000 and
235 000 Ib/h).  The most effective means of
introducing combustion air was by rear-wall
overfire air (RW-OFA), as this seems to
provide the total mixing required to promote
good combustion and to minimize CO
production. Tangential overfire air systems
must also be used to mix the gases higher in
the combustion chamber.  Proper
combustion air introduction and good
combustion gas mixing corresponded with
even fuel distribution and burning.

3.5   Performance Test Series

3.5.1   Objectives
To provide information on the
environmental effects of RDF incinerator
technology, the major objectives of the
performance tests (PT) were: to establish
correlations between the operating
parameters of an RDF incineration system
and the resultant emissions; to determine and
investigate correlations between combustion
parameters and flue gas compositions; and to
investigate formation of PCDD/PCDF
precursors.

To meet these program objectives, a series of
performance tests were designed to
characterize in detail the feed and effluent
streams while monitoring  the associated
operating parameters. Fourteen separate test
runs were conducted between February 13
and March 1, 1989.

3.5.2  Process Conditions of Performance
       Test Program
The targeted process conditions in the
performance tests evolved from the results of
the CT phase. Process parameters were
chosen to provide test results at four
different  steam production rates, for a range
of combustion conditions ranging from good
to very poor.  The quantity and distribution
of combustion air to the furnace were also
used in grouping the conditions. Operating
conditions for the APC system  included gas
temperature in the spray dryer and SC>2
concentration after the fabric filter, which
served as a surrogate indicator of lime
stoichiometric ratio.

The process conditions tested during the PT
phase for the combustion system and for the
APC system are shown in Figures 7 and 8.

Ideally, triplicate testing would have been
conducted at each combination of operating
parameters. Triplicate testing would
increase the statistical reliability of the data
gathered for each test condition. However,
due to cost and time considerations, only
15 test runs were initially planned. The test
program was further shaped by the decision
that it was more important to obtain as much
valid data as possible at a variety of
conditions than to conduct three runs at five
conditions.

Of the 14 test runs attempted, 13 were
deemed to be valid.  Problems with the
fabric filter ash collection truck invalidated
one test run. The  13 valid runs were divided
into 7 discrete test conditions for the
combustion system and 9 test conditions for
the APC system. The APC system test
conditions are actually a sub-set of the
combustion system test conditions.

The performance test parameters sampled
and monitored are summarized in Figure 9.
Test results for the seven test conditions for
the combustion system are described in
detail in Section 5, while test results  for the
air pollution control system are presented in
Section 6.

Sampling and Analytical Protocols
4.1 Overview

The characterization of process conditions
and emissions of the RDF-fired incinerator
required a wide variety of measurements,
using a variety of sampling and analytical
protocols. These measurements were made
at a number of diverse locations throughout
the facility as shown in Figure 3 and as
discussed in Section 3.

All sampling and analytical methodologies
were based on recognized protocols.
Modifications to existing methods were
sometimes necessary to overcome certain
sampling or analytical difficulties or to
resolve differences in  procedures normally
used by Environment  Canada and the U.S.
EPA.

The sampling and analytical procedures used
for process stream measurements,
combustion gas  sampling, and process
monitoring are described in this section.
Additional information may be found in the
quality assurance project plan (QAPP)
prepared for this program described in
Volume VI and  in the sampling/analytical
methods presented in Volume in
(Environment Canada, 1991).

4.2  Process  Stream Sampling

The process streams were sampled at eight
locations. Three of these were feed streams
to the system (RDF feed to the boiler, and
pond water and lime slurry feed to the spray
dryer). The remaining five streams were ash
discharges from various key locations within
the combustion/pollution control system.
The RDF feed rate was determined at the
RDF preparation area, by weighing each
load of RDF as the front-end loader placed
it onto the dedicated conveyor. A Tuffer
weighing device was attached to the
hydraulic lift system of the loader to provide
this information. The times at which the
loads of RDF were placed were also
recorded.

RDF samples were taken at the point where
RDF dropped off the conveyor into the
boiler feed bin.  A 0.06 m3 (2 ft3) sample
was scooped from the stream every 30
minutes.  To account for residence times in
the feed bin, sampling was begun 15 minutes
before a test run started and ended
approximately 15 minutes before the run
ended.

The collected RDF was emptied into the
mixing box and spread out over the surface
to provide fairly uniform layers.  After
coning and quartering the composite sample
three or four times, the remainder was
divided equally into three portions which
were then double bagged, sealed, and placed
in plastic  pails with scalable lids.

The pond water that was used as makeup
water in the slurry mixing tank was sampled
three times during each test run to further
characterize the lime slurry feed. The
samples were collected from a flexible hose
inside the slurry-mixing room. The valve
was opened and the hose purged before
collecting each grab sample. The samples
were combined in a single 500-mL amber
glass jar.

-------
                                          22
The lime slurry was sampled three times
during each eight-hour test period from a
valve in the slurry supply line leading to the
atomizer head of the spray dryer.  A 150-mL
slurry sample was drawn into the impinger
by a meter box pump.

Grate sittings and economizer ash were
collected in their entirety in tared drums
through flexible downtubes. To determine
ash production rates, the filling time and
weight of each drum were recorded. After
collection and weighing, a core sample of
the ash was taken from the drum.

Dry bottom ash samples were collected at
30-minute intervals during each test run
from the grate through the four rectangular
viewing ports located at bed level in the
front of the boiler.  Due to the high
temperature, a modified stainless steel
pan-type scoop with a long handle and
hinged lid was pushed into the ash bed
through the viewing ports. The composite
container held dry ice to cool the sample and
to quench any continuing combustion.

Quenched bottom ash samples were
collected from a dumpster placed beneath
the drop-off point of the dedicated bottom
ash conveyor, using a trowel or scoop, and
then placed into a five-gallon polyethylene
bucket. When full, or at the end of the test
run, the dumpster was weighed to determine
the total production rate of wet bottom ash.
The moisture analysis yielded the weight of
water from which the dry bottom ash
production rate could be calculated.

Fabric filter ash (FFA) was collected at the
base of the inclined conveyor leading from
the drag chain conveyor to the pugmill. This
inclined conveyor was shut off, allowing the
FFA to settle and collect at its base. A
vacuum truck continuously removed the
FFA out of this area. At 30-minute intervals,
the vacuum truck was shut down to allow
enough FFA to accumulate to provide grab
samples. When full or at the end of each
run, the tared truck was weighed to obtain
the ash production rate.

4.3   Flue Gas Sampling

Flue gas sampling and monitoring were
conducted at the following four locations
downstream of the combustion system: the
air preheater inlet (API); the spray dryer inlet
(SDI); the spray dryer outlet (SDO); and the
fabric filter outlet (FFO).

Parameters examined included bulk gas
composition, particulate matter, particle
sizing, hydrogen chloride, trace organics,
trace metals, mercury,  and hexavalent
chromium.

Continuous Emission Monitoring was
completed at the SDI, SDO, and FFO
locations using the instrumentation and
parameters listed in Table 1. The signals
from the instruments were tied into the data
acquisition system to provide real-time
output.

Flue gas molecular weight was determined
by Integrated Orsat, U.S. EPA Method 3
(U.S. EPA, 1988).  Integrated bag samples
of gas were collected over the course of each
test run at the SDI and FFO locations.  The
Orsat probe was attached to the particulate
sampling probe. A lung-sampling system
collected the integrated stack gas sample into
a Tedlar bag at a rate of 0.1 L/min.

Method 5 Train (MS) was modified for the
collection of particulate matter and metals
(including mercury). The sample train was
operated as a Method 5 particulate train
(U.S. EPA, 1988) with modification to the
impinger configuration to enhance the

collection of the metals of interest
(example A in Figure 10). Additional
preparation for this train and associated
sample containers included precleaning for
metals collection. Paniculate collected on
the filter and in the probe was weighed to
determine paniculate loading and then
analyzed for the metals of interest.

Particle size determination was conducted at
the FFO using Andersen Mark in impactors.
Three runs of different durations were
conducted during the test program. Nozzle
sizes for the first two runs were selected to
maintain a flow rate through the impactor of
0.44 m3/h. The nozzle size was increased to
maintain an impactor flow rate of 1.3 mVh
for the third test, since the very low grain
loading at the FFO required a long sampling
time to collect 50 mg of paniculate.  Gas
flow was monitored and recorded by
observing the pressure drop across a
calibrated orifice. The total dry gas volume
sampled was determined using a calibrated
dry gas meter.

Flue gas samples for determining
hexavalent chromium concentrations were
collected for three runs in accordance with
the protocol in the State of California Air
Resources Board (CARB) Method 425
(CARB, 1982). This procedure calls for the
collection of paniculate matter using
U.S. EPA Method 5, as shown in example C
in Figure 10, then dividing the sample into
equal portions to determine total chromium
and hexavalent chromium.

Modified Method 5 (MM5) sampling trains
were used for the collection of
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins,
polychlorinated dibenzofurans
(PCDD/PCDF), and for other trace
organics. The MM5 sampling train is shown
in example B of Figure 10.
During the performance tests, 13 MM5 runs
were made at the SDI location, 14 runs at the
FFO location, and 4 runs at the air preheater
inlet.  Each run lasted approximately 4 hours
to ensure the collection of at least 3 m3
(105 dscf) of sample gas. The sampling
start/stop times for each location were
coordinated as closely as possible to ensure
near simultaneous sampling.

During recovery of the MM5 trains, an
aliquot of approximately 30 mL was
removed from the condensate impinger for
subsequent HC1 analysis. It served as
backup to the continuous HC1 monitors.

The flue gas was sampled for volatile
organic compounds (VOC) during each of
the 14 performance tests. During each test,
three VOC runs were conducted at the FFO.
The volatile organic sampling train (VOST)
was operated in accordance with EPA
Method 0030 (U.S. EPA, 1988). The train
consisted of a glass-lined probe with a glass
wool plug to remove paniculate matter,
followed by an assembly of condensers and
organic resin traps as shown in Figure 11.

4.4  Process Parameter Measurements

During each test, all facility operating
parameters were continuously monitored in
the control room by appropriate program
personnel, using the project data acquisition
system, which recorded the process and
continuous emissions data for the parameters
listed in Table 2.

These data assisted in identifying whether
the process was operating as planned or
experiencing changes or upset conditions.
Carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (ฉ2)
levels represented the most frequently used
control parameters. Changes in these values
initiated a review of the incinerator's

primary process control parameters as well
as a visual inspection of the combustion
chamber.

Visual inspections of the furnace burning
zone were frequently carried out by the
combustion expert to determine whether the
burn was occurring evenly on the grates.  If
unusual conditions were noted, the control
system was adjusted by the operators to
avoid burning conditions that were outside
the selected target.  The furnace burning
zone was generally observed every half hour
with special aspects and unusual conditions
noted in the log book. During periods of
abnormal operation, observations were made
as frequently  as every 5 to 10 minutes.

Visually inspecting the ash discharged from
the incinerator to the quench tank and on the
drag chain conveyor from the quench tank
was part of the furnace observation routine.
This observation was done primarily to
identify if and when ash quality was
deteriorating.

4.5   Data Acquisition System (DAS)

The complexity of this project required a
sophisticated  and well planned data
acquisition system (DAS) that integrates
data gathering, reduction, validation, and
reporting procedures.

With regard to data gathering, the DAS was
designed to automatically retrieve all outputs
from instrumentation, including process
data, on a continuous basis and to ensure that
this information was correctly stored on a
hard disk. As a backup, a hard copy of
averaged values was printed every
6 minutes.  The system could also recall
previously recorded information.
Linked in a network configuration, five
microcomputers monitored the following
instrumentation:

• the continuous gas analyzers;

• the exhaust gas thermocouples and
  pressure drop (velocity) measurement;

• combustion air temperature;

• the facility process controller, with its
  instrumentation and set-point values.

Data acquisition software was custom
designed to:

. continuously receive data from the
  data-logging equipment at 30-second
  intervals for the CEM data and 90-second
  intervals for the process data, from
  approximately two hours before each test
  started until approximately one hour after
  test completion;

• convert and store the data in a standard
  numeric format;

. display statistics, a process schematic, and
  graphical summaries on a real-time basis;

• provide access to the data from a remote
  location via a modem.

For process monitoring, 43 process  points
were monitored by the DAS through the
facility controller. Four important process
parameters were calculated: combustion
efficiency, flue gas heat loss, excess air, and
steam efficiency. These  values were
recalculated after every scan, and the current
values displayed along with the maximum,
minimum, and 6-minute  rolling average
values.

-------
                                           28
The constant availability of data proved
invaluable during the test program, because
it allowed process upsets to be quickly
identified. The data replay feature clearly
provided a better understanding of the
process and emission trends.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(QA/QC) procedures were instituted for the
Data Acquisition System. Continuous
emissions data were monitored by project
staff and verified by QA/QC personnel to
ensure that data sent corresponded to data
received  and stored. Zero and calibration
voltages  were recorded for each CEM before
and after each test. A comparison was made
between  pre-test and post-test voltage
readings  to determine if the percentage drift
was within acceptable limits. These data
were reviewed by QA/QC personnel. For
each Performance Test, a report containing
six-minute averages, graphics, and statistics
(average, minimum, and maximum for each
CEM channel) was provided to project staff
for review.

Data processing involved reworking the
data retrieved during the test runs into a
more meaningful form (i.e., producing
6-minute averages, graphics revealing trends
in process parameters, and a summary
report). Any problems were identified,
noted, and accounted for. The overnight
turnaround of data greatly assisted the team
in evaluating the success of previous tests
and in determining new operating conditions
for the following tests. All comments from
the QA/QC personnel were reviewed and
any necessary corrections were made the
following day. In this manner, many
potential problems were  avoided in the field.

Datalogger summary reports from the data
processing included the following:
• Calibration Matrix report, documenting
  the detailed history of the state of the nine
  continuous stack gas monitoring
  instruments over the duration of each test
  run;

• Interval Average reports for each
  datalogger, displaying the 6- and
  30-minute averages of selected channels
  over the duration of the test run;

• Channel Descriptions and Statistics report,
  displaying the average, maximum,
  minimum, percent variance, and standard
  deviation for all process and
  instrumentation data;

• summary presentation of steam
  characteristics, primary and secondary air
  flow rates and distributions, grate speeds,
  and boiler temperatures.

The data manually recorded on the sampling
train field sheets for each sampling train
were entered into the computer (along with
sample recovery data from the field
laboratory) and processed overnight for each
test run. Summary reports were available on
a daily basis for each test run. Between
successive tests, 11 different graphs were
produced, combining process and continuous
gas data. Anomalies were investigated and
corrections made as required. Following
performance testing, all data were verified
and corrected as required.

4.6  Laboratory Analytical Procedures

4.6.1   General
Each sampling train used in this program
required a distinct sample recovery
technique. The techniques  used generally
followed the procedures detailed in the
respective sampling protocol (i.e., U.S. EPA,
ASME, CARD) listed in Table 3.

-------
                                          29
One notable variation for the trace organic
sampling train (MM5) was the use of
ethylene glycol in the second impinger for
consistency with previous NITEP programs.
Additionally, the back half components were
soaked once with acetone  and once with
hexane to improve recovery of the trace
organic compounds from these components.
These were deviations from the Quality
Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) submitted
for this program.

Another deviation from the original QAPP
was HC1 sampling. During recovery of the
MM5 trains, an aliquot was  removed from
the condensate impinger for subsequent HC1
analysis, as backup to the  continuous HC1
monitors.

For the particle size distribution samples, not
enough particulate was collected to provide
measurable cutpoints, due to the very low
grain loading. The filter substrates were
photographed and a qualitative assessment
of each substrate was done.

A chain-of-custody procedure was
established to document the identity of
sample handling from first collection as a
sample until analysis and data reduction
were completed. Custody records traced a
sample from its collection through all
transfers of custody until it was transferred
to the analytical laboratory.  Internal
laboratory records documented the custody
of the sample from its collection through its
disposition.

4.6.2   Analytical Protocols
The analytical laboratories responsible for
each parameter and appropriate
methodologies used are given in Table 3.

To determine the calorific value of the RDF,
a weighed sample was burned in an oxygen
bomb calorimeter under controlled
conditions and the calorific value was
computed from temperature observations
made before and after combustion.

The trace metals that were analyzed in each
sample are listed in Table 4. Before
conducting the metal analyses, it was
necessary to release the analytes of interest
from the environmental matrix in which they
were held, so that the final analytes in the
digestate were stable and interferences of
organics and other possible analytes were
eliminated or minimized. For this program,
digestions were accomplished using the
3000 Series Digestion Methods as listed in
EPA SW-846 (U.S. EPA, 1986).

Aqueous and solid samples were prepared
for atomic absorption (AA) or inductively
coupled plasma (ICP) using the digestion
procedures outlined in SW-846
Method 3010 and Method 3050 (U.S. EPA,
1986) for aqueous and non-aqueous samples,
and Method 3060 for refuse and ash. Flue
gas samples for metals analysis were
prepared in accordance with the procedures
specified in the EMB protocol  (Volume III,
Appendix D of this report series,
Environment Canada, 1991).

One notable exception in the analytical
procedure used for mercury is the use of
potassium permanganate at 6%
concentration, as opposed to 5%
concentration in U.S. EPA Method 7470
(U.S. EPA, 1986) and potassium sulphate at
saturation (as opposed to 5% concentration
in Method 7470). These were added to
further oxidize the sample and minimize
interferences from anions such as chloride
and sulphide.

Arsenic was analyzed using a gaseous
hydride atomic absorption procedure as
outlined in SW-846, Method 7061
(U.S. EPA, 1986), with the following minor

modifications. Hydrochloric acid and
sodium iodide were used in place of
stannous chloride to reduce the arsenic to its
trivalent form (APHA Method 303E, APHA,
1985).

Chlorides were determined using ion
chromatography. An aliquot from the MM5
train condensate (first impinger) was injected
into a stream of 4-hydroxyl benzoic acid
eluent before entering a separation column.
The separated anions were measured on a
conductivity detector and identified based on
their retention time relative to known
standards. Quantification was based on peak
area single electronic integration.

Paniculate samples (front half acetone rinse
and the filter) collected from the
particulate/metals train underwent
gravimetric analysis before being submitted
for metals analysis. The gravimetric
analysis followed the procedures outlined in
U.S. EPA Reference Method 5 (U.S. EPA,
1988). The gravimetric analysis requires
measuring the weight gain on the paniculate
filter and the residue left over in the acetone
rinse of the front half train components. The
gravimetric analysis requires desiccation of
the samples before determination. Samples
were weighed to a constant weight of
ฑ0.5 mg.

The Environment Canada River Road
Environmental Technology Centre
laboratory analyzed RDF, ash, and flue gas
samples for semivolatile trace organics
including PCDD/PCDF.  All samples
generated during two of the runs were
selected for high resolution gas
chromotography/mass spectroscopy
(GC/MS). Several other flue gas samples
(MM5) were selected for analysis by
high-resolution GC/MS.  Some of the dry
bottom ash and grate sifting samples were
combined for analysis. Two runs were
analyzed separately. The target semivolatile
organic analytes in this program are listed in
Table 5.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) in the
gaseous streams were analyzed from each
VOST run. The samples collected from each
VOST run consisted of a Tenax cartridge
and a Tenax/charcoal backup cartridge. For
every third run, the condensate impinger
sample was recovered.

Tenax tube samples were analyzed for
volatile organics using the thermal
desorption GC/MS procedures specified in
Method 5040 of SW-846 (U.S. EPA, 1986).
Condensates were analyzed using Method
8240 (U.S. EPA, 1986) via purge-and-trap
GC/MS.  The volatile analytes are listed in
Table 6.

4.7   Statistical Data Analysis

Since all  sampling and laboratory results and
process measurements were entered into the
computer via the data acquisition system
described in  Subsection 4.5, an extensive
matrix of data was produced for each
performance test. Accordingly, it was
possible to perform statistical analysis of
these data using the technique of regression
analysis.  This technique generates a
mathematical model that best describes the
relationship between sets of data.

Single regression analysis was first used to
screen the database for relevant trends and
correlations. The initial screening was for
relevant linear relationships between pairs of
variables. In most research, it is difficult to
find a regression line, especially a straight
one, that perfectly fits the data. A measure
of the "goodness of the fit" is given by the
correlation coefficient, R, and its square, the
determination coefficient, R2. The

determination coefficient is often used in
statistics because it is always a positive
value, thus providing a convenient way of
comparing the "goodness of fit" of different
regression models. Furthermore, R2
describes the portion of the total variance
that is explained by the correlation with a
value of one representing a "perfect fit".

For this project, it was decided to focus on
relationships with R2 values of greater than
0.5.  For this program, regression analysis
was based on 13 test runs and the critical R2
value for 13 pairs of data for a 5%
significance is 0.306. Therefore, the use of
0.5 as the  low end cutoff for determination
coefficients is within the 95% confidence
interval.

Subsequent to an initial screening based on
single linear regression, multiple regression
correlations were generated using the
Statistical Analysis System (SAS) computer
package. This package examines all
possible combinations of independent
variables and selects the  group of variables
that shows the best relationship with a
dependent variable, i.e, highest R2.

The results of the statistical analyses for the
combustion system are presented in
Section 5 and for the air pollution control
system, in Section 6.

4.8   Quality Assurance/Quality
      Control (QA/QC)

Due to the broad program scope and the
number of parties involved in the project
team, considerable effort was made to blend
the activities of all parties together to ensure
a high level of Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC).  Alliance Technologies
Corporation established its own internal
QA/QC program in parallel with an
independent external QA/QC program
coordinated by the U.S. EPA's Emission
Measurements Branch.

In general, the QA/QC personnel were
responsible for overseeing all sampling and
analytical  aspects of the test program to
ensure the sample quality.  The

-------
                                           34
responsibilities for the internal and external
QA/QC activities are summarized in Table 7.
Briefly, QA/QC activities included:

. ensuring compliance with accepted
  Environment Canada/U.S. EPA test
  methods;

• ensuring that the respective operators and
  sample handlers thoroughly understand
  and adhere to recommended equipment
  procedures and their corresponding
  calibration;

• verifying that all equipment was
  functional, proofed, and calibrated to
  obtain the desired data quality;

ป ensuring that all test personnel understood
  the procedures that they followed, and
  subsequently, regularly verifying during
  the test that the procedures were followed
  correctly;

. ensuring sample integrity for analysis
  throughout collection, recovery, and
  transfer;

• ensuring the quality of the data collected
  through data acquisition and processing;

• collecting duplicate samples for the
  various test processes, for independent
  analysis; and

• verifying laboratory procedures for
  organic and inorganic analysis.

The purpose of setting quality assurance
objectives was to ensure that data of known
and acceptable quality was produced. The
U.S. EPA, Environment Canada, and
Alliance Technologies collaborated to
develop the Quality Assurance Project Plan
(QAPP), which defined QA/QC criteria,
such as levels of precision, accuracy,
representativeness, completeness, and
comparability. These allowed for an
adequate evaluation of the tests. Quality
Assurance criteria were developed for the
following critical analyses: metals, chloride,
dioxins/furans, and calorific value.
Laboratory and field blank samples were
taken and analyzed to provide a quantitative
assessment of the occurrence of sample
contamination.

Results of the QA assessment of the
chemical analyses of all samples are
provided in Chapter 7 of Volume II
(Environment Canada, 1991).

The QA/QC program represented a
significant effort and expenditure of
resources for the project.  It provided both
internal and external control over all
elements and activities of the test program.
It provided assurance for sample quality and
assisted in immediate identification of
potential problems.

The findings of both the internal and
external QA/QC programs indicated that the
field study was executed properly, according
to the stated sampling and analytical
protocols, using properly calibrated and/or
proofed equipment.  Samples collected
during this  test program were deemed to be
representative and the data reported were
complete and accurate.  To the best of the
QA/QC auditors' knowledge, any errors,
omissions,  and problems are correctly
documented in the reports.

A more extensive discussion of the QA/QC
program and results can be found in
Chapter 7 of Volume II and in Volume VI of
this report series, (Environment Canada,
1991).

Section 5
Performance Test Series for Combustion System
5.7   Overview

The performance test (PT) results and key
findings for the combustion system are
summarized in this section. The PT results
for the air pollution control system are
provided in Section 6.

The performance test series was conducted
from February 14 to March 1, 1989.  As
described earlier, 13 PT test runs were
successfully conducted using 7 different test
conditions for the combustion system. One
full day was required for each run. The test
crew used run PT-01 as a "practice" run to
trouble-shoot and evaluate the sampling
system.  Because data from the run PT-01
are incomplete, it is not included in this
report. Volume IV of the test report series
(Environment Canada, 1991) presents all the
data generated during the test program.

As discussed in Section 3, the objective of
the PT Series was  to evaluate the
combustion system and air pollution control
system under different operating conditions.
Load (steam flow rate) and combustion air
flow rates/distributions were the primary
independent variables for combustion
performance tests. The target test conditions
for the performance tests evolved from the
characterization test phase, but it was
necessary to modify these during the PT
Series due to changes in plant operation and
performance. The seven operating
conditions tested for the combustion system,
are summarized in Figure  12 for each of the
13 test runs.
A major goal of this project was to
determine combustor emissions of trace
organics and metals under different process
operating conditions. To account for the
inherent variation in the flue gas
characteristics, multiple PT runs were
conducted for four of the seven combustion
test conditions. Single  test runs were
performed for only three of the test
conditions.

Some of the key findings determined from
an analysis of the test data for the
combustion system are listed below and are
discussed in more detail in this section:

• Good combustion conditions resulted in a
  96% net destruction  efficiency for trace
  organics as determined by a comparison
  of the total quantified organics in the
  facility input (RDF feed) and output (ash
  and stack emission) streams. The net
  average destruction efficiency for
  quantified organics for poor combustion
  tests was 90%.

• When comparing CO emissions with
  PCDD/PCDF emissions, the arithmetic
  average of CO emissions over the testing
  period provided the best correlation with
  PCDD/PCDF concentrations at the spray
  dryer inlet.  However, the correlation was
  poor when considering only those tests in
  which CO averaged  below 200 ppm for
  the test period.  Other comparisons of
  PCDD/PCDF concentrations with the
  number or magnitude of CO spikes and
  the percent of time above an absolute CO
  level produced less significant correlations.

-------
                                       37
For poor combustion conditions, average
total hydrocarbons (THC) or CO emission
is the best single indicator of
uncontrolled PCDD/PCDF emissions,
with determination coefficients, R2 of 0.97
and 0.95 respectively.

For good combustion conditions,
entrained paniculate matter at the spray
dryer atomizer inlet is a fair indicator of
uncontrolled PCDD/PCDF emissions
(R2 = 0.60).

Previous laboratory and field tests have
shown that PCDD/PCDF concentrations
increase when the flue gases pass through
the 400 to 150ฐC temperature range.
Contrary to earlier findings, the
PCDD/PCDF emissions decreased when
the flue gases passed through this range.
This reduction may be related to the rapid
cooling and/or the relatively short time the
paniculate matter was held at this range.
The flue gas  passes through this range in
the air preheater which has a short
residence time of 1.5 to 2 seconds.

The best multiple regression prediction
models for uncontrolled trace organic
emissions typically use two or more easily
monitored variables that characterize or
identify the combustion process (i.e., CO,
NOX, HC1, furnace temperatures, and
moisture).

The best multiple regression control
models for uncontrolled trace organic
emissions typically use two or more
combustion operation variables that
impact lower furnace combustion
conditions (i.e.,  undergrate air flow,
rear wall air flow, moisture, and total
combustion air).
5.2   Summary by Performance Test
      Run

Some of the key data generated during each
PT run for the combustion system are
summarized in Tables 8 and 9. Key process
data for the combustion system are presented
in Table 8 per test run. Parameters shown
here include combustion parameters, feed
and ash mass rates, and flue gas flow rates.
Some of the flue gas data measured at the
SD inlet per PT run are presented in Table 9.
Detailed test results per PT run, including
the organic and metal analyses of the RDF
feed stream and the various ash streams
leaving the combustor, as well as trace
organics and metal analyses for the  flue gas
at the air preheater inlet, SD inlet, and FF
outlet are presented in Volume II of the
report series (Environment Canada, 1991).

The test runs are categorized by the steam
load (low, intermediate, normal, or high) and
combustor operation (good, poor, or very
poor).

Combustor operation is rated by the average
carbon monoxide level for the run, measured
at the spray dryer inlet, as follows:

good:       CO < 200 ppm
poor:        200 ppm < CO < 400  ppm
very poor:   CO > 400 ppm.

5.3   Summary by Performance Test
      Condition

Key performance test data for the
combustion system for each of the seven
operating conditions are shown in Appendix
B, while more detailed performance data are
available in Appendix A.  These data are
discussed in small segments in this
subsection.

5.3.1   Process Data
Process operating conditions for the
combustor system, including steam and
refuse feed rates, process temperatures, and
ash rates are shown in Table 10. The steam
production rate ranged from 73 000 kg/h
(160 000 Ib/h) for the "low load" condition
to 107 000 kg/h (235 000 Ib/h) for the "high
load" condition.  Normal production was
96 000 to  100 000 kg/h. Refuse feed rate
was 19 000 kg/h for the low load, but the
refuse rate was within a narrow range
(27 000 to 30 000 kg/h) for the other loads.
Accordingly, there is a poor correlation
between refuse feed rate and steam
production.  The distinction between "good
operation" and "poor operation" using CO as
the parameter is clearly shown: CO is below
200 ppm for good operation and over
200ppmfor  poor operation.

5.3.2   Continuous Emissions Monitoring
       (CEM)Data
Test condition averages for the CEM data
are given in Table 11 and include CO, CO2,
O2, THC,  SO2, NOx, and HC1 at the spray
dryer inlet (SDI).

The CO concentrations at the SDI are
reconstructed from measurements at the SDI
and fabric filter outlet (FFO). Two CO
analyzers were used during the test program.
One was located at the spray dryer inlet and
the other at the fabric filter outlet. The scale
of the analyzer at the SDI ranged from 0 to
500 ppm.  The analyzer at the FFO read
values greater than 500 ppm.  The most
reliable data from both analyzers were used,
and a new data set (corrected to 12% CO2)
was reconstructed for the CO concentrations
at the SDI and FFO. If either analyzer
measured  less than 500 ppm of CO, the
reading from the analyzer at the SDI was
used. If both analyzers read greater than
500 ppm of CO, the value from the analyzer
at the FFO was used.

Excess oxygen appears to correlate inversely
with steam load (i.e., higher O2 [10%] at low
load and lower O2 [6 to 8%] at higher steam
load).

As expected, the SO2 and HC1 at the spray
dryer inlet were not affected by combustor
operation. Based on averages for each PT
operating condition, inlet SO2 was in the
range of 170 to 200 ppm and inlet HC1
ranged from 400 to 470 ppm,  which is
typical for MSW incinerators. Variation in
SO2 and HC1 at SDI location is attributable
to differences in the amount of chlorine and
sulphur in the refuse feed. Control  of acid
gases is discussed in Section 6.

Total hydrocarbon concentrations were 2 to
6 ppm for "good operation", and
significantly higher (14, 29, 52 ppm) during
"poor combustor operation".

5.3.3  Trace Organic Concentrations
Concentrations of trace organics measured at
the air preheater inlet and spray dryer inlet
for each performance test condition of the
combustion system are summarized in
Table 12. The concentrations at the spray
dryer inlet are assumed to be the
concentrations at the exit of the combustion
system, before treatment in the air pollution
control system.

It is relevant to note that, in general,
concentrations of all trace organics at the
SDI, except PCB (which is relatively low),
were much higher under  poor combustion
conditions than under good combustion
conditions.  This is clearly illustrated in
Table 13. Accordingly, combustor
operations have a significant effect on trace
organic concentrations in the  flue gas. The
use of carbon monoxide and total

hydrocarbons as measures of combustion
conditions that affect organic emissions is
discussed in Subsection 5.6.2. Removal of
trace organics by the APC system was
excellent. This is further discussed in
Section 6.

5.3.4   Particulate/Metal Concentrations
The concentrations of paniculate matter and
selected trace metals from the combustor
system for each performance test condition
of the combustion system are summarized in
Table 14. The significant removal of these
compounds by the APC system is discussed
in Section 6. It is interesting to note that
there is no significant difference in
concentrations of particulates and trace
metals under poor operation and good
operation of the combustion system.

5.3.5   Analysis of Refuse-derived Fuel (RDF)
Ultimate and proximate analyses were
performed on the RDF and are reported on a
dry basis in Table 15. The content of trace
organics and selected trace metals in  the
RDF for each performance test condition are
also summarized in Table 15.  The higher
heating value of the RDF was in the range of
18.1 to 20.9 MJ/kg (7 800 to 9 000 Btu/lb)
(dry basis).  The ash content of the RDF
ranged from 12.5 to 18.2% (dry basis), with
most results between 16 and 17%. Chlorine
content was relatively broad (0.36 to 0.84%),
as expected. Sulphur content was 0.19 to
0.31%. Generally, there was a very wide
range in the amount of trace organics or
trace metals present in the RDF samples,
which is to be expected when analyzing for
compounds at very low concentrations.

5.3.6   Ash Analysis
The content of trace organics in the various
ash streams for each performance test
condition is summarized in Table 16. Data
for the fabric filter ash is also provided to
illustrate that trace organics are highest in
the fabric filter ash and lowest in incinerator
ash.

Trace metals in the various ash streams for
each performance test condition are
summarized in Table  17. These results are
further discussed later in this report.

5.4  Organics: Input/output Analysis

Combustion is an effective means of
reducing waste and of rapidly converting its
organic constituents to carbon dioxide, water
vapor, and ash.  The average net destruction

efficiencies of the organics are listed in
Table 18. The average net destruction
efficiency was determined by first
subtracting the mass rate of the inputs from
the sum total mass rate of the outputs and
dividing by inputs.  Negative values, such as
those noted for PCDF and CB, indicate a net
increase (formation) of a particular class of
compounds.

For all organics except chlorobenzene,
greater destruction is achieved for good
combustion than for poor combustion.  An
overall net destruction efficiency for the
combined tests was found to be 94.5%.
Similar results were obtained for the net
destruction efficiencies from the Quebec
City combustion tests (Environment Canada,
1988). The Quebec City unit is a mass burn
municipal waste incinerator with an
electrostatic precipitator (ESP). The
input/output for each stream for dioxins and
furans is shown in Figure  13. Each bar in
the figure represents the average amount
(mg/h) of quantified organic material found
in each stream during these tests. Note that
the concentrations of organics in the
incinerator ash, economizer ash, and stack
emissions are extremely low. Also note
slightly greater output levels of organic
material during poor combustion as
compared to good combustion.

5.5   Formation of Nitrogen Oxides
      (NO*)

In modern municipal waste combustors,
there is a general tendency to produce higher
temperatures and better mixing in the
combustor to reduce carbon monoxide (CO)
and organic emissions. The higher
temperatures and better mixing also lead to
higher NOX emissions. The trade-off
between CO and NOX emissions is shown in
Figure 14. This figure contains 30-second
readings from the continuous emission
monitors for performance tests 3 and 9. For
both good and poor combustion tests, low
NOX emissions correspond to high CO

emissions and low CO emissions correspond
to high NOX emissions.

The test average CO versus NOX is shown in
Figure  15. Note that the plots are not linear
but hyperbolic. Therefore, a region exists at
the base of the curve where moderate CO
and NOX emissions are achievable. By using
a second order curve fit on the data (good
combustion, normal load), a minimum
average CO emission value of 71 ppm can
be estimated to maintain a maximum
average NOX concentration of 180 ppm (all
new MWCs over 225 Mg/day in the U.S.
must comply with an NOX limit of 180 ppm).

5.6  Furnace Formation of
     PCDD/PCDF

The two predominant theories regarding
PCDD/PCDF formation are (1) that
                                        PCDD/PCDF is associated with the
                                        entrained particulate matter (PM) leaving the
                                        furnace, and (2) that PCDD/PCDF is formed
                                        in greater quantities during combustion
                                        upsets (or during periods of high CO
                                        emissions). The following analysis of the
                                        test data will show that, during periods of
                                        good combustion, a parameter indicating
                                        PCDD/PCDF formation in the furnace is the
                                        amount of entrained particulate matter
                                        exiting the furnace. For periods of poor
                                        combustion, the predominant parameter with
                                        which PCDD/PCDF formation is correlated
                                        is the level of organic matter escaping the
                                        furnace, as indicated by elevated carbon
                                        monoxide (CO) or total hydrocarbon (THC)
                                        concentrations. Accordingly, reducing PM
                                        carryover, and the frequency and magnitude
                                        of CO excursions, will result in lower
                                        PCDD/PCDF concentrations before
                                        pollution control.

5.6.7   Good Combustion - Effects of
       Entrained Particulate Matter
Data from the Mid-Connecticut test program
show a fair correlation (R2 = 0.61) between
entrained paniculate matter and
PCDD/PCDF at the spray dryer inlet for test
conditions of good combustion. As shown
in Figure 16, PCDD/PCDF increases with
increasing carryover of paniculate matter.
This supports the findings from other MWC
test programs at Quebec City (Environment
Canada, 1988) and Montgomery County
(Kilgroe et a/., 1992), and the belief that the
concentration of PCDD/PCDF leaving the
stack is associated with the relative
concentration of entrained paniculate matter
leaving the combustor. One possible
interpretation is that the paniculate matter
provides all or some of the necessary
components for forming PCDD/PCDF.
These components may include reaction
sites (surface area), metallic  promoters, and
organic precursor material (probably fused
ring structures). Therefore, reducing
carryover of paniculate matter will reduce
uncontrolled PCDD/PCDF emissions.

It should be noted that the relationship
between entrained paniculate matter and
PCDD/PCDF emissions is significant only
for good combustion. When all combustion
test conditions are examined, no statistically
significant relationship is found (R2 = 0.17).
The relationship for all test conditions is
shown in Figure 17.  The scatter is great.
During times of poor combustion,
parameters other than PM carryover provide
better prediction of the concentration of
PCDD/PCDF leaving the combustor, as
discussed in Subsection  5.6.2.

5.6.2   Poor Combustion - Effects of
       Carbon Monoxide Emissions
The level of carbon monoxide is a direct
indicator of combustion efficiency.  High
levels of CO imply that the flue gases were

Figure 17  PCDD/PCDF versus Particulate at Spray Dryer Inlet for all Tests
not held at a high temperature in the
presence of oxygen for a sufficient time
period to convert the CO to CC"2. Very high
levels of CO correspond with an increase in
total hydrocarbon (THC) emissions and
other organics, such as volatile compounds,
semi-volatile compounds, and soot. It is this
organic material that is believed to be
converted into PCDD/PCDF.

The theory that higher levels of organic
material escaping the furnace lead to greater
levels of PCDD/PCDF was first examined
by plotting the average CO and THC
concentration versus the PCDD/PCDF
concentration. As can be seen in Figures 18
and 19, there is a strong correlation between
CO, THC, and PCDD/PCDF. Note that the
correlation appears stronger for poor
combustion tests than for good combustion
tests.
Poor combustion implies that greater
amounts of organic material escape the
combustor unburned. In the correlation
between CO and PCDD/PCDF, use of only
the poor combustion tests would improve R2
from 0.70 to 0.95.  This can be interpreted to
mean that, for all tests, the variation in CO
emissions can be used to explain 70% of the
variation in PCDD/PCDF from the furnace.
For the poor combustion tests, however,
95% of the change in PCDD/PCDF values
can be explained by the change in CO
emissions. Similarly, the correlation
between THC and PCDD/PCDF improved
from an R2 value of 0.68 when considering
all test runs, to 0.97 for poor combustion
tests  only.  These correlations are consistent
with  the theory that, during periods of poor
combustion, the amount of organic matter
escaping the furnace strongly influences the
formation of PCDD/PCDF.

The CO and THC data generated by the
continuous emission monitors can be viewed
as periods of stable combustion on which
short periods of unstable combustion are
superimposed, where CO and THC
concentrations are substantially higher. One
would expect higher concentrations of
PCDD/PCDF for test conditions which had
many combustion excursions. One method
of evaluating the possible contribution of
unstable combustion conditions (CO
excursions) to PCDD/PCDF emissions is to
examine the percentage of operating time
above a given CO concentration. The
correlations between portion of time above a
given CO concentration and the
PCDD/PCDF concentration was examined
for increments of 50 ppm. It was found that
the correlations steadily improve until the
portion of time that CO is greater than
400 ppm was reached, where R2 was 0.61.
Above this value, only slight improvements
in the correlations were observed. The
amount of PCDD/PCDF versus percent time
that the CO exceeded 400 ppm is shown in
Figure 20.

The test average CO value was a good
indicator of other organic compounds
besides PCDD/PCDF, such as
chlorobenzene, chlorophenols, and
poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
Uncontrolled emissions of all these organics
increased with increasing CO concentration
with an R2 over 0.83. The plot of CO versus
polychlorinated biphenyls showed no
correlation, but this may be due to the
extremely low concentrations measured
(<70 ng/Sm3).

In summary, formation of PCDD/PCDF
increased in the presence of greater levels of
organic material as indicated by higher CO
emissions. At low levels of CO (or small
amounts of organic material), other factors,
such as paniculate matter carryover,
probably played more important roles in
determining the amount of PCDD/PCDF
formed.  As CO levels increased above

200 ppm, the amount of PCDD/PCDF
increased. The formation appears to be more
strongly related to absolute CO levels than to
excursions of CO above stable operation.
Combustor temperature did not vary
significantly and therefore it did not appear
to affect organic emissions.

5.7   "Downstream"orLow
      Temperature Formation of
      PCDD/PCDF

Low temperature  or "downstream"
formation of PCDD/PCDF has been
observed in many municipal waste
combustors as the flue gas cools through the
temperature range of 400 to 150ฐC
(Schindler, 1989). At the Mid-Connecticut
facility, the temperature range associated
with maximum net formation rates occurs in
the air preheater.  During the testing
program, four PCDD/PCDF samples were
taken at the air preheater inlet for
comparison with concentrations at the spray
dryer inlet to evaluate the formation or
destruction of PCDD/PCDF as flue gas and
fly ash pass through the temperature range
where low temperature formation of
PCDD/PCDF has been observed in other
experiments. The results are shown in
Figure 21. Contrary to expectations, a
decrease across the air preheater was
observed in total PCDD/PCDF for all test
runs, with only PCDD increasing during
test 10.

The observed reduction at this facility may
be related to the short time the entrained
paniculate matter is held in the formation
temperature range. The residence time of
the flue gas in the air preheater is only 1.5 to
2 seconds. The flue gases pass through the
peak formation temperature (572ฐF)
somewhere within the air preheater. This
short time of less  than two seconds may not
allow significant formation of PCDD/PCDF
to occur.  In addition, it may be speculated
that the observed reduction in PCDD/PCDF
concentration is also due to decomposition in
the duct before the air preheater.

Another possible explanation is artifact
formation of PCDD/PCDF in the sampling
probe used at the air heater inlet. The flue
gas temperature at the exit of the economizer
averaged  from 371 to 388ฐC. Therefore, the
gases must pass through the low temperature
formation window before entering the
constant temperature filters (121 ฐC) of the
sampling  train. It is possible that
PCDD/PCDF is formed in the probe.  The
actual preheater inlet concentrations may
thus be lower than the spray dryer inlet
concentrations and PCDD/PCDF may form
across the air heater. Artifact formation
would be  expected to have a less significant
impact when sampling at temperatures less
than 150ฐC, such as at the spray dryer inlet.

5.8  Effects of Carbon in Ash on
     PCDD/PCDF Concentrations

Economizer ash hopper samples were
subjected to weight loss-on-ignition (LOI)
tests to provide information that could be
used to evaluate correlations between
organic material in the ash and the amount of
PCDD/PCDF leaving the  combustor.  The
relationship of economizer ash LOI to
PCDD/PCDF concentration at the spray
dryer inlet is shown in Figure 22.  As one
would expect, the plot does show that the
LOI (i.e.,  fraction that is carbon) is lower
during good combustion than poor
combustion test conditions. A positive
correlation is observed between
PCDD/PCDF concentrations and LOI,
i.e., increased PCDD/PCDF appears to be
associated with increased  LOI.  This is
similar to laboratory results that have shown

5.9
                     ecting Emissions
     of Carbon Monoxide
Low CO emissions indicate good
combustion conditions while high CO
emissions correspond to poor combustion
conditions. One of the objectives of the
overall test program was to evaluate
combustion system performance by
determining: minimum achievable CO
emissions; operating conditions resulting in
low CO emissions (<200 ppm corrected to
12% CO2); and potential methods of
reducing CO emissions.

Average CO emissions of less than 150 ppm
with steady state minimum CO emissions of
30 to 50 ppm were achievable over the tested
range of boiler loads. The mode of overfire
air system operations that consistently
produced the best mixing and performance
was identified for each boiler load. At the
low and intermediate loads, the best
performance as indicated by CO and THC
emissions was achieved using two elevations
of TOFA nozzles (no RW-OFA) and an
OFA/UGA flow split of nearly 50/50.  The
best performance at normal and high load
was achieved using two elevations of TOFA
nozzle plus the RW-OFA nozzles (upper row
only) and an OFA/UGA  flow split of nearly
50/50.  Average CO levels for good
combustion conditions are moderately
sensitive to the UFA/UGA flow split. All
other combinations tried  produced poorer
results.

Operating oxygen levels  also had an impact
on CO emissions. High CO emissions

                                          60
occurred when operating with too much or
too little combustion air. This finding
suggests that improving the system control
and maintaining the operating Oz level
within a narrower range (less than 4% 02
variation) would result in lower overall CO
emissions.

5.10 Multiple Regression Analysis -
      Combustion System

5.10.1 Overview
As described in Section 4, statistical analysis
is an important technique used to study the
performance test data obtained. The primary
goals for applying statistical analyses to the
combustion system were to determine which
emissions and operating parameters can be
used as  surrogate indicators for predicting
trace organic emissions from the combustor,
and to identify how various combustor
operating parameters affected emissions
from the combustor (before treatment in the
APC system).

This resulted in the development of two
types of models:

(a) prediction models that provide a method
   to predict trace organic emissions from
   the combustor by monitoring more
   readily measurable parameters; and

(b) control models that identify combustor
   operating variables which can be
   adjusted to control and minimize the
   formation and release of trace organics
   from the combustor.

For the  combustion system, the
concentration of each of the trace organics at
the spray dryer inlet was selected as the
dependent variable for modelling by linear
regression analysis.
The independent variables were separated
into two groups. Those that were used to
generate prediction models are referred to
as the "monitoring variables". Those that
were used to generate the control models
are referred to as the "control variables".

The monitoring variables for the prediction
models are: carbon monoxide; nitrogen
oxides; water; oxygen; total hydrocarbons;
hydrogen chloride; sulphur dioxide; furnace
temperature; boiler temperature; economizer
temperature; and air preheater gas outlet
temperature.

Some of the control variables or operational
settings for the control model include: total
undergrate air flow; main steam flow; rear
wall air flow; total overfire air flow; and
RDF moisture.

The final number of variables used in the
"best fit" models was based on the
reviewers' experience and judgement. In
most of the cases, three-variable models
were chosen as being adequate.  In a few
cases, two-variable or four-variable models
were selected as the best fit.

Some of the models are illustrated in this
section using graphs that show a straight
diagonal line to mark the position of a
perfect match between the measured values
and the calculated values. Data points
represented by numbers 2 to 14 correspond
to the performance test runs PT-02 to PT-14.
The models for each of the organics
examined can be better understood by
examining these graphs. The closer the
numbers are to the diagonal, the stronger the
model.

Two parallel lines have been placed on each
side of the diagonal of these graphs: one
above and one below the perfect fit diagonal.
These are each displaced from the perfect fit

-------
                                          61
by a distance equal to the average of the
absolute values of all the residuals. The
band formed by these lines is called the
residual band and is used to visually
represent the R2 value. The residual band
has no statistical significance beyond the
purpose of visual comparisons between
correlation models. The narrower the
residual band, the closer the numbers
approach the diagonal and, therefore, the
higher the R2 values  and the better the
model. As more variables are added to the
model, the residual band should become
narrower or else the model should be
rejected.  A wide residual band indicates a
poor model.

The tables that accompany the figures show
the progressive increase in R2 values
achieved by going from a one-variable
model to a two-variable model,
three-variable model and four-variable
model. The best fit model is highlighted in
each table.

5.10.2 Dioxin Models
As  shown in Table 19, the prediction model
for PCDD that used NOX, CO, and moisture
in the flue gas resulted in one of the highest
R2 values (0.89). As shown in Figure 23,
this model has a narrow residual band with
most of the points falling within these bands.

A similar model using NOX, CO, moisture in
the flue gas, and furnace temperature
resulted in a higher R2 (0.928).  As discussed
earlier, concentrations of PCDD before the
APC are related to unburned organic
material.  The four variables that gave the
best fit are indicators of or directly influence
the completeness of the combustion process.

Unfortunately, the control models do not
provide correlations that are as strong as
those for the monitoring variable models.
As  shown in Table 20, maximum R2 was
0.67.  The model variables that provide the
strongest correlations are combustion air
flows and RDF moisture. These parameters
also influence mixing and combustion
completeness. It may be assumed then that
some reduction in PCDD could be achieved
by effective control of these parameters.

5.10.3 Furan Models
The variables that produced very good
predictions of PCDD concentrations at the
spray dryer inlet also produced good
predictions of PCDF at the spray dryer inlet.
For the monitoring model with the highest
R2 (0.811), three  of the four variables (CO,
FhO, and furnace temperature) are indicators
of combustion conditions.  The fourth
variable is HC1.  As discussed earlier, the
amount of chlorine in the refuse is believed
to influence the formation of PCDD/PCDF.
High concentration of chlorine can also
suppress combustion reaction rates.  The
best three-variable monitoring models for
PCDF (R2=0.78) are shown in Figure 24.
This model uses CO, NOX, and moisture.

The control models for PCDF concentrations
at the spray dryer inlet use the same
variables as the control models for PCDD,
i.e., combustion air flows and RDF moisture.
Maximum R2 was 0.67.

5.10.4 Models for Other Trace Organics
The monitoring models to predict
concentrations of chlorophenols (CPs),
chlorobenzenes (CBs), and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the
combustion system (before APC) typically
contained variables that are indicators of
combustion performance, i.e., CO, THC, or
NOX.  Many of these models also contained
expressions for moisture variables (RDF
moisture content or flue gas moisture
content) that directly or indirectly  affect
combustion conditions. The R2 for the best

models was typically 0.96 to 0.97. Further
details on these prediction models are in
Volume II of the report series (Environment
Canada, 1991).

The best control models for CP, CB, and
PAH for the most part also contain variables
that are related to combustion difficulties (a
high RDF moisture content) or combustion
air flow distribution problems. Further
evaluation of the effects of RDF moisture
content and combustion air variables leads to
the conclusion that organic emissions from
the combustor are strongly related to
combustion conditions in the lower furnace.
The best control models had R2 values of
0.83 for CP, 0.81 for CB, and 0.66 for PAH.
Further details are in Volume n of the
report series (Environment Canada, 1991).
Good predictive or control models were not
found for PCB emissions from the
combustion system.

Performance Test Series for Air Pollution Control System
6.1   Overview

In this section the performance test results
and key findings for the air pollution control
system, including concentrations at the inlet
to the APC system (i.e., spray dryer inlet)
and emissions from the fabric filter to the
stack are summarized.  The APC system test
series consists of the same 13 PT runs
discussed in Section 5. As shown  in Figure
25, however, these tests have been regrouped
into the nine different operating conditions
of the air pollution control equipment.  The
data discussed in this section pertain only to
the APC system, whereas the data  in Section
5 were relevant only to the combustion
system. Concentrations at the spray dryer
inlet are common to both systems  and are
used in both sections.

One objective of the PT tests for the APC
system was to evaluate emissions and
pollutant removal efficiency at different flue
gas temperatures and lime addition rates
(i.e., stoichiometric ratio). Sulphur dioxide
concentration at the fabric filter outlet was
used as a surrogate for stoichiometric ratio.
Due to budget constraints, it was not
possible to do duplicate runs for each of the
nine test conditions.

6.2   Summary by Performance Test
      Run

Some of the key data generated during each
PT run for the APC system are summarized
in Tables 21 and 22. Specifically,  key
process data for the APC system, such as
flue gas temperatures, pressure drops, lime
slurry parameters, and flue gas flow rates are
presented in Table 21.  Some of the emission
data at the inlet and outlet of the spray dryer
and at the fabric filter outlet are presented in
Table 22. More detailed test results for each
PT run are presented in Appendix A and in
Volume II of the report series, (Environment
Canada, 1991).

The PT runs for the APC system are
categorized by flue gas temperature at the
spray dryer outlet (low, medium, and high)
and SCh concentration  at the fabric filter
outlet (which serves as a surrogate indicator
of lime stoichiometry).

6.3   Summary by Performance Test
      Condition

Key performance test data for the APC
system for each of the nine operating
conditions are shown in the nine figures in
Appendix C. These data are discussed in
small segments in this section.

6.3.1  Air Pollution Control Process Data
Key process data for the APC system,
including flue gas temperature, slurry flow,
and SO2 at the fabric filter outlet (which is
an indicator of lime stoichiometry) are
presented in Table 23.  The APC test
conditions are grouped into three broad
categories based on the temperature of flue
gas at spray dryer absorber outlet: low
(120ฐC), medium (140ฐC), and high (165 to
170ฐC). These three temperature ranges
were selected to indicate the effect of the
degree of cooling of the flue gas (i.e.,
temperature at the spray dryer outlet) on the
overall removal of pollutants by the APC
system.  For the low temperature category,

atomizing slurry flow was highest (98 to
125 L/min). For the high temperature
category, atomizing slurry flow was lowest
(34 to 57 L/min) and provided less cooling
of the flue gas, as desired for test purposes.

Within each of the temperature categories,
the amount of lime was allowed to vary from
very low to medium to a high amount [which
is indicated by high SCh (over 100 ppm),
medium SC>2, (21 to 100 ppm), and low SOa
concentrations (under 20 ppm) at the fabric
filter outlet]. Since lime stoichiometric ratio
was not readily known, SO2 concentration at
the fabric filter outler was used as a
surrogate, which immediately indicated the
relative amount of lime used.

6.3.2   Continuous Emissions Monitoring
       (CEM)Data
The CEM data for SO2, HC1, and THC are
summarized in Table 24 for each PT
condition of the APC system.  This includes
CEM data at spray dryer inlet (SDI), spray
dryer outlet (SDO), and fabric filter outlet
(FFO).

Sulphur dioxide concentrations at the spray
dryer inlet (i.e., from the combustor) ranged
from 170 to 200 ppm, which is typical for
MSW incinerators.  Sulphur dioxide was
between 100 and 160 ppm at the SDO and
between 9 and 190 ppm at the FFO,
depending on the flue gas temperature and
the amount of lime used.  Sulphur dioxide
removal efficiency is illustrated in Figure 26.
Clearly, SO2 removal by the APC system
can be easily controlled and can range from
good removal (over 90% and less than 20
ppm at stack) to poor removal (under 20%
and more than 100 ppm at stack), depending
on operating conditions selected for the
spray dryer and fabric filter.  As shown in
Figure 26, up to 60% of SOi removal occurs
across the spray dryer, the balance occurring
across the fabric filter.

Hydrogen chloride concentrations at the SDI
(i.e., from combustor) ranged from 400 to
540 ppm, which is typical for MSW
incinerators. Hydrogen chloride was
between 10 and 50 ppm at the SDO for all
PT conditions (except PT9 at 146 ppm) and
8 to 40 ppm at the FFO for all PT conditions
(except PT9 at 98 ppm). Hydrogen chloride
removal efficiency is illustrated in Figure 27.
It is clear that HC1 removal over 95% and
stack emissions below 20 ppm are possible,
depending on the operating conditions
selected for the spray dryer and fabric filter.
Because of its high reactivity, HC1 removal
exceeded 92%, even when there was low
SO2 removal of 20%.  Most of the HC1
removal occurred across the spray dryer; the
fabric filter accounted for less than 10%
removal of the total HC1.  A more detailed
discussion of operating variables for removal
of SO2 and HC1 is provided in
Subsection 6.4.

6.3.3  Trace Organic Concentrations
Trace organic concentrations at the SDI (i.e.,
leaving the combustor) and at the FFO (i.e.,
after the APC system) are summarized in
Table 25 for the different PT conditions of
the APC system.

PCDD was reduced from a range of 70 to
400 ng/Sm3 to less than 0.6 ng/Sm3. This is
a PCDD removal efficiency of more than
99.7% in all cases (except for PT9 at 99.2%).

PCDF was reduced from a range of 300 to
1000 ng/Sm3 to less than 0.6 ng/Sm3 in all
cases, except PT5 at 1.1 ng/Sm3. The
removal efficiency for PCDF exceeded
99.9% for all test runs.

In summary PCDD/PCDF removal was
consistently high for all test runs and APC
operating conditions. Because PCDD/PCDF
removal was so high, it is difficult to
distinguish whether process operating
parameters had any significant effect on
removal efficiency or whether differences in
removal efficiency are due to limits in
sampling and analytical precision. Statistical
analysis for correlations and multiple
regression analysis indicated that APC
operating conditions appeared to have little,
if any, effect on PCDD/PCDF control. HC1
concentration at FFO, FF pressure drop, and
SD outlet temperature appeared to have a
weak impact on PCDD removal. As each of
these parameters increased, PCDD removal
decreased slightly. Note, however, that
PCDD removal was over 99.2% in all cases.

There is a wide variation in concentration at
the spray dryer inlet.  As discussed in
Chapter 5, the higher values occurred under
poor operating conditions of the combustor
system. The significant reduction in CB,
CP, and PAH concentrations across the APC
system is apparent in the data presented.
Removal efficiency of CB, CP, and PAH by
the APC system was significant; over 94%
for CB and CP, and over 60% for PAH. Low
PAH removal efficiencies were typically
associated with low PAH inlet
concentrations.

PCB concentrations at both locations were
relatively low; under 40 ng/Sm3. PCB was
not detected at the fabric filter outlet (i.e., the
stack) for almost all operating conditions,
except where spray dryer outlet temperature
was relatively high (i.e.,  165ฐC).

6.3.4  Particulate/Metal Concentrations
The range of paniculate and trace metal
concentrations is summarized in Table 26,
for the spray dryer inlet and  the fabric filter
outlet.

Paniculate concentrations were reduced very
significantly from a range of 3 210 to
5 440 mg/Sm3 at the SDI to  3 to 8 mg/Sm3 at
the FFO. This corresponds to a paniculate
removal efficiency that exceeds 99.7%. This
is consistent with the good performance
expected for the fabric filter dust collector
(i.e., emissions below 10 mg/Sm3).

Trace metals were also significantly
removed by the APC system, typically from
thousands (ug/Sm3) to less than 90 u,g/Sm3.
Several metals (e.g., arsenic, antimony,
cadmium, and zinc) showed non-detectable
concentrations at the FFO. Accordingly,
removal of all condensed trace metal was
very high, except for nickel in run PT8
(84%). There is no obvious explanation for
the lower removal efficiency of nickel for
PT8. The removal of mercury exceeded 96%
during all tests.

Due to the high removal efficiencies for
paniculate and metals, it is difficult to
determine whether any differences in
emissions or removal efficiency were due to
process operating conditions or limitations in
sampling/analytical precision.  The removal
of mercury was investigated further, as
discussed in Subsection 6.4.

6.4   Multiple Regression Analysis -
      Air Pollution Control System

The statistical analysis techniques described
in Subsections 4.7 and 5.10 for the
combustion system were also applied to the
APC system. In particular, the process
operating variables for the APC system that
may affect acid gas removal (HC1 and SCh)
and mercury removal are discussed in this
section. The removal of other pollutants was
also examined for relevant correlations, but
no statistically significant relationships were
found.

6.4.1   Air Pollution Control Operating
       Variables for Regression Analysis
One objective of the program was to
determine the impact of APC system
operating parameters on removal of acid gas
and mercury.
The two process parameters generally
having the greatest impact for acid gas
control by lime spray dryer/fabric filters
systems are the approach to adiabatic
saturation temperature of the flue gas and the
stoichiometric ratio of available alkali to
acid gases.

In spray dryer systems, the adiabatic
approach to saturation temperature provides
an indication of the length of time wetted
alkali remains reactive and is a function of
the flue gas temperature and moisture
content. As the flue gas temperature
approaches the adiabatic saturation
temperature, the reactivity of the sorbent
decreases. Because of problems with
directly monitoring adiabatic saturation
temperature, the flue gas temperature at the
SD or FF outlet is typically used for process
control.

-------
                                          75
The stoichiometric alkali-to-acid gas ratio is
a function of the total content of reactive
alkali in added sorbent, fly ash, slaking, and
slurry dilution water and the concentration of
individual acid gases in the flue gas.

Due to limitations in determining the total
alkali input to the spray dryer, calculation of
stoichiometric sorbent feed rates was based
on the alkalinity in the lime slurry alone. To
help interpret SD/FF performance, two
different stoichiometric ratio formulas were
used. The first formula, referred to as  the
overall stoichiometric ratio (OSR), is the
commonly used format for comparing  moles
of alkali to moles of acid gases:
OSR =
            mol/hofCa(OH)2
mol/h
                          of HC1)
The second formula, referred to as the
reduced stoichiometric ratio (RSR),
recognizes that HC1 is more reactive than
SOa, and that the amount of alkali available
for reaction with SCh is a function of the
amount of alkali remaining after reaction
with HC1. Assuming 100% reaction of HC1
with the alkali, RSR is defined as:
RSR =
6.4.2
mol/h of Ca(OH)2 - '/2(mol/h of HC1)
          mol/h of SO2

Correlations for Removal of Sulphur
Dioxide
In Figure 28, the 862 removal efficiency of
the APC system is shown as a function of
the Overall Stoichiometric Ratio (OSR).
Although it is not shown here, a similar
relationship was obtained for SO2 removal
versus Reduced Stoichiometric  Ratio (RSR).
There is a relevant dependence of SO2
removal by the APC system on
stoichiometric ratio.

The SO2 removal is plotted versus OSR for
the three flue gas temperatures in Figure 28.
The scatter of the points is such that the
effect of flue gas temperature on SO2
removal appears to be very weak for any
selected SR value. However, multivariate
analysis, as discussed next, does indicate that
flue gas temperature has some effect on SO2
removal by the APC system.

Based on multivariate analysis, a strong
relationship (R2 = 0.90) was found to predict
SO2 removal by the APC system versus
overall SR and flue gas temperature at FFO.
The statistical relationship is expressed as
follows:

ln(100 - overall % SO2 Removal) =
-1.3986 (OSR) + 0.0177 (FFO Temperature) + 0.6087

The performance of this prediction model
using OSR and FFO temperature is
illustrated in Figure 29, where the calculated
values of SO2 removal are plotted against the
measured values of SO2 removal.

Correlations of SO2 removal across the spray
dryer versus RSR and SO2 removal across the
fabric filter versus RSR were also completed
and show a strong relationship between percent
removal and RSR, as expected.

To examine the effect on SO2 removal of
HC1 in the flue gas, SO2 removal by the
spray dryer versus HC1 at SDI was plotted in
Figure 30. This figure suggests that HC1
levels may influence the SOz removal
efficiency across the SD. Since HC1 is more
reactive with lime than is SO2, the sorbent
available for reaction with SO2 depends on
the HC1 concentration for a given SR.
Therefore, at higher HC1 concentrations for a
given SR, SO2 removal will be lower. A
similar relationship was found for SO2
removal across the fabric filter versus HC1 at
SDO.

           Dryer Inlet
Various other statistical relationships
developed from multivariate analyses for
SCh removal are discussed in Volume II of
the report series (Environment Canada,
1991).

6.4.3   Correlations for Removal of
       Hydrogen Chloride
The HCI removal efficiency of the APC
system is shown in Figure 31 as a function
of the Overall Stoichoimetric Ratio (OSR).
The effect of SR on HCI removal appears to
be rather small for the range tested.  Flue gas
temperature appears to affect HCI removal,
as can be seen from lower HCI removal for
the PT runs at 168ฐC  versus 140ฐC or 124ฐC
(i.e. points 0 versus points D or +). These
relationships were further investigated by a
multivariate analysis.
Based on multivariate analysis, a good
relationship (R2 = 0.82) was found for HCI
removal by the APC system using the two
variables of RSR and flue gas temperature at
the spray dryer outlet. The statistical
relationship is expressed as follows:

ln(100 - Overall % HCI Removal) =
-0.270 (RSR) + 0.0186 (SDO Temp.) -3.4111

This relationship is illustrated in Figure 32.
Other statistical relationships for percentage
of HCI removal are discussed in Volume II
of the report series (Environment Canada,
1991).

if any, effect on the removal of PCDD/PCDF
by the APC system for the range tested.
Based on statistical analyses, HC1 at FFO,
FF pressure drop and SDO temperature
appeared to decrease PCDD removal slightly
(R2 = 0.71), when any of these parameters
increased in value.

6.4.5  Correlations for Removal of Mercury
The removal of mercury by APC systems for
municipal waste combustors has become an
important issue to the industry. Some
facilities have reported good mercury
removal, whereas others have measured poor
mercury removal. Accordingly, the PT data
were analyzed statistically to identify
parameters that may be relevant for good
removal of mercury.

The operating parameters selected for
analyses for mercury removal efficiency of
the APC system were flue gas temperature,
stoichiometric ratio, fabric filter pressure
drop, and percentage of carbon in fabric
filter ash (based on percentage in LOI).

Overall stoichiometric ratio versus mercury
removal efficiency across the SD/FF system
are shown in Figure 33. The figure indicates
that mercury removal decreased as OSR
increased. This phenomenon suggests that
chlorine may be stripped from HgCb formed
in the flue gas at higher stoichiometric ratios.
As a result, volatile ionic Hg2+ may be
liberated, resulting in increased mercury
emissions.  Because acid gas removal
increases with increasing stoichiometric
ratio, a tradeoff may exist between acid gas
and mercury control levels.

The relationship between FF outlet
temperature and mercury removal is shown
in Figure 34. As shown in the figure,
mercury removal decreased with increasing
FF outlet temperature. It can be inferred that
mercury condensation/adsorption decreased
at higher flue gas temperatures and, as a
result, less mercury was captured with the
paniculate matter.

Because there was little variation in the FF
pressure drop and mercury removal was
consistently high (more than 96%), no
significant correlation was observed between
these two parameters. No correlation was
found with percentage of carbon in the FF
ash (loss-on-ignition).

Section 7
Ash Characterization Results
7.1  Overview

The four separate ash streams, namely
bottom ash (BA), grate siftings (GS),
economizer (EC) ash, and fabric filter (FF)
ash, that were sampled during the 13
performance tests were further tested as part
of an ash characterization program.  It
should be noted that the ash products
generated by the facility are combined and
are currently disposed in a monofill, but no
sampling or analysis was done on this
combined product.

This section provides highlights of major
findings of the ash characterization program
and discusses implications for facility
operation, ash management, and
recommendations for further study.  The ash
test program was conducted in three parts.

1. Analyses for trace organics and trace
   metals were conducted on ash samples
   from all 13 performance tests. Detailed
   results are included in Volume II
   (Environment Canada, 1991).

2. Chemical analyses of ash leachates generated
   using four different leaching/extraction
   tests were performed on samples from 5 of
    13 performance tests.  A complete
   discussion of these analyses is included in
   Volume V, Book #1 (Environment
   Canada, 1991).

3. Chemical analyses and engineering tests
   were performed on solidified mixtures of
   fabric filter ash, waste pozzolanic
   material, and Portland Type II cement.
   Solidification is one popular method for
   ultimate disposal and use of ash from
   these facilities. A complete discussion
   of the results of the analyses and tests is
   given in Volume V, Book #2,
   (Environment Canada, 1991).

7.2   Chemical Composition Analyses

Trace organic concentrations in the ash
streams for each performance test condition
are presented in Section 5 and in Appendices
A and B. The data are summarized in
Table 27. Generally, there is a progressively
significant increase in concentrations of all
trace organics, except PAH, through the
system, (i.e., highest for fabric filter ash and
lowest for incinerator ash).

The range of distribution of most trace
metals appears to be a function of thermal
properties of the elements.  Typically, for
example, higher concentrations of relatively
volatile trace metals, such as arsenic,
cadmium, mercury, and zinc, were measured
in the fabric filter ash than in the bottom
ash/grate siftings.  However, relatively
heat-stable elements, such as chromium,
copper, and nickel, were generally measured
in higher concentrations in the bottom
ash/grate siftings.  For lead, the highest
concentrations were measured in the grate
siftings.  A fair correlation (R2 > 0.5) was
observed between concentrations in the
bottom ash and grate siftings and
concentrations in the refuse. Complete data
are provided in Volumes II and V
(Environment Canada, 1991).

of the effect of operating conditions on metal
distribution.

7.3  Acid Neutralization Capacity

The acid neutralization capacity (ANC) of a
material is a measure of that material's
capacity to resist changes in pH, which is a
relevant factor with regard to leachability of
trace metals.  The average ANCs of the
bottom ash, grate siftings, economizer ash,
and fabric filter ash are shown in Figure 35.
As shown in the figure, the fabric filter ash
has higher buffering capacities than either
the economizer ash or the bottom/grate
siftings ash, which have very similar ANCs.
The higher ANC values for the fabric filter
ash are due to lime slurry being added to the
flue gas stream in the spray dryer.  The high
ANC values mean that, in order to reduce
the pH of fabric filter ash from its initial
highly alkaline pH to a pH of 7.0, 1 g of the
ash would have to come in contact with
approximately 94 L of acidic precipitation.
It is estimated that it would take about
70 years for the pH of a 1-cm layer of fabric
filter ash to drop to a pH of 7.0. This
calculation is based on: an average
precipitation pH of 4.5; an assumed average
annual rainfall of 1000 mm/yr; an assumed
compacted density for fabric filter ash of
0.75 g/cm3 (Sawell etal., 1989); and an
assumed 100% infiltration rate of
precipitation, which would be less in
practice.

7.4   Leachability

Ash samples were subjected to the
Sequential Batch Extraction Procedure
(SBEP) to determine the potential organic
and inorganic contaminant mobility in water
over a wide range of liquid-to-solid ratios
(20:1 to 100:1). Detailed information on the
SBEP is contained in Volume V
(Environment Canada, 1991).

7.4.1  Organic Contaminants
The maximum concentrations of organic
contaminants in the composite leachates
from the five cycles of the SBEP are
presented in Table 28. Based on these
results, the trace organic contaminants
measured in the ashes are considered to be
immobile in water.

No PCB or CB was detected in any of the
leachates from the SBEP. Very low
concentrations (less than 0.3 ppb) of CP and
PAH were detected in the leachates from all
three types of ash. No PCDD or PCDF was
detected in the leachates using standard
analytical techniques; however, extremely
low concentrations (less than 0.4 ppt) were
detected in most of the leachates analyzed
using high resolution GC/MS. The detected
organic compounds are not considered
soluble and were probably strongly bound to
sub-micron sized particles which were not
removed during sample filtration.

7.4.2   Inorganic Contaminants
The solubility of the ashes in water was
determined by the Sequential Batch
Extraction Procedure. As shown in
Figure 36, the results indicate that the
bottom ash/grate siftings and economizer ash
were much less soluble in distilled water
(about 7% of the solid dissolved) than the
fabric filter ash (about 34%  dissolved). The
                                     higher solubility of the fabric filter ash is due
                                     to the lime and soluble flue gas
                                     condensation/reaction products that sorb
                                     onto the fly ash particles in the air pollution
                                     control system.  A significant portion of the
                                     dissolved material from the fabric filter ash
                                     consisted of sulphate and chloride (almost
                                     14% sulphate and 27% chloride).

                                     Metal solubility in distilled water was
                                     limited. No antimony, cadmium, cobalt,
                                     manganese, nickel, or selenium were
                                     detected in any  of the leachates.  Of those
                                     metals that were detected, most represented
                                     small fractions (less than 10%) of the
                                     concentrations present in the ashes. Up to
                                     60% of the very low concentrations of
                                     mercury present in the ashes was soluble
                                     during the SBEP. The limited solubility of
                                     the metals was due to the moderately
                                     alkaline pH of the leachates generated from
                                     the ashes. The different operating conditions
                                     did not appear to have any effect on metal
                                     leachability.

The teachability of metals from the ashes
was also determined using the Sequential
Chemical Extraction (SCE) Procedure,
which is a step-wise separation of the total
concentration of each metal into five distinct
fractions using increasingly more aggressive
leaching media to digest the solid material.
The descriptions and interpretations related
to each of the five  fractions are summarized
in Table 29.

Although the potential fraction of a metal
measured in Fraction A is considered to be
available for leaching upon contact with
water, it is not indicative of the fraction that
would be considered available for leaching
under ash monofill disposal conditions over
a prolonged period of time. The total
potential fraction of a metal available for
leaching under acidic conditions which may
prevail in a municipal co-disposal landfill, is
assumed to be represented by the sum of
Fractions A and B. It must be emphasized
that the results from this test are only
potential fractions  and that these cannot be
construed as field leachate concentrations
that may occur under the conditions
                    suggested (Table 29) and that the
                    interpretations are assumed to be
                    generalities.

                    Results from the SCE procedure indicate that
                    none or only a very small fraction of the
                    metals present in the ashes are considered
                    available for leaching upon initial contact
                    with water.  Larger fractions of the metals
                    are considered available for leaching under
                    acidic conditions, especially in the fabric
                    filter ash.

                    The  SCE results indicate substantial
                    differences in species profiles between the
                    three types of ash.  Slightly larger
                    proportions of barium, copper, lead,
                    manganese, and nickel were measured in
                    Fractions A and B of the economizer ash
                    than in Fractions A and B  of the bottom
                    ash/grate siftings ash. In turn, larger
                    proportions of barium, cadmium, chromium,
                    manganese, and zinc were measured in
                    Fractions A and B of the fabric filter ash
                    than in Fractions A and B  of the economizer
                    ash.

In the five test runs examined, there were no
apparent differences in the species profiles
for most metals in each ash type, with the
notable exception of lead.  The lead species
profiles for bottom ash/grate siftings and
fabric filter ash were considerably different
from the "good" and "poor" incinerator
operating condition runs.

The species profiles for the two types of ash
from the five test runs are given in
Figure 37.  Over 20% of the lead in the
bottom ash/grate siftings ash from PT5 and
PT7 (poor operating conditions) were
measured in Fractions A and B, whereas
(with the exception of PT10) less than 9.3%
of the lead in the bottom ash/grate siftings
ash from the good operating condition runs
was measured in these fractions.
Conversely, larger proportions of lead were
measured in Fractions A and B of the fabric
filter ash samples from PT8, PT9, or PT10
(good operating condition runs) than in those
from the "poor" condition runs. These
results indicate that the better operating
conditions volatilized a greater proportion of
the "heat reactive" lead from the waste
which ultimately condensed out as
potentially soluble lead compounds on the
fabric filter ash particles.

The results from the Leach Procedure and
the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure, Ontario Regulation 309
(Government of Ontario, 1990) indicate that
if the ashes from this facility were subject to
Ontario's regulatory requirements, which
they are not, some of the bottom ash/grate
siftings samples (PT7 and PT8) and all of the
fabric filter ash samples from this facility

due to the leachable lead in bottom ash/grate
siftings and cadmium in the fabric filter
ashes.

7.5   Evaluation of Solidified Fabric
      Filter Ash

Solidification of ash is of significant interest
as a technique for ultimate disposal and use
of ash from municipal waste combustion
facilities. The long-term environmental
suitability of solidified mixtures of fabric
filter ash, Portland Cement Type n, and one
of three types of waste pozzolanic material
was characterized using chemical, leaching,
and standard cement engineering tests.
Optimal formulations were selected based on
the criterion that minimum quantities of
solidifying agents be used, while still
maintaining a sufficient physical strength.

The physical properties of the solidified
specimens were tested after 56 days of
curing time using the following tests:
moisture content;  bulk density; solids
specific gravity; hydraulic  conductivity;
unconfined compressive strength; and
freeze/thaw weathering tests.  The results
indicate that the solidified formulations
produced specimens that: (1) have a low
volume change factor of about 1.0;
(2) possess low hydraulic conductivities;
(3) have sufficient unconfined compressive
strength (greater than 345 kPa) for landfill
disposal; and (4) are very durable.

The fabric filter ash and crushed samples of
the three formulations were subjected to the
Sequential Batch Extracting Procedure. The
results indicate that solidification reduces the
total solubility of the fabric filter ash beyond
what would normally be expected due to
dilution with the solidification agents. Much
of this reduction is due to the transformation
of readily soluble sulphate compounds to
insoluble gypsum.

For most metals, the fraction solubilized by
SBEP represented less than 1.0% of the total
concentration of each metal present in the
solidified ash. This was much less than for
the untreated fabric filter ash.  Conversely,
the solubility of aluminum and mercury in
the solidified material was equal to or higher
than in the untreated fabric filter ash and is
probably due to the chloride or hydroxide
forms of these metals which are soluble
under highly alkaline conditions.

The leachates from the SBEP were subjected
to two different types of biological toxicity
tests, both of which are given in detail in
Volume V (Environment Canada, 1991).
Results indicated that solidification reduced
the lethal toxicity of the fabric filter ash
leachates. However, two of the
solidification treatment leachates
(i.e., cement kiln dust and coal fly ash)
exhibited a genotoxic response.  The
appearance of a genotoxic response has not
been explained.

Crushed samples of the three formulations
were also subjected to the Government of
Ontario Regulation 309 Leach Procedure
and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching
Procedure [TCLP], (Government of Ontario,
1990). The results indicate that
concentrations of all metals in the solidified
ash leachates from both tests were well
below the Ontario guideline limits whereas
concentrations of cadmium in the untreated
fabric filter ash leachates exceeded the
Ontario guideline limit by a factor of 6.
Therefore, the untreated fabric filter ash
from this facility would be classified as
"hazardous", whereas the treated ashes
would be considered non-hazardous.

Conclusions

8.1   Overview                               2.

Those significant findings and conclusions
from the Mid-Connecticut test program that
are likely to be of interest to the general
public and researchers are presented in this
section.

Readers should be aware that the combustion
and air pollution control systems at the
facility were deliberately operated over a
wide range of conditions as part of the test
program. It would not be appropriate,
therefore, to "average the data" from many
of the test runs when making judgments on
normal operating conditions at this facility.
Because of the time lag in collecting fabric
filter ash, the elemental metal input/output or
mass balance data are particularly difficult to
reconcile. Nevertheless, general statements
based on trends or ranges can be made when
certain test data are carefully and
scientifically grouped together. Also, it           5.
should be noted that the ash samples
analyzed during this test program were taken
from the location where the ash was
generated.  No testing of the combined ash
product was conducted. This facility
normally combines its ash for disposal.           6.

8.2   General

1.  Very low concentrations of trace organics,
   heavy metals, and acid gases in stack
   emissions were observed under all tested
   operating conditions. As an example,
   total PCDD/PCDF emissions were
    1.5 ng/Sm3 or less in all tests.
High removal efficiencies were attained
for trace organics in the flue gas during
all measurements between the spray
dryer inlet and fabric filter outlet. As an
example, PCDD and PCDF removal
efficiencies exceeded 99% for all tests.

Removal efficiencies for all metals in the
flue gas, except mercury, typically
exceeded 98%. For mercury, the
removal efficiencies ranged from 96 to
99%.

Refuse-derived fuel spreader stoker
combustors can be operated with low CO
concentrations under steady state
conditions (i.e., excluding startup and
shutdown). Average CO concentrations
below 100 ppm were attained in a
number of the completed 5- to 6-hour
tests.

Emissions of THC below 7 ppm were
achieved under "good combustion
conditions". Combustion conditions that
produced low CO emissions also
produced low THC emissions.

Input/output (mass  balance) comparisons
of trace organic compounds in the RDF
feed (input) with those in the ash and
stack emissions (output) suggest that
overall, combustion of RDF resulted in:
a net reduction in PCDD, PAH, CP, CB,
PCB; a net increase in PCDF; but a net
decrease in total PCDD/PCDF.

The estimated average net destruction
efficiencies for these trace organic
compounds were 96% for good

-------
                                          89
   combustion conditions and 90% for poor
   combustion conditions.

7. No consistent evidence was obtained to
   substantiate PCDD/PCDF formation in
   the flue gas temperature range of 400 to
   150ฐC (750 to 300ฐF) (measured across
   the airheater).  This was contrary to what
   was expected for this temperature range.

8. As anticipated, flue gas temperature at the
   spray dryer outlet and (estimated)
   calcium hydroxide to acid gas ratio were
   found to be the most important operating
   parameters for controlling HC1 and SO2
   emissions.

8.3   Ash Results

1. The average loss-on-ignition (LOT) in
   bottom ash/grate siftings (0.7 to 1.5%)
   was lower than that measured in bottom
   ash from waterwall mass burning
   systems (1.5 to 5.0%) and much lower
   than in bottom ash from two-stage
   combustion systems (12 to 30%).

2. Concentrations of PCDD/PCDF in the
   bottom ash and grate siftings were at or
   below the detection limit.

3. No PCB was detected in any of the ashes.

4. Trace organic contaminants were measured
   in the fabric filter ash. For example, over
   99% of the total PCDD/PCDF associated
   with the residues was measured in  the
   fabric filter ash.

5. Concentrations of PCDD/PCDF in fabric
   filter ash ranged from 70 to 509 ng/g.
   Although the statistical correlation was
   not significant, these data suggest that
   good combustion  conditions tend to
   result in comparatively low
   PCDD/PCDF concentrations in the fabric
   filter ash.

6.  Organic contaminants in the ashes,
   including PCDD, PCDF, CB, and PAH,
   were not soluble in water.

7.  Typically, concentrations of less volatile
   metals (e.g., chromium, nickel, copper)
   were higher in the combined bottom
   ash/grate siftings, whereas
   concentrations of relatively volatile
   metals (e.g., cadmium, mercury, zinc)
   were higher in the fabric filter ash. Lead
   concentrations were relatively high in
   both grate siftings and fabric filter ash,
   and relatively low in the bottom and
   economizer ash.

8.  Fabric filter ash was more soluble in water
   (approximately 34% solubilized) than
   either the combined bottom ash/grate
   siftings or economizer ash
   (approximately 7% solubilized). A
   substantial portion of the solubilized
   material from the fabric filter ash
   consisted of sulphate and chloride anions
   (14% sulphate and 27% chloride).

9.  Only very small amounts (typically less
   than 10%) of most trace metals present
   in the ashes were soluble in water.

10. In general, under simulated acidic
   conditions, larger fractions of cadmium,
   chromium, lead, manganese, and zinc,
   were potentially available for leaching
   from the fabric filter ash than from the
   bottom and grate siftings ash.  Under
   most controlled disposal conditions,
   however, an acidic leaching environment
   is unlikely given the high acid
   neutralization capacity of the fabric filter
   ash.

                                          90
11. Fabric filter ash was solidified using
   cement and three types of waste
   pozzolanic materials. Engineering test
   results indicate that these solidified
   materials were physically strong,
   durable, and relatively impermeable.  In
   addition, results from different leach
   tests indicate that metal mobility was
   significantly reduced through both
   physical encapsulation and chemical
   fixation.

8.4   Correlations

Single-value regression analysis, comparing
all test parameters with one another, was
conducted to investigate possible
correlations. In addition, multiple regression
analysis of selected test data was conducted
for two main purposes.

a) The first purpose was to investigate the
   feasibility of using easily monitored
   variables, either individually or in
   clusters, as surrogate measures of
   difficult-to-monitor variables.  This was
   done by choosing a difficult-to-monitor
   chemical, such as PCDD, as the
   dependent variable, and easily monitored
   variables, such as SOz and CO, as
   independent variables in the multiple
   regression equation.

b) The second purpose was to explore the
   individual and collective influence of
   various operation controls on the
   emissions of certain compounds.  This
   was done by choosing an emitted
   chemical as the dependent  variable and
   selecting operating conditions as
   independent variables in the multiple
   regression equation.

The following are the key results of the
regression analysis.
1.  Moderate correlations were observed for
   CO and THC as compared to
   PCDD/PCDF at spray dryer inlet over
   the entire data set (R2 = 0.7 and 0.68,
   respectively). An excellent correlation
   (R2 = 0.95) was observed for CO as
   compared to PCDD/PCDF when
   considering only those tests in which
   CO emissions were over 200 ppm. No
   correlation was observed when
   considering only those tests in which CO
   emission concentrations were less than
   200 ppm. Similarly, tests with THC
   emissions above  7 ppm correlated
   excellently  with PCDD/PCDF
   (R2 = 0.97), but no correlation was found
   between PCDD/PCDF and THC
   emissions when THC concentrations are
   less than 7 ppm.

2.  When comparing various measures of CO
   emissions with PCDD/PCDF emissions,
   the arithmetic average of CO emissions
   over the testing period provides the best
   correlation  with PCDD/PCDF
   concentrations at the spray dryer inlet.
   However, the correlation was poor when
   considering only those tests in which CO
   averaged below 200 ppm for the test
   period. Other comparisons of
   PCDD/PCDF concentrations with the
   number or magnitude of CO spikes and
   the percent of time above an absolute CO
   level produced less significant
   correlations.

3.  Multiple regression analyses show that the
   best easily monitored variable for
   correlating  concentrations of PCDD,
   PCDF, CP, CB, and PAH at the spray
   dryer inlet typically include any two or
   more of the following: CO, THC, NOX,
   HC1, HiO in flue gas, and temperature in
   furnace or at economizer outlet.

-------
                                           91
   For example, the best correlation for PCDD
   concentrations (R2 = 0.9) at the spray
   dryer inlet is based on CO, NOX, and
   H2O concentrations in the flue gas.

4. Multiple regressions based on combustor
   operating variables that best explained
   the variation in concentrations of PCDD,
   PCDF, CP, CB, and PAH at the spray
   dryer inlet, use a combination of
   operating variables.  These operating
   variables are also good indicators of
   conditions within the furnace and relate
   to fundamental combustion conditions
   (time, temperature, air/fuel ratio, and
   mixing).

5. Multiple regression analyses based on
   easily-monitored variables ("good" to
   "excellent" range, R2 = 0.8 to 0.98,
   respectively) were more conclusive than
   those based on combustor operating
   variables ("fair" to "good" range, R2 =
   0.6 to 0.8, respectively).

6. A fair correlation (R2 = 0.61) was obtained
   between PCDD/PCDF and paniculate
   matter concentrations at  the spray dryer
   inlet under good combustion conditions.
7. Poor correlations of uncontrolled
   PCDD/PCDF concentrations were
   observed under all combustion
   conditions for the following parameters:
   loss-on-ignition (LOI) in economizer
   ash; hydrogen chloride at the spray dryer
   inlet; and copper concentrations in fly
   ash.

8. The removal of trace organic compounds
   by the flue gas cleaning system
   correlated best with increased
   sorbent-to-acid-gas ratio (stoichiometric
   ratio) and decreasing spray dryer outlet
   temperature. These same variables were
   also seen to correlate with the degree of
   acid gas control.

9. Multiple regression analyses showed a
   very good correlation (R2 = 0.89)
   between mercury removal by the flue gas
   cleaning system and decreasing flue gas
   temperature (spray dryer outlet) and
   increasing LOI of the fabric filter ash.
   Increases in stoichiometric ratio
   appeared to  cause increased mercury
   emissions.

Section 9
Recommendations
1.  The effect of the quantity and quality of
   refuse on emissions and residues should
   be better assessed and quantified.

2.  Research is required to identify which
   metals are the major contributors to the
   wastestream and to document the effect
   of source separation, recycling, and
   front-end processing of waste before
   combustion on the ultimate quality of the
   different emissions and ash streams.

3.  Research should be conducted on
   speciation of metals before (refuse feed)
   and after the combustion process (ash) to
   determine the impact of feed materials
   on ash quality and to determine an
   effective removal process for volatile
   species in flue gas.

4.  The results of this study on municipal solid
   waste demonstrate that incineration is
   effective in destroying trace organic
   compounds (more than 96% under good
   combustion conditions, more than 90%
   under poor combustion conditions).  The
   results also demonstrate that the air
   pollution control system is highly
   efficient in removing the organics  in flue
   gases (more than 99%). These findings
   indicate that incineration may be an
   effective disposal option for trace
   organic compounds commonly found in
   household hazardous waste.  Future
   research should be directed to examining
   the amounts and characteristics of
   household hazardous waste in the
   wastestream and the impacts on
   incinerator air emissions and ash residue.

5.  A reliable method to determine the carbon
   content in fly ash is required for
   assessing incomplete products of
   combustion. This would determine if
   loss-on-ignition (LOI) is a suitable
   method for determining products of
   incomplete combustion.

6.  Definitive stoichiometric ratio data  should
   be obtained for evaluating flue gas
   cleaning system performance at
   municipal waste combustion facilities.
   Stoichiometric ratio is recognized to be
   an important parameter in controlling
   acid gases and possibly trace organics.

7.  The impact of high sorbent stoichiometric
   ratio (more than 2) in spray dryer
   absorber fabric filter systems should be
   investigated to determine its effect on
   fabric filter ash solubility and capture of
   mercury.

8.  The potential for artifact formation  of
   PCDD/PCDF in the U.S. EPA Modified
   Method 5 sampling train at high
   temperatures [more than 200ฐC (400ฐF)]
   should be further investigated. This
   investigation may explain the decrease of
   PCDD/PCDF concentrations measured
   between the air preheater inlet and spray
   dryer inlet.

9.  Research should be undertaken on the
   characteristics of particles in the flue gas

-------
                                        93
entering the air pollution control system,       10. A thorough environmental
including studies of particle size                 characterization, such as performed in
distribution, metals speciation, and               this study, should be completed on waste
organic content.                                 recycling technologies.
