l.C iNTRODUCTION AND SUMMAR ’
1.1 Background
The control of hazardous waste (11W) continues to be of major
concern to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In
response to Con essional legislation (Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) of 1976, P.L. 94—580, as amended) ErA is
developing a comprehensive control progra i to ensure proper haadling
of waste trom its generation to ultimate disposal.
A major component of this prozram addresses the incineration of
haza,dous wastes. Incineration is con ,idered “a proven method of
destroying organic waste without posing a threat to the environment”
(U.S. EPA, 1980a). Considering the amount of such waste which
requires disposal, the amount of hazardous wastes incinerated may
increase by an order of magnitude or more.
Regulations governing hazardous waste incIneration were
proposed on j ecember 18, 1.978 specify performance and operating
standards. After public comment, these regulations were mcdif led on
January 23, 1981, to include only performance standards. The
performance standards govern the emissions of hazardous waste
constit’tents, riydrogen chloride, and particulate matter from
incinerators.
While developing the regulations, the EPA identified a need for
a technical data base correlating specific incinerator operating and
design features with the ability to ;tisfactorily destroy hazardous
1
-------
wastes. The I’ cineration Research Branch (IRB) of EPA’s Industrial
Environ cnta1 Research Laboratory in Cincinnati has a large multi-
faceted program unJerway to develop such a data base. The
objecti’ies of this data base were enwnerated as follows (U.S.
EPA, l980b):
“(1) to support the current RCRA 3004 incLieration regulations;
(2) to provide direct technical support to regional permit
and compliance programs;
(3) to expand and rcfine the state of best engineering
judgement regarding hazardous waste incineration; and,
(4) to form the sound technical basis for development and
promulgation of detailed design, performance and
operating standards for hazardous waste incinerators in
future revised regulatious.”
The MITRE Corporation is under contract to IRB to assist in the
development of this hazardous waste incineration data base.
Prev!.ous tasks on this contract included a user needs study (Barrett
et al., 1981) and an analysis of existing data management systems
(Xeitz and Dr tch, 1982). As a resu t of these studies, a
recommendation wac made to IRB to conc€ nt-ate devaloprnent efforts on
modification and expansion of EPA’s existing Hazardous 1aste Data
1Ianagerne t System (HWD!IS). This expanded portion of the data h ise
is called the Hazardous Waste Control Technology Data Base (HWCTDB).
1.2 Current Effort
A major part of this effort centered on the coliection of
vaLious types of hazardous waste incineration data in support of the
IRB objectives. Two of the types of data collected were:
2
-------
• Design features, operating characteristics, and number in
service estimates for h izardous waste ‘nciner itors based on
contact with manufacturers of incinerators.
c Design information, operating coudition , and c etai1ed waste
characterization for operational. hazardous waste incinera-
tors based on information provided by 11W facility spokesmen.
This report presents the results of both of the data collection
efforts. Section 2.0 discusses data collection from manufacturers
of incinerators and related equipment. The collected data were used
to generate a profilc of the domestic hazaedous waste incinerator
manufacturing industry. Section 3.0 d .scusses data collection from
facilities known or thought to be possible operators of one or more
hazardous waste incinerators, presents tabulations of the data
collected, and diFcusses the findicigs. Both the manufacturers data
and the operational data were collected in part for entry into the
HWCTDB.
1.3 Summ y of Principal Find .ngs
Incinerator manufacturers’ information was obtained from
interviews and sales literature provided by the 57 domestic
companies identif led as 11W incinerator m inufacturers. Information
on existing 2 acillties was obtained from 514 oi 566 fa ilities
listed in IIWDMS as 11W Incinerators on 30 November 1981 plus 23
facilities identified outside the }IWDMS data base. The summary
findirgs presented below are base . on the infc’rmaticn provided by
these 57 manufacturers and 537 facilIties.
3
-------
Table 1 presents a coeparison of the number of 11W incinerators
as reported by both manufacturers and representatives of existing 11W
[ acilities. A total of 284 operatiornU 11W incinerators were
verified at 219 facilities. A review of the HWDMS and other sources
at the end o this study produced a list of 128 potential
ncinerat on facilities wh h had not been contacted. These
included new additions to HWDHS, and facilities which could not be
contacted during the study. If a projection of the facility
population figures is made to account for these 128 potential
facilities, the total operational 11W incinerator population would be
approximately 350 units at 270 feciliti . s. This figure agrees very
welJ. with the 335 operationaL units reported by manufacturers. In
contrast, existing facilities reported 32 units under construction
which is much higher than the 7 reported by manufacturers.
Table 2 presents a comparison of the types of operational I- lW
incinerators reported by manufacturers and 11W facilities. The
manufar tur2r’s data and the projected total existing populations
agree extremely wel 1 for the liquid injection and hearth type
incinerators. However, the rotary kiln population reported by
manufacturers is more than double the number reported by facilities.
Of the 264 operational incinerators whose type was specified,
208 (79 percent) are capable of burning liquids by injection.
Twenty—nine units (11 percent) are capable of burning bulk wdstes
(solids or liquids). The remaining units are mostly special purpose

Additional findings based on analyses of the existing facil-
ities data include*:
• Design capacities were reported for 180 incinerar:ora bux.ning
liquids and 44 incinerators burning solids. The median
design capacity of incinerators burning liquids is 150
gallons per hour with most units (86 percent) not exceeding
1000 gallons per hour. Incinerators bur.iing solids tend to
have am ller capacities with the uedian being approximately
6 3 pounds per hour (equivalent to 78 gallons of water).
• Of the 219 facilities reporting, 71 (32 percent) reported
operating continiously 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The majority of all incinerators (62 percent) reported
intermittent operations either on a fixed schedule or an
needed” basis. The remaining 13 ucits (6 percent) were on
stsndby or long term shut down but still considered
operational by the facility.
• Combustion temperatures ware reported for 173 incinerators.
Gaseous residence times were rep3rted for 104 incinerators.
The median combusti’rn tenperature for HW incineration is
approximately 1800°F, and median gaseous residence time ic
sli ht1y under 2 seconds. Units operating at higher
tempecatures also tend to have longer residence times.
• Most ci: the wastes reported are liquids, principa 1y spent
non—halogenated solvents and aqueous solutions of corro-
sives, reactives or ignitables. The no t frequently
reported waste was the non—lisLed ignitable whste ith high
heat content (over 6000 Btu per pound). This wasce was
reported for 69 incinerators. The largest single category
of w sste by weight was non—halogerated solvents, accounting
for 233,000 tons per year at 18 incinerators. This is
approximately 23 percent by weight of all wastes reported.
However, approximately 600,000 tons per year (59 percent) of
all wastes reported were aqueous hazardous wastes.
*Since some respondents did not provide data on one or more opica,
the sample size varies from one topic to anuther.
7
-------
• Air pollution control devices (APCD’s) were reported on 45
percent of the incinerators. Somo form of scrubber system
was used on 83 percent of the units with APCD’S. Larger
incinerators are more likely to have control devices than
smaller units.
• Incinerators with high combustion :emperatures and long
gaseous residence times are more likely to have air
pollution control devices than oth’ r u; lts.
• Heat recovery units ere rep rtied on 22 percent of the
incinerators. The u e of heat rei’overy tends to be related
to the continuity of incinerator peration.
• Although the data were not subjected to formal s.etlstical
analysis, there appears to be a crrelation between the
location of HW incinerator facilities and chemical industry
centers. For example, of the 219 facIlities identified, 52
(24 percent) are located In Texas or Louisiana.
• i rIvat ly owned and operated ( “on-site”) facilities
(Including university facilities) account for 80 percent of
the total. The remaining faciliti. s are mostly commercial
facilities or military ammunition cisposal operations.
• 1 ost of the incinerators (104 out of 128 reporting) do not
exceed 10 years in age. Sixty unitt (47 percent) am in the
6 to 10 year age range.
• Due to the structure of the data gathering and verification
procedures, it was not possible to estimate the extent to
which hazardous waste may be incineratei in devices exempt
from the RCRA 11W incinerator regulationr, such as boilers or
process kilns.
The above capsule profile of 11W incineratiot in the Unitel
States tends to substantiate many concepts which heretofore were
mostly assumptions. These include the location, type, and
capacities of 11W incIneratcrs. On the other hand, sowe previously
existing assumptions will require mo 1 hficaton. Among these are the
8
-------
number of facilities, the nature of wastes incinerated, and the
hours of operation.
Many respondents voiced the opinion that the decision to
operate a 11W incinerator was selected only when other choices such
as mat ri 1 recovery, recycling, energy recovery or other disposal
methods weze not cost effective.

2.0 PROFILE OF TILE HAZkRDOUS t ASTE INCINERATOR MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY
This section contains a summary of th2 numbers, types, and
characteristics of hazardous waste incinerati3n systems in use in
the United States, based on informaticn obtained from incinerator
manufacturers.
2.1 Identification of Manufacturers
During February and March 1981, incinerator manufacturers were
contacted in order to determiL e those marketing Ii,izardous waste
units. Four directories were used to provide names, addresses nd
some te1 phone numbers of manufacturers, specifically the:
— 1981 Chemical Engineering Catalog
— February 1981 Buyer’s Cuide, Solid Waste Management Magazine
— 1981 Catalog anc Buyer’s Guide, Pollution Equipm2nt News
— 1980—81 Directory and Resource Book, Air Pollution Control
Association.
Additional manufacturers were identified by the manufacturers listed
in the directories nd by Mr. Lawrence C. Doucet, a consultant to
EPA. The hazardous waste incinerator manufacturers identified
during this survey are listed in Appendix A.
2.2 Summary of InformatIon Prov .ded by Manufacturers
Bazardous waste Incinerator manuf cturers were asked co provide
Information about the ty? s of incincrators manufactured, the
appr’.ixI ate number of units suld bctween 1969 and 1981, and design
and operating informat on. 1969 was selected as a cutoff date based
U
-------
upon several manufacturers’ estimates that 12 years of useful
service may be expected from a hazarc.ous waste incinerator. A
summary of the nuipber of manufacturing companies and the number of
incinerators in service classifed by type is presented in Tab .e 3.
There are four major type9 of hazardous waste incinerator .: hearth,
liquid injection 1 rotary kiln, nd fluidized bed. Hearth incin r—
ators include fixed hearth, multiple chamber hearth, pulse hearth,
rotary hcarth, End reciprocating grate units. Liquid injection
incinerators are most prevalent with 64.0 percent of the market,
hearth incinerators comprise 20.8 percent of the units sold, and
12.3 percent of the incin ratora are rotary kilns. These three
types account for 97 percent of the units manufactured. A classifi—
cation of incinerator manufacturers by the type of unitc they sell
is presented in Table 4 and the number of incinerators sold by each
company and other pertin nt data ate presented in TaL 1e 5.
Of the 57 companies identifiec as uarketi g hazsrious waate
incinerators, 28 have sold no units in the United States.
Apparently many of the companies that have not sold an incinerator
are anticipating a large market growth. Of the 23 compalies
marketing liquid injection incinerators, eight have sold none to
date; eight of the 17 companies offering rotary kiln incinerators
have sold none to date; and five of the nine compan .es offoring
fluidized bed incinerators have sold none to date. All hearth
incinerator manufacturers have sold at 1ea t one unit. Most of the

-------
companies offering innovative incineration technology have not sold
any units to date.
Trane Thermal and John Zink have established strong market
positions in liquid injection incinerators, accounting for sales of
59 percent of those units. C. E. Raymond has sold 38 percent of the
rotary kilna in service. Sales of hearth incinerators are distri-
buted evenly among the manufacturers. Four domestic manufacturers
produce more than one type of incinerator.
The total number of operational HW inciner. turs (342) from this
survey agrees well with the 352 incinerators estimated to be
operational based on contact with RCRA Part A permit applicants
listed in the EPA Hazardous Waste Data Management System (HwD 1s).
Reasons for the small discrepancy include: some of the units sold
since 1969 may no longer be in use or may be used to burn non—
hazardous wastes; and some manufacturers might not have
enou 3 h information to know whether the customer’s wastes are
hazardous.
2.3 Incini’rator Design Information
Incinerator design information was obtained from interview:
with fourteen incintrator manufacturers and sales literature
provided by all 57 companies in order to survey general design
practices. The interviews included six with rotary kiln tianu—
facturers, one with a fluidized bed incinerator manufacturer, and
five with liquid injection incinerator manufacturers. The sales
22
-------
literature obtained from hearth incinerator ‘nanufacturers offers
considerably more design information than the literature of other
manufacturers, primarily because hearth incinerators are generally
sold as standard, preasseinbied units. The following design features
of the four major types of incinerator are discussed in this chapter:
• Combustion chamber design
• Incinerator capacities
• Energy recovery equipment
• Air pollution control eq’;ipment
Designs of European origin are not included in this discussion of
the domestic market. In addition, much of the inforinatjoj was
obtained from a limited number of manufacturers and may not be
rEpresentati”e of all manufacturers, particularly because each
manufacturer produces a unique design.
2.3.1 Combustion Chamber Characteristics
The following combustion chamber characteristics distinguish
the four ma ior types of incinerators. The combustion chamber of
hearth incinerators are non—moving units built with a grate or
hearth in the primary chamber upon which solid wastes arc burned.
Liquid wastes may be injected in the prim. ry or secondary chamber.
Rotary kiln incinerators consist of a rotating cylindrical kiln in
which solid wastes are incinerated and a i afterburner to further
oxidize the combustion gases. Liquid wastes rn y be incinerated in
the kiln or the afterburner. Liquid injection incinerators are
23
-------
flOfltflOVing Units in which liquid wastes are h irned. There are no
provision8 to burn solid waste or to remove ash from the con±istjon
cnamber. Fluidjzed bed incinerators have a bed of sand suspended by
air intro’-luced unier the bed, and a freeboard area above the bed in
the combustion chamber. Liquid and shredded solid wastes are fed to
the bed.
The following combustion chamber features of the four major
types of incinerators are described in this section:
• Physical characteristicb
• Refractory lining
• Waste loading system
• Ash handling system
Combustion chamb ’rs of hearth incinerators may be either
vertically or horizontally ori2nted ani cylindrical or rectangular
in shape. Generally, the smaller units are vertical to occupy less
space. Rectangular units often have primary and secondary chambers
in the same steel shell divided by a refractory wall. Cylindrical
unit often have separate primary and secondary combustion chamb rs,
with i ha secondary unit installed or. top of the primary. Oil or gas
burners area usually purchased by the manufacturers and installed in
the secondary chambers. Burners may be inqtalled in the prinlar)
chamber as an option. Hearth units equipped with a grate introduce
combustion ai both above n 1 below the grate, termed overfire and
underfire air, respective’ y, in order to promote combustion. Those
24
-------
unitc without grate t generally use a hydraulic ram to push the solid
waste along the floor of the hearth in order to ensure complete
burning.
Refractories used in hearth ivcinerators are either castable or
brick. Ci stable refractories are eaaier to install in small incin-
erators than brick. Three to five icehes of low alumina refractory
rated t 19000 to 2300°F ara generally installed in the primary
combuotir, chamber, insulated by at least two inches of firebrick.
Three to fiv. inches of ‘lumina refractory rated at 25000 to
3200°F backed by two to three inches of insulating refractory are
usually installed in the secondary chamber. As many as six differ-
ent types of refrsctories may be used for the construction of a
hearth unit. The combustion chamber shells encasing the refract ’ry
are either carbon steel or stainless 8teel, ranging from 12 gage to
one quarter inch thickness. Combustion chamber heat release rates
range from 15,000 Btu/hr—ft 3 to 25,000 Btu/hr—ft 3 .
Waste loading systems to the hearth combustion chamber are
usually hyd:aulic ram/hopper systems or cart dumping systems. It is
generally not economical, to install loaders on incinerators zith
capacities less than 200 pounds per hour (1.5 million Btu/hr).
Typical , aste loading system capacities range from 400 to 2400
pounds.
Ash removal systems usually employ a hydraulic ram or series of
hydraulic rams to push the ash toward th ’ opposite end of the
25
-------
combustion chamber from the charging door. The ash is conveyed to
or dumped direcLly into a quench tank filled with water. Ash
removal systeml are economical to install on continuously cperating
incinerators with capacities greater than 500 pounds per hour.
Rotary kiln incinerators have at least two combustion chambers,
the rotating or rocking kiln and an afterburner. Rotating kilus are
horizontal and inclined slightly to facilitate ash and slag
removal. The kilns rotate from one to seven revolutions per
minute. Design heat release rates vary from 15,000 Btu/hr—ft 3 to
40,000 Etu/hr—ft 3 . Heat release rates increase s incinerator
I
capac tl.es increase and the lower value of 15,000 Btujhr—ft L.a
for small kilns incinerating wastes with high water content, such as
wet sludger. Length to diameter ratios typically range from one to
riva. The outside diameters of rotary kilns are usually smaller
than 15 feet, allowing them to be ahipped by rail or truck and
effecti ely limiting the heat input to approximately 75 million
Btu/hr. Fuel burners are located in the kilns opposite the charging
location and at the entrance to the afterburner.
Both castable and brick refr .ctories are used in ro ary kilns
and afterburners. Castabie refractories are usually used in small
rotary kilns rated less than 6 million Btu/hr. Several types of
brick refractory are used in a rotary kiln. The majority of a kiln
is lined with two to four inches of insulating firebrick covered by
six to ten inches of low te’iperatu e, highly erosion resistant
26
-------
firebrick. Severe refractory damage often occurs at the lower & nd
of the kiln because of ash and slag fal lin& into the ash pit and
Secause of reflected heat from the afterburner. High temperature,
highly erosion resistant firebrick is required for this applica-
tion. Afterburnerr are most often lined with high temperature
firebrick.
Waste loading systems to rotary kilns are often the most
complex of all hazardous waste incinerator types. Solid, liquid,
and containerized wastes are often fed to a rotary kiln simul—
taneou-. ly and liquid wastes may be injected to the afterburner.
Sand or powerhouse ash may also be. fed to the kiln to form a slag
which pr tects the refractory fru s abrasion as long as the slag
remains moj ten. Containers as large as 55 gallon dr ims may be fed
through loaders equipped with air locks and hydraulic drum dumpers.
Other lo iding systems include hoppers, screw feeders, iydraulic
rams, lances or pipes for int . oducieg sludges, and liquId injection
nozzles and bur&iers.
Some type of ash collection system is installed on rotary kilas
necause they are designed to incinerate wastes with hi.gh jolids
content. The ash systems include vet or dry bins, hoppers, and
conveying systems.
Liquid injection L cinerator8 are almo3t exclusively single
chamber units that are either vertical or hori. ontal. Vertical
units may be either upfired, so that the combustion gases exit at
27
-------
the top of thc combustion chamber, or downfired. Hany downfired
units are equipped with a wet quench at the combustion chamber exit
at the bottom of the unit, particularly for the incineration of
wastes with high salt content. Typical heat release rates in the
combustion chamhc of liquid injection incinerators are approx-
imately 25,000 Btu/hr—1t 3 , and heat release rates a high as
1,000,000 tu/hr—ft 3 ma be achieved in the vicinity of the
burners. Most liquid injection incinerator ma ufacturera also make
burners. Fuel burners are usually maintained at low fire conditions
iurin hazardous waste incineration in order to guarantee the
presence of a flame. Lo . heating v iue wastes are often iv jected in
the vicinity of .i burner and high heating value wastes are incin-
erated through a burner. Length to diameter ratios . f liquid
injection u .its are 2:1 to 3:1 and diameters are usually less than
12 feet.
Castable and brick refractories are used in liquid injection
units. No single type of refractory is preferred and the refractory
material is often selected on the basis of waste characteristics.
The rn nimum temperaturc. rating of the refractory is apprUx nate1y
2500°F. Waste loading and ash removal systems are not necessary
on liquid injaction incinerators.
Fluidized bed incinerators are vertical and bed diameters range
Iron 9 to 25 feet in diameter. The fluidized material is usually
sand and bed thickness’ s are 5 to 8 feet in the fluidized state.
28
-------
Licuid and pulverized solid wastes are fed into the bcd. Souie waste
destructio a occurs in the bed and a flame is maintained in the
freeboard area above the bed. Superficial gas velocities in the bed
range from 2.5 to 8.0 feet per second, the lowar value is applicable
ro wet wai tes when vol ti1izatjon of the water mujt occur in the
bed. Fluidizing air is often preheated for improved thermal effi-
ciency. ; lui ized beds are single chamber incinerators although
they are ften equippea with ash drop chamLers or cyclones immed-
iately after the comb’istion chamber which effectively increase hct
zone residence time. Both brick and castable rcfrac ories are used
in the combuston chamber.
2.32 Incinerator Capacities
TypicaL incinerator design capacities and the ranges of
capacities are preset’.tcd in Table 6. Incinerator capacities are
expressad as thermal input. The hearing values of the incinerated
wastes must be known to convert these values to mars input. For the
purposes of this report, the incinerator manufacturing industry
general estimates of 7000 Etu/Ib for solid wastes and 10,000 Btu/lb
for liquid wastes are used. Hearth incinerators have the smallest
capacity of the four rn jor types, rangng from 0.17 to 17.5 nv .llion
Btu/hr, although rotary heartha can be constructed with capacities
ranging from 25 to i?0 rnillion Btu/hr. Typical liquid injection and
rotary kilns have approximately the same ranges of the ,nal capac-
ities and, from the limited data available, fluidized beds have the

in Table 6 has a capacity of 150 million Btu/hr, some m ’inufacturers
have received requests to bid on facilities as large as 300 million
Btu/hr. St ch large facilitie8 may have several primary combustion
chambers ducted to a commun secondary chamber.
2.3.3. t.t,ergy Recovery Equipment
installation of er er y recovery equipment on hazardous waste
incinerators is governed primarily by economic considerations.
About 90 percent of incinerator price quotations requested by
prospective customers during the past si monthq specify energy
recovery equipment. This is a significantly higher percentage than
earlier quotations. Three factors that may preclude installation
of energy recovery equipment are the economy of installations on
small incinerators, the presence of corrosive flue gases, and
presence of ‘sticky’ particulates in the flue gas. Sticky particu—
lates occur when an incinerator is operated at temperatires higher
than the ash fusion temperature. Generally, energy recovery on
incinerators smaller than two to seven million Btu/nr may not be
economical because of the relatively large capital cost of the
equipment. Maintenance costs of equipment in highly corrosive
atmospheres may be pr hibitiva.
Energy is most conveniently recovered as steam, which has
several industrial uses such as the generation of electricity, the
driving cf process machinery, and heating If no energy consumer is
31
-------
in the vicinity of an incinerators installation of energy recovery
equipment may not be economically feasible. Energy may also be
recovered by transferring heat from the incinerator flue gas to
incoming combustion air using a recuperator. Preheating combustion
air imprves combustion cfficiencies and reduces auxiliary fuel
co’zsumption, but is less efficient than energy recovery using a
boiler. Most ir cinerator manufacturers purchase energy recovery
equipment to their specifications rather than fabricate the
equipment.
Hazardous waste incinerators aie generally equipped with either
firetube or watertube boilers. In f retube boilers, the flue gases
flow through tubes and water out de the tubes is heated to produce
steam. Hot flue gases flow around water—filled tubes in th water—
tube toilers. For both types of boilers, flue gas temperatures of
about 1800°F are maint.-iined at the boiler inlet to reduce high
temperature corrosion and plugging problems. Flue ga es hotter than
1800°F are sometimes cooled by water or steam quenches, or air
dilution. Ecit flue gas temperaturea are usually 500° to
550°F. Steam pressures from firetube boilers are generally less
than 150 psi and steam pressures from watertube boilers are
generally less than 2 0 psi. Energy recovery efficiencies of botn
boiler types are ypical1y 60 to 80 percent of the heat content of
flue gases.
32
-------
Firetube boi1. rs are gener i1ly installed on small incinerators
and rarely exceed 15 million Btu/hr capacity bacause of design
limitations. Most manufacturers will su iply watertube boilers of
any capacity. One manufacturer specifies firetube boilers if any
HC1 is present in the hot combustion gases.
The least expensive boiler design uses non—finned tubes and
soot blowers to remove ash build—up. Fins may be added to th. tubes
in order to improve heat transfer if particu a:e concentrati,ns in
the combustion gas are less than 3 grains/dscf and no soft ash is
pe ent. Mechanical ash removal is a more afficient and expensive
option than soot blowers. The production of steam at pressures
greater than 250 psi requires specially fabricated boilers, which
are more expensive than low pressure units. Another design feature
is the installation of a radiation section prior to a tube heat
exchanger for greater efficiency. Flue gas temperatures are reduced
to 1000°F in the radiation section and the exit temperatures from
the tubes are typically 4500 to 500°F. Pressure drops across
energy recovery boilers are usually less than 4 inches . ater column
(w. c. ).
Several boiler modificatic ns may be made to combat the
corrosive effects of hydrochloric acid in the flue gas. The flue
gas may be kept above the d w point of hydrochloric acid, which is
ebout 350°F, to reduce corrosion and below the temperature where
high temperature corroiion starts, approximately 550 0 F. Th
33
-------
cooler end of the boiler may be epoxy coated or linE.d with high
nickel alloys, such as Inconel and Hastelloy. Boiler tubes may be
constructed of thicker metal in a corrosive atmosphere, for instance
10 gauge may be used instead of the usual 12 or 14 gauge. Another
means of resi8ting corrosion L8 to clad the tubes with alloy
sheathes.
2.3.4 Air Pollution Control Equipment
Several factors affect the installation of air pollution
control equipment on hazardous waste incinerators, including:
• lederal, state, and local regulations regarding emissions
• Properties of the waste being incinerated
• Type of incinerator used
• Cuntovner preference
• Equipment cost
Generidly, both gaseous and particulate emissions are controlled,
although some hazardc.’is waste incinerators are not equipped with any
air pollution control equipment. Air pollution control equipment is
located downstream of any energy recovery equipment and can conaist
of one or more of the following components:
• Quench chamber
• P rcicu1ate colle tic,n device
— Venturi scrubber
— Bagho’. se
— Electrostatic precipitator
— Cyclone
— Ionizing et scrubber
34
-------
• Gas absorbing device
— Packed tower scrubber
— Plate or tray scrubber
— Spray to 7er scrubber
— Ionizing wet scrubber
• Mist eliminator
• Flue gas handling equipment
Most haza . dous waste incinerator manufacturers buy air pollution
control equipment from vendors rather than manufacture the equipment.
Ihe purpose of a quench chamber is to cool the flue gas in
order for downstream air pollution control equipment to operate more
efficiently. Water is sprayed into the flue gas, cooling it to
adiabatic saturation temperature. The quench chambers may be
constructed as independent units or they may be integrated with
venturi scrubbers or gas absorbers. At flue gas volumetric flow
rateb ot le8s than 2 million scfh in corrosive atmospheres, quench
chambera are usually constructed o Inconel or }Lastelloy. Stainless
stoel is subject to corrosion by hydrochloric acid and generally is
not used. At higher flow rates, the quench chambers are rubber—
coated carbon steel shells up to 12 or 14 feet in diameter lined
with refractory. Quench chamber construction is single wall at flue
gas temperatures less than 2100°F and double wall at higher
temperatures. Water flows between the double walls to cool the
quench chanbe and cascades into the hot flue gaa zone.
Particulate removal devices are installed downstream frow the
quench chamber. The most common particulate removsl device used on
35
-------
hazardous waste incinerators is the variable throat v: ntur scrubber
equipped w th a water spray, although s vera1. other deii’ es such as
baghousea and electrostatic precipitators have been used. Typical
particulate loadings of incinerator flue gases are 1 grain/dscf,
although concentrations up to 6 grains,’ascf may be encounter& d, and
1;enerally 90 percent of the particles are less than 1 micron in
diameter. Mechanical particulate removal devices., such as cyclones,
are not efficient with such small particles and find limited
application on hazardous waste incinerator:3. Venturi scrubbers are
gen ‘rally construct ’d of Inconel 625, fiber reinforced plastic
(FR.?), or Hastelloy C—276. The particulate removal efficiency of a
venturi scrubber is a function of the pressure drop across the unit
aiLd the particle size distribution. Typical operating pressure
drop zonge frjcn 20 to 100 inches w.c. Several modifications of
particulate cdlecti n devices have been developed to lower
operating pressures. Ionizing chambars have been installed prior to
a packed bed and these ioniz.ing wet acrubbers are being installed on
s. ver ’ new in .inerdtor iacilitie8.
Removal of gaseous pollutants is accomplished using gas—liquid
contacting dev: .ce . such as packed towers, spray towers and flooded
tray towers. Some particulate removal occurs in these devices,
although tney are not designed for that function. Flue gases
saturated with water at temperatures less than 190°F allow the use
of FRP for construction. Mternatively, rubber or plastic lined
36
-------
steel may be used for cot jtruction, but the lining nurt be kt pt
intact to prevent severe corrosion problems. The pH of the
absorbing liquid is maintained at 6 to E by the a4dition o sodium
hydroxide or lime to the recycle water. Several designs of water
recycle systems exist and the primary purpose is to reduce the
volume of wastewater that must be treated. Gas absorption i quipment
typically operates at pressure drops less than 9 inches w.c. and
hydrogen chloride concentrations in the flue gas can be reduced to
20 ppm.
Mist eliminators for the separation of entrained water dr.plets
from the flue gas exiting wet scrubbing equipment include cyclon.’s,
baffled separators, wire mesh, atvl fiber bad separators. Cyclone
and baffled separators are capable of separating particles with
diameters of 10 to 50 microns at operating pressure drops less than
1 inch w.c. Fiber bed mist eliminators are efficient collectors for
droplets less than 10 microns in diameter, although they are subject
to plugging and operate at presrure drops as high as 15 inches w.c.
Wire mesh inst eliminators typically operate at less than 4 inches
w.c. Wire meen and baffled inertial devices are the most frequently
used mist eliminators on hazardous waste incinerators.
The flue gas handling system associated with the air pollution
control system consists of the following components
• Breeching, dampers, and ducts
• Emergency and relief ducting
37
-------
• Air moving equipment (blt wers)
• Stack
High temperature duct8 and breeching are usually refractory lined.
Ducts installed downstraam from a quench hamber and scrubbing
system are usually acid resistant. High temperature ducting is
required for any emergency venting, whether a relief stack with a
damper or art emergency by—pass circumventing the air pollution
control systeia is installed. Flue gas routing thcough the ducts is
controlled by guillotine dampers or high temperature valves. Kilns
and hearths may be equipped with a damper between the primary and
secondary chambers, so that the secondary chamber may be isolated
and used as a liquid ir.jection unit.
Very few natural drafc hazardous waste incinerators have been
(Onstructed recently and flue gases are usually exhausted through
stacks using blowers. The two types of blowers used on hazardous
waste incinerators are forced draft and induced draft blowers.
Forced draft blowers feed combustion air at the front end of an
incinerator and induced draft fans are installed at the back snd of
an incinerator overcoming the resistance caused b drawing flue
gases from combustion chambers, through energy recovery and air
pollution control e..luipment, in order to move the fluc gases out the
stack. Most incinerators employ induced draft blowers as the prime
mover in order to maintain a slightly ne tive pressure in the
combustion chambers. Smaller forced draft blowers are used to
38
-------
supply combustion air, Blowers are usually equipped with dauperr to
adjust air flow rates and control furnace draft. Blower rotors are
generally made of Has . elloy and the parts contacting the flue gas
are made of corrosion resistant mat ’ rials, such as rubber coated
steel, if the flue gac is acidic. Otherwise, carbon steel or
fiberglass are the materials of construction. Blowers are often
equipped with water sprays to reduce particulate buildup on the
impellers.
Incineratoi stacks are generally corrosion resistant, even on
facilities equipped with air pollution control devices.
Condensation can occur within stacks, particularly in cold climates,
and conceatrate small quantities of acid present in a flue gss.
Corrosion resistant coatings applied to carbon steel stacks include
epoxy resins, fiber reinforced plastic, and rub5er. Alternatively,
the entire stack may be constructed of fiber reinforced plastic.
Stacks of tacinerators not using a flue gas quench or wet scrubbing
8ystem are generally refractory lined. Stack gas reheatera and
plume eliminators, which are essentially fuel burners installed in
the stack, reduce condensation and visible steam plumes leaving the
stack. Silencers can be placed between the stack and blo ’er to
reduce noise level.
2.4 Incinerator Operating Information
Incinerator manufacturers design hazardous waste units to
operate at specific conditions depending on the type of incinerator
39
-------
and the waste characteristics. The most important operating
conditions are the combustion zone temperature) combustion as
residence time at elevated temperature, and excess air usage.
Typical operating conditions are summarized in Table 7. Hazardous
waste incinerators may be designed to operate oucside the ranges of
these typical values. These data were obtained from a relatively
smaU aampling of incinerator manufacturers and may not be indi-
cative of the entire industry. Incinerator manufacturers often
determine operating conditiond from trial burns of a customer’s
waste.
2.4.1 Combustion Zone Temperatures
Liquid injection incinerators generally operate at higher
combustion zcne temperatures tnan the other types of incinerators
because of the low excess air requirements. Liquid wastes are
relatively easy to atomize and do not require large amounts of
combustion air to en ure complete oxidation of solid wastes.
Hazardous wastes containing organically bound chlorine are generally
incinerated at temperatures higher than 2200°F. Aqueous wastes
containing salts are seldom incinerated at temperatures higher than
l900 0 F in order to prevent refractory damaqe.
Rotary kilns generally operate at lower combustion temperatures
than liquid injection units and at approximately the same
temperatures as hearth units. Wastes are volatilized in titc kiln,
and some combustion does occur in the kiln. The general practice in

-------
this country has been to operate the kiln temperatures 1.ow r than
the slagging temp r cture of steel when incinerating wastes in steel
drums. European unita are often operated above the steel slagging
temperature and bevera 1 . rece .t kilos have .een designed by American
manufacturers to operate above tha steel slagging temperature,
(between 2400°F and 2800°F, depending on eutectic materials
present in the waste). Afterburner temperatures are correspondingly
higher for steel slagging unit8. Liquid and gaseous wa8tes are
often incinerated in the afterburner to provide the necessary
thermal input that might otherwise be ç .rovided by auxiliary fuel.
Hearth and fluidized bed incinerators have not been designed to
operate under steel slagging conditions. Combustion zone temper-
atures are relatively ]ow because high excess air is used to ensure
turbulence. Turbulen e is attai.ned in fluidized beds through
contact between the waste aol the bed particles. The high tur-
bulence -ermits oxidation at relatively Yaw con.bustion zone
temperatures in fluidized beds.
2.4.2 Residence Time
Residence time may be defined as tI:e time a paccel of combus-
tion gas remains at the combustton zone temperature. kesidence
times cannot be meos ired directly and are most often estimated from
the combustion gas volume flow rate at combustion zone conditions
and the combustion chamber volume. In fact, the design residence
time is attained by adjusting the size of the secondary combustion
42
-------
chamber of kiins and hearths and the primary chamber of liquid
in ection and fluidized bed units. Gas residence times in rotary
kilos and the primary chamber of heartha are usually not included in
residence time computation. Solids retention times in these
cha’nbers are designed to obtai., suffiuient burnout of the ash.
Incinerator manufacturers have used several methods to increase
residence times and turbulence in the combustion chamber. The most
common method is to induce cyclonic flow by the design and location
of waste and fuel burners. Baffles and mixing chambers are also
used to promote turbulence. The effectiveness of the various
methods must be evaluaLed from performance tests of the entire
incineration system.
2.4.3 Excess Air Usage
Excess air usage varies widely among incinerator manufac-
turers. The amount of excess air is usually micimized if energy
recovory equipment is installed in order to ensure the maximum
twperature difference between the heat exchanger inlet nd outlet
and, therefore, the highest energy recovery efficiencies. Liqiid
injection incinerators always operate with an excess of air,
generally 20 to 60 percent in excess of stoichiometric air require-
ments. The only exception is the ir.cineration of organic wastes
containing nitrogen, when two chamber incinerators are used. The
primaiy chamber is operated under starved air conditions (less than
atoichionietric air) t. minimize the rormation of nitrogen cxides.
43
-------
Organics are oxidized in the presence of excess air in the secondary
chamber. Liquid injection incinerators may operate under slightly
positive pressure if a forced draft blower is used, or slightly
negative combustion chamber pressures if an induced draft blower is
used. In either case, pre3sure differe tial& in the combustion
chamber are generally less than two inches water column from
atmospheric pressure.
The j rimary chamber of rotary kiln incinerators may be operated
either in a starved air or excess air mode. Generally, analler
rotary kilns (5 to 20 million Btu/hr) are operated in a starved air
mode, and the larger units are always op rated using excess air.
Beciuse rotary kilns incinerators are aiwdys equipped with an
oxidizing secondary “.ombustion chamber, there is always overall
excess air usage. Rotary kilns operate at. a slight vacuum (less
than two inches water column) in the combustion chambers, maintained
by an induced draft blower. As a result, air may enter through
charging doors, seals, and ports as well as comnbustioti air forced
draft blowers. Allowances for air entering through leaks are
incorporated in kii.n designs. Similarly, hearth incinerators
commonly operate under starved air conditions in the primary chamber
and with excess air in the secondary chamber. Overall excess air
usage ranges from 30 to 100 percent. Hearth incinerators require
higher excess air usage than rotary kilna to ensure turbulence. The
rotation of the kiln agitates the waste to improve turbulence.
44
-------
Methodr used to agitate colid wastes in hearths an promote
turbulence include the use of reciprocating grates, rakes over the
gratEs, and hydraulic rams to push the waste along the hearth.
Combustion air may enter the incinerator both above and below the
hearth and combustion chamber pressures are usually slightly
negative.
Fluidized bed incinerators are able to operate at very little
excess air because of the excellent mixing of air and waste in the
bed. The majnrity of the a .r entering the incinerator is used to
fluidize the bed. Some sir is introduced in the headspace above the
bed in order to ensure complete oxidation. Negative combustion
chamber pressures are usually maintained at Less than one inch .ater

3.0 PROFILE OF EXISTING HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINE’ ATION FACILITIES
This section contains a summary of the ‘umbers, types, and
characteristics of hazardous waste incineration systems in use in
the United Scatas based on information obtained from the owners and
operators of incineration facilities.
3.1 Data Collection Effort
Information about current hazardous waste incineration
practices was obtained for two purposes, specifically:
• Loading of the Hazardous Waste Control Technology Data Base
(HWCTDB)
• Development of a regulatory impact analysis (RIA) of the EPA
hazardous waste incineration standards.
The HWCTDB is an automated data management storage and
retrieval system designed to store comprehensive design, operating,
and performance data on facilities using thermal precesses to
destroy hazardous wastes. Additional iriform tion on L he HWLTDB may
be found in “Recommended Structure, Content, and Data Formata for a
Hazardous Waste Control Technology Data Base,” (Holberger, 1981) and
in the ‘IIWCTDB System Documentation,” (CSc Corporation, l9 2).
The EPA Office of Solid Waste (0sw), charged with developing
the RIA før th inc5neration standards, identified specific data
requireoents for the development of an industry profile, on w) ich
they were to base their RIA. The data needs identified by 0S 1
Consisted € a subs’ t of the data elements ccntained in the HWCTDB.
47
-------
Since the RIA needs were pressing, emphasis in t e data collection
effort was on contacting all current hazardouo waste incineration
facilities to obtain the basic dora needed or the RI , rathe than
contacting a smaller number of facilities to obtain more
comprehensive data for filling Out the data base.
3.1.1 Identification of Facilities
Regulations promulgated under the Resource Conservatiou and
Recovery Act (RC A) require all hazardous waste treatment, storage,
or disposal facilities to apply fur a permit to co itinue
operations. Part A of the ptrmit process consists of submission of
EPA Form 3510—1, titled “Form 1, General Information” (80FR33555 and
33556, 19 May 1980) and EPA Form 3510—3, titled “Form 3, RCRA
Hazardous Waste Permit Application” (80FR33584—33588, 19 May 1980).
Information from these two forms has been compiled and stored in the
automated Hazardous ‘ aste Data Management System (H DMS).
A r3trieval of all facilities applying for an incineration
permit formed the basic list of incineration facili’..ies for this
study. A typical retrieval of Part A information for one of these
fac 1ities ia shown in Figure 1. The basic list was augmented with
the names of other fa ilities identified as potential sites of
azerdous waste incineratorP based on published documentation,
information in EPA and state regulatory agency files, and on the
personal knowledge of MITRE staff member i. As of the 30 November
1981 cuteff date established by OSW/M.LTRE agreement, 566 facilities

A DATA SET RETRIEVED FRON HWDMS FOR A TYPICAL MW INCINERATION FACILITY
-------
were listed in HWDMS as hazardous waste incineration facilities. An
additional 46 facilities were identified from other sources,
yielding a list of 612 facilities potentially operating one or more
hazardous waste incinerators. This list of facilities is given in
Appendix B.
3.1.2 Data Collection Procedures
Data collection for the HWCTDB was initially envisioned as a
two—phase effort. The facilities were to be contacted by telephone
to determine whether voluntary c000eracion with the project could be
expected and if a site visit coild he arranged. Detailed
information would be obtained during su h visitu. This procedure
was modified shortly after implementation because of the urgency of
the data needs for the RIA. All 612 facilities were contacted by
telephone in order to verify the accuracy of the Part A permit
application inforn.at..on and to c’ tain the additional limited amount
of date necessary for the RIA. A sample of the telephone log sheet
prepared to record each telephone conversation is reproduced in
Appendix C.
The telephoning chores were divided between MITRE and Acurex
Corporation of Mountain View, California to expedite the task.
MITRE contacted approximately 450 facilities in th eastern United
States and Acurex contacted approximately 15(’ facilities i.% the
west. The completed log sheets ware subr.dtted to EPA, OSW and the
data obtained from the calls are Gttmmdri i’d in the following section.

3.2 Data Summary
information obtai . ed from the owners and operators of hazardous
vast facilities is summarized in the following 36 Tables. The
tables are divided into five groups to simplify discussion of the
data, specifically:
• Existence and ge ieral characteristics of hazardous waste
incinerators (Tables 8 through 14)
o incinerator capacities and operating information (Tables 15
through 24)
• Waste characteristics (Tables 25 through 35)
• Installation of air pcllution control and energy recovery
equipment (Tabi s 36 thro gh 40)
• Thermal destruction of hazardous wastes in devices other
than incinerators (Tables 4t through 43)
A list of the u 2 incineration facilities is provided in Appendix B,
with some of the data summarized i . first group of tables. The
following discussion explains the derivation and signi ance of the
data summaries.
3.2.1 General Facili L Characteristics
Table 8 summarizes the status of facilities which were
identified Sb potential Sites of hazardous waste incinerators. The
table gives the count of facilities which verified having an
operational incinerator and (siace several facilities o?eLated more
than one unit) the total number of incineration systems. Uness
otherwise stated in tais report, combination incinerators, such as a
rotary kiln and liquid injection unit in series or feeding a commc r ’

-------
afterburner are counted as one incineratlin system. Operatior.al HW
incinerati rs are defir ed as those currently burning hazardous waste
or which are “temporarily” shut down for maintenance or other
causes. Standby units are classified as operational.
The sample size of 537 facilities is lesb than the list of 612
facilities in Appendix B. The primary reason for the smaller simple
size is that many facility representatives ,ou1d not divulge any
information to a contractor without a letter from EPA and/or
internal corporate approval. Because no data were obtained from
these facilities, they are not represented in the data summaries.
The “status unknown” column in Table 8 refers to facility spokesmen
who acknowledged the presence of a hazardous waste incinerator at
th facility, but would not provile any additional information.
Approximately tea faciliti’ s couLd not be contacted.
Of the 537 faci1itie providing information, P1 .9 repotted
havi ig an operational hazardous waste incinerator, with an
additional 32 incinerators under construction. Severa1. reasons
exist for the poor correlation of the number of facilities reporting
incinerators and the number who submitted Part A applications,
including:
• The facility may have some other type of thermal treatment
system such as a fume oxidizer, boiler, trach incinerator,
or process kiln that was erroneously reported as an
incinerator oa the Part A
• The facility may be planning to install a hazardous waste
incinerator
53
-------
• The facility owner may have misinterpreted the app1 ication
form and indicated the presence of an incinerator when the
waste is actually shipped off—sit€. for incineration at
another facility
• Typographical and comp iter data entry errors.
Both the numbers of facilities and inci. erators are
significantly less than earlier eatmates of the 11W incinerator
population uade by OSW. In early 1981, OSW made a random survey of
1200 of the approximately 14,000 Part A applications submitted. The
survey indicated that 73 of the 1200 facilitie:. Leported 11W
incinerators. Extrapolation of this response would indicate a total
of 852 incineration facility permit applicants, with a range of 686
to 1065 faciH.ties at the 95 percent confidence level.
Because of the difference of these incinerator estimates and
incomplete data entry in the HWDMS as of Nc’veniher 1981, the d3ta
base was revit wed at the c’rnclusion of this project i.n July 1982.
Several incineration facilities had been deleted from the data base
in accordance with the findings of this survey, but, more
significantly, a large number of additional facilities had been
added. These changes are detailed in Tables B—i and B—2 in Appendix
B. Of the 608 facilities listed in the HWDME as of July 1982, 128
had not been contacted during this study. If the same percentage of
thesa 126 facilities is assumed to have incinerators as found in
this current survey (41 percent), an additional 52 facilities would
have 68 incinerators. Therefore, based on the July 1982 data, it
54
-------
may be estimated that there wcre 352 operational hazardous waste
incinerators at 271 facilities in th United States. This estimate
agrees vt’rv well with the incinerator population of 342 derived from
the incinerator manufacturers s. rvey.
Table 9 J.resents a State and EPA Regional distribution of
operational IIWI facilities. Although none of the data id this
report was subjected to formal statistical treatment, inRpection of
the geographical data in . his table shows an apparent correlation of
the number of HWI facilities with Known chemical industry centers.
Texas and Louisiana report 52 (18 percent of the incinerator
facilities. Other industrialized states with a large number of
facilities include New York (12), California (10) and North Carolina
(10). Large areas of the west have few incinerators and EPA Region
X has no 11W incineration facilities.
Table 10 lists the number of facilities reporting 11W
incinerators unde’ construction or in planning. Thirty—two
facilities reported having an incit erator under construction or
completed but not yet operational. Three of these facilities
already have another NW incinerator in operation. Eleven facilities
have an incinerator actively planned and thirteen have some type of
remote plans to install an incinerator. This latter type of planning
is usually very uncertain and subject to change depending on the
e ouomic and regulatory climate locally and nationally. Nineteen
facilities that reported NW incineration on their Part A said they

were planning an incinerator but have changed plans, or they had an
operational unit which has subsequently been shut down. In most
cases, the decision to change plans was the result of many factors.
Howev :, two of the companies specifically cited the RCRA
regulations as influencing the corporate decibion.
Table 11 shows the commercial status of 11W incineration
facilities i.n each EPA region. A commercial facility is defined as
any facility which engages in the business of F.4 incineration. A
private facility is defined as any non—governmental, noi’ —coiwnercirl
facility. The data shows that J75 of che 219 respondents
(approximately 80%) are private operations. Of t other 44
facilities, 28 were comme -cial operations and 15 were government
operations. One facility was private but accepted wastes from other
generators. However, the spokesman for this facility was not
certain how long this practice would continue since the economics
and logistics of the operation were becoming unfavorable. Most of
the government facilities are engaged in either ammunition produc-
tion or obsolete ammunition disposal. Such incinerators are usually
special purpose units designed or fabricated to contain the fotces
released during the incineration of the material. There is no
obvious distinctio— ‘etween the geographical distribution of the
private versus commercial incinerators.

reported operating a I inv inerator. The table also shows the
nwnber of facilities that reported operating a 11W incinerator for
incineration research purposes. M38t of the research facilities
have small incinerators and burn a variety of laboratory wastes in
snail quantities. The actual number of research facilities
incinerating hazardous wastes may be much higher than shown because
many such facilities may be exempted as small generators, and thus,
were not required to submit permit applications. Many of these
units operate on ar. intermittent schedule or only on an as needed
basis. The four incineration research tacilities were all operated
by incinctator manufacturers. One manufacturer reported six
incineration units available for demop tration or test burning of
Customer’s wastes.
Table 13 shows the geographical distribution by EPA Region of
the various types of HW incinerators. The types of i 1cinerators are
defined as fo1lows
Liquid injection — an incinerator that uses an atoxrization
device or nozzle to feed only liquid wastes.
Fume with Liquid Capability — an incinerator principally used
for burning of vapors which has an atomization device or nozzle
for burning of liquid waste.
Hearth with Liquid Capa’ility — any fixed hearth or chamber
designed for the introduction of bulk waste but equipped witn
an atomization device or nozzle for burning cf liquid waste.
Hearth (solids only) — any fixed h€arth or chamber dedicated
for incineration of solids and not equipped for the injection
of liquid waste.

The liquid injection incinerator is the most prevalent type,
accounting for 52 percent of he 264 incinerators identified by
type. The sum of the four types of incinerators with liquid
injection capability is 79 percent of the total.
Table 14 shows the age distribution of the various types of 11W
incinerators. The table shows that aPproximately 80 percent of all
units are less than 0 years old and 50 ?ercent are 6 to 10 years

specified for 180 of the 208 liquid waste incinerators. The median
capacity is 150 gallons per hour; 27 percent of the liquid injection
i.nciner ztors burn less than 50 gallons per hour; and 14 percent of
the incinerators reported capacities greater than 1000 gallor.a per
hour. The capacity distribution of the various types of liquid
injection incinerators is presented in Table 16. Fume incinerators
with liquid injection capabilities have the smallest median liquid
waste capacity less than 100 gallnns per hour.
The capacity distributioLi of olid waste incinerators is
presented in Table 17 and daveluped as a function of inciner tor
type in Table 18. If non—hazardous solid wastc is incinerated with
hazardous solid waste, the total design capacity of the i’icinerator
is reported. Solid waste capacities were reported tor 44 of the 61
solid waste incinerators. The median capacity of solid waste
incinerators is approximately 650 pounds per hour, equi a1ent to
approximacely 78 gallons per hou’ of aqueous wastes. The median
capacity of hearth incinerators is generally less that of other
units, at approximately 500 pounds per hour.
Table 19 shows the utilization time for the 219 incinerators
for which such data was reported. Only 71 incinerators (32 percent)
reported continuous operation. Some units reported continuous
operation. but on a seasonal or production dependent basis. These
units are tabulated under the appropriate partial time category.

(1) — Part .a1 operation generally implies some operation each week
or month. However, some units reported extended periods of
continuous operation followed by extended periods of shut down.
(2) Unit is on standby or down for maintenance.
(3) Intermittent refers to sporadic operation generally with low
total usage.
(4) — 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, except for maintenance.

-------
Incinerators connected to manufacturers process streams, especially
fume/liquid incinerators, are more likely to be operated on a
continuous basis.
Table 20 shows the distribution of maximum combustion zone
temperatures for 173 incinerators for which data was provided.
Table 21 presents temperature data by type of incinerator. The
median temperature rar ge for all incinerators is in the 1700—1800°F slightly-
higher than that of all incineratDrs at approximalely 1800°F. Fifteen (65
percent) of the 23 units for which reported temperatures exceeded 2200°F
were of the lI 9 uid injection type. Fume incinerators with liquid injection
capability have the lowest median temperature (appreximately 1300°F and 14
of the 20 units were reported to operate at temperatures of 1600°F or less.
These combustion zone temperatures reflect the amount of excess air intro-
duced into the diffcrenttypes of incinerators. The liquid injection unit.
usu 11y operate at lower excess air rates than fume or solid units. If
thor factors are held constant, higher excess air usace produces a lower
chamber temperature.
other factors are held constant, higher excess air usage produces a
lower combustion chamber temperature.
Table 22 shows the distribution of gaseous residence times for
104 incin rators and Table 23 shows this data by type of inciner-
ator. Residence time data were provided for only 37 percent of the

-------
incinerators although temperature data were provided for 61
percent. This paucity of data was ptoiably caused by two factors:
• The inability to directly measure residence time
• Lack of cLear understanding of the definition of residence
time
This latter cajse was more evident among operators of small inciner—
stars burning solids who misinterpreted residence time as the
burnout time required to incinerate solids in the combustion
chamber. The gaseous residence time is the time that a parcel of
vapor moving through the system remains at the combustion temper-
ature.
Almost half of the respondents reported gaseous residence times
equal to or grea r than two 8eCOflds. Incinerators burning solids
have slightly greater residence times than those burning liquids but
the data are too sparse to establish this correlation definitively.
Table 24 shows the combined temperature and residence time data
for the different types of incinerators. The bottom row of data
shows the distribution of temperature and residence times for all
types of incinerators. Incinerators with high c nbustion zone
temperatures tend to have long gaseous residence times. Of the 54
incinerators operating at combustion temperatures over 1900°F, 3
(74 percent) also had residence times of two se. onris or more. In
contrast, only 11 of 45 (24 percent) of he incinerators operating
at combu,tion temperatures of 1900°f or below had residence times
of two si’ci nds or more.

3.2.3 Waste Characteristics
Tables 25 through 35 present data on he characteristics of
wastes being incinerated. Table 25 shows the number of HW
incinerators reporting specific hazardous wastes and the annual
quantity of waste incinerated. Tables 26 through 33 report the same
data as a function of incinerator type and capacity. In all of the
tables, the wastes are identified using EPA ’s hazardous waste codes,
as presented in the Federal Register (45FR331 19—33133, May l , 1980
and subsequent amendments). The description correspondiu to each
code used in this report is giJen in Appendix D.
Where possible, non—listed ignitable wastes (D00 1) were divided
into foue categories based on the heat content and hazardous
constituent cc 1 1cc-ntrati ri o.2 the waste stream. A high heat content
(high Btu) waste is one greater than 6030 Btu per pound. A highly
hazardous waste (hig t aw) is one with hazardous constituent
concentrations grearer than 50 p rcent. The four categories used in
the tables are:
• high Btu, high MW (such as spent organic liquids)
• low Btu, low MW (such as contaminated water)
• high Btu , low 11W (such as trash, paper, rags, etc.
contaminated with hazardous waste)
• waste light oils (lubricating and cutting oils with a flash
p&.nt of 140°F or less)
No wsste streatus with low Btu and high MW were reported.

The most frequently reported waste was the non—listed ignitable
waste with high Btu and high MW content. Of 284 incinerators) 69
(24 percent) were reported burning this waste. OLher commonly
reported wastes were the corrosive (D002) and reactive (DOG3)
wastes, by 11 p :cent oxf the incinerators, and two categories of
spcnt non—halog€ntated solvents, F003 and F005, by 8 percent of the
iiciaerators. Most facilities reported incineration of wastes with
multiple w 3te codes.
The largest annual quantity of waste reported is the F003 waste
(spent non— ialogenatated solvents) with acetone and xylene being
commonly reported as the principal constituents. Eighteen
incinctators reported incinerating over 233,000 tons per year of
this waste.
Except for these F003 wastes, all wastes reported in large
quantities (greater than 100,000 tons per year) are aqueous.
Incineration of 192,000 tons of aqutous corro ve and reactive
wastes was reported by thirty incirerators. Other large quantities
of aqueous wastes are reported in the categories of DOOl, low
Btu/lew MW ignitables; KOll, wastewater from acrylonitrile
production; and, P063, hydrocyanic acid. Most of these aqueous
wastes are not suited for recycle or recovery and it is usually not
coat—effective to ship such large quantities of waste off—site for
disposal.
97
-------
Table 34 shows the source of hazardol)s wastes burned in ea ..h
EPA Region in terms of on—site or off—site generation of the waste.
Of 177 respondents, 136 (77 percent) rcported that all waste vas
generated on—site. Of the 32 facilities reportng incineretion of
wastes gcoerated off—site, 28 (88 percent) are commercial incinera-
tors.
Table 35 shows the source of individual waste types in terms of
on—site or off—site generation of the waste. There does not appear
to be any obvious pattern to this data, except that large quantities
of aqueous wastes are rarely trans .orted off—site for incineration.
One large chemical marwfacturer wi : ’ - incinerators &t several
locations throLghout the nation stated that all chlorinated waste
were shipped to one incinerator facility for destruction. Only
non—chlorinated wastes were incinerated on—site.
3.2.4 Air Pollution Control and }le t Recovery Datr
Table 36 shows the number of in ir,erators which were reported
to use air pollution control devices (APCDs). Of the 223 uni’s for
which information was obta e1, lOL (45 -ercent) were reported to
use one or more APCD. Respondents representing 100 of these 10].
units provided at least partial information about the typed of APC!)
used. Most of the incineration systems (83 ur.its, 37 percent of
those for which data was obtained) used some form of scrubber
system, ofteu in ombinatiou with a quench, and/or other device.

Table 37 pre .ents data on the presence of APCD’s on
inciner...tors operating at various combustion temperatures and
residence tines. Ot those incinerators with APCD’B, 41 percent
operate at Lt mpera ures over 2000°F and residence times of pore
than two seconds. Only 13 percent of the incinerators witho,it APCDs
oparated at such high temperaLux s and long çesidence times.
Examination of the tab:e indicates that in’ inerators operating at
high combuction zone temperatures are more likely to use APC s than
those operatin at lower combustion zone temperatures: 78 percent
of the incinerator operating above 2000°F used some form of
APCD. Only 26 percent of the incinerators operating below 1800 0 F
used an APCD.
Tables 38, 39, and 40 present data on the use of heat recovery
devices wi i 11W incine ators. Heat recovery was employed by 40 out
of lid respondents (22 perce ’t). No geographical pattern was
apparent in the use of heat recovery. Although not indicated by
these tab1e , a major reason for not installing heet recovery
equipment is that an intermittent operatin 0 schedule does not
provide a continuous outpu of recovered energy. (Nearly 50 percent
of the incinerators were reported Lo opeLate less than 30 percent of
the time——Table 19).
Tl e data in Tables 19 and 40 indicate that a relatively larger
perce tt3ge of i.nctneratora burning liquids (26 percent) employ heat
recovery than incineratots burnin& solids (10 percent). In

addition, ldrger liquid injection unit8 ate more likely to have heat
recovery than ma1ler un itS. This correlation nay exist t ecause
smaller solids burning and liquid units enera!i .y do not pr.. duce a
sufficiet ly uniform energy supply to w trrant heat recovery.
However, the data are too sparse to confirm this correlation.
3.2.5 Hezardous Waste Des ructio in Other herinal lievices
Tables 41, 42, tnd 43 present data on the number of facilities
burning hazardous waste in boilers or process ki ns for energy
recovery. Thirty—two facilities reported birning hnzarJ us waste ir
boilers and five fLcilities reported burning hazardous waste in
process kiln . It is not possible to make any valid estimate to the
extent of this practice from these data, because facilities burning
ItW in boilers and process kilns were not required to file P..rt A
applications. The facilities listed in Table 41 had an erroneous
indication of }1 incinerator in the HW MS.
Table 42 shows the typ’s and quav tities of wastes reported to
be burned in boilers for energy recovery. Of 32 facilities, 13 (41
percent) reported the burning of high Btu, high MW content ignitable
waste (DOOl). Most of th other facilities reported buining various
spent solvents. Toluene (U220) was specifically mentioned by
representatives of two facilities. Table 43 shows the types a’ d
quantities of wastes reported to be burned in process kilns for
energy ceco ery. Most of the was ,.es burned are high Btu content

reported include acetone methyl ethyl ketot e , tolue. e, and xylene.
Three other facilities reported burning hazardous wastes in
devices which they or the EPA Regional Office consider n t to be
incinerators. In one case, a chemical manufacturer burns waste in a
thermal treatment unit of a process stream. A second compeny uses
petroleun still bottoms as fuel in a spent petroleum catalyst
roaster. The third facility thermally oxidizes hydrochlo’ ic acid
and chloriflat d hydrccarbons for reuse.

LIST OF POSS.LBLE tiAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATION FACILITIES
able B—i presents the list of 612 facilities which were
idt ntified as possible opPrators of one or more operational
hazarduus waste incinerators. Of these, 566 were identified from
}iWDMS as of 30 November 1981. The remaining 46 were identi ,rjed
either from the literature or personal knowleIge of MITRE staff.
This list does not and is not me L1 to indicate all possole MW
incineratr r facili .ies in the U.S. Furthermore, inciu&j.on on the
list does not necessarily mean the facility operates a MW
incinerator.
The contact Jtatus coluna indicates thos& facilities
successfui]y contacted (indicated by X) dur:ng either the work prior
to this ?roje t or the current effort. Thirteen contacts ier-e never
completed du3 to n inability to reach a company spokesman
(indicated by A). Contact was not attempted with 35 fecilities
(indicated by a blank). Most of these were facilities for which
Part A data were not vai1able ftom HWDMS. Thus there were no data
to verify.
The incinerator status column gives a capsule sumn. ry of whether
or not the facility had an operational hazardous wast3 incinerator
(indicated by Y or N). The c her codes indicate various .ther
ituatio s existing at the facility. A c mp1ete explanation of the
codes is given at the end of the tabie.
The other information sources column indicates those sources
(othei than teIep one contact) which produced data or information
about he facility. An explanation of the source codes is given at
tie end of the table.
Table B—2 lists the name and locations of the 84’ facilities
shown on the HW )MS retrieval for 12 July 1982 which did not appear
on t’t HWD 4S re rieya 1 for 30 November 1981. The seven facilities
whose names are preceded by an asterisk were listed in Table B—i as
of 30 lloveinber as possible inciner&tors, but were nt lis ed in
HWDMS at that ti,e. They have siace been listed in HWDMS.

APPENDIX C
RWDMS DATA RETRIEVAL AND VE:tIFICATION
Version 3 of HWDMS, which was operational at the time of this
study could store up to 79 items of dats for each facility whicL
stores, treats or disposes of hazardous waste. A subset of these 79
iteme , which would provide the basic information about each HW
incineration facility, was selected for retrieval. The datc
gathering and verification efforts of the j roject would add to this
information to build as complete a data set as possible for each
facility. Figure 1 (in the ma1i 5ody of the report) shows the
printout for a typical retrieval of incineration related data from
HWDMS for one of th 566 facilities which indicated incineration as
one of its processes. Table C—i lists the data contet t of a
complete retrieval of such data. A complete data set was not
available for all facflit:es. A retrieval of this type of data was
made for each of the 566 facilities which indicated ineinerattoa in
their process codes.
Figure C—2 shows the ‘elephone log sheet used for verLficatio i
of data retrieved from HWDMS. In addition to 11W incinerator data,
the forms also contained some basic vnrlficatjon questions
pertaining to t-ft4 storage in cont&ners, tanks and s rfsce
impoundvnents. These data were verAfjed in order to avoid repetitive
contact wit) the same facility by OSW. These data were providei to
OSW separately.
