Abstract
ABSTRACT
Bayer AG is one out of three leading chemical manufacturers in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). In Germany the company employes about 62,000 people at five different production sites.
The task of a chemical company is well defined: raw materials are to be converted into products to be sold. However, chemical reactions almost never lead only to the desired products, rather complex reaction mixtures are generated.
Therefore measures have to be taken to control emissions in order to avoid possible damage to the environment. This paper deals with hazardous waste incineration at Bayer AG in general and in more detail with two selected special applications: PCB-incineration and incineration of brine solutions containing organic compounds.
