Characterization of the Rotary Kiln Incinerator System at the USEPA Combustion Research Facility (CRF)

Abstract

ABSTRACT

In order to bridge the gap from laboratory scale incineration studies and those in full scale technology, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency concluded that a dedicated and fully characterized pilot scale incinerator was required. The outcome of this decision was the USEPA Combustion Research Facility (CRF) located in Jefferson, Arkansas. This paper is a description of that facility and, more specifically, of the incineration technology presently available there and of the supporting laboratories.
