Significance of Residence Time Relevant to Hazardous Waste Incineration

Abstract

ABSTRACT

A discussion of residence time importance to completeness of hazardous compound destruction is presented. Laboratory systems which have accurately calculated residence time distributions are compared to pilot scale and full scale hazardous waste incinerators. Differences in existing regulations is pointed out regarding the prescription approach vs output only approach. A case is presented for continued research into a residence time measurement technique.
