Although incineration or thermal oxidation can destroy
many unwanted pollutants, the byproducts formed can still be considered
hazardous and require additional air pollution control. Solid and
liquid waste incineration can produce acid gases such as hydrogen
chloride and salts/oxides of heavy metals such as antimony, beryllium,
cadmium and nickel. Catalytic and regenerative thermal oxidizers
produce both hydrogen chloride and other halogen acid gases when
oxidizing certain volatile organic compounds. In addition, the gases
leaving the incineration process can range from 300°F to 2500°F.
Ceilcote APC has the expertise to provide a complete emission control
system from the high-temperature quench to the exhaust stack. In
some cases, where only gas scrubbing is required, a high-efficiency
packed
tower scrubber is adequate. For applications where particulate
removal is also required, fluid-bed
scrubbers, venturis, or an Ionizing
Wet scrubber (IWS™) may be recommended depending on the particulate
size and characteristics. In any case, Ceilcote can provide gas scrubbing
efficiencies >99.99% and reduce particulate levels below 0.001
gr/DSCF. |
