New developments in long-term sampling of dioxins
Introduction The emissions of Dioxins and Furans (Polychlorinated Dibenzodioxins and Dibenzofurans, PCDF/Ds) from industrial sources are still one of the most important issues discussed in public, politics and industry. Due to the fact that environmental regulations are on the way to be harmonised in the EU countries, the measurements of those compounds in the stack gas of e. g. waste ...

Pollutant reduction control and Continuous Emissions Monitoring at Waste-to-Energy Plants
Waste is generally undesired, and best not generated at all. The second best alternative to manage waste is to recycle it. However, there is also waste that for various reasons is not recycled. Landfills have then been the old-school solution, but it is for environmental reasons becoming a less viable option. What then remains is waste incineration, in most cases while recovering the energy ...

An optimisation model for transportation of hazardous wastes
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has considerably increased the transport of materials along the US-Mexico borders. Maquiladoras are business entities that are structured to take relative advantages offered by both countries to develop cost-effective products. Current Mexican regulations require that hazardous wastes generated by US companies be shipped back for proper disposal. ...

10 Pre-Incineration Tips for Medical Waste
Here is a list of 10 useful tips for pre-processing of medical waste to get the best from your waste management process. Segregate wastes at the source to minimize the volume of actual regulated medical waste (RMW). Isolate RMW that must be incinerated; depending on local regulations, at least a small portion of biohazardous waste, including sharps, may have to be incinerated. Include ...

Spearheading Medical Waste Management in Indonesia
In a country where over 10% live under the poverty line, having effective medical waste management solutions in place can be tricky and ultimately expensive. In Indonesia, many medical facilities do not have access to on-site waste disposal and recently some Government backed initiatives have commissioned large facilities for collecting and disposing of large volumes of medical waste safely. When ...

The Real Cost of Landfill
In the western world we are focused on the reduction of landfill and replacing it with a more holistic approach to waste management. This includes a mix of recycling, re-using and general reduction. However there is still a need for incineration in many cases as no other technology provides the same complete destruction of the waste – many pollutants and particulates can only be ...

Low cost pre-treatment of waste landfill emissions - does mechanically-biologically treated waste facilitate the operation of low environmental impact landfills?
Rules and regulations contained in the German Federal Waste Management Act are specified and complemented in administrative directives. One of them is the so called Technische Anleitung Siedlungsabfall (TASi), in other words the Technical Directive for Municipal Solid Waste, which stipulates criteria for the use, treatment and disposal of waste materials. Where it is not possible to ...

Flux force condensation scrubbing
Flux force condensation scrubbing technology is used to capture fine (submicron) particulate at extremely high efficiency. It is a preferred method when using wet scrubbing to collect and control dioxins from combustion sources. As an added benefit, through the use of condensation, the water vapor plume commonly associated with a wet scrubbing system can be effectively eliminated. The overall ...

Regulating Mercury Emissions
Historically, mercury (Hg) has found its use in many products such as thermometers, batteries, and fluorescent lamps. However, mercury is extremely toxic, and it has in modern days been banned from use in most applications.By example, the Minamata Convention on Mercury from 2013 has been designed to prevent releases of mercury and mercury compounds in order to protect human health and the ...

Making MGP Wastes Beneficial
More than 11 billion gallons of coal tar were generated at MGP sites in the United States from 1816 to 1947. The types and quantities of waste discharged to surface waters from MGPs vary from site to site, and the disposition of several billion gallons is unknown and remains unaccounted for. Numerous locations in the United States have sediments and soils contaminated with wastes generated from ...

EPA proposes updates to CISWI rules
On June 4, 2010, the U.S. EPA proposed updates to the Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS) for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration (CISWI) Units (NSPS Subpart CCCC) and Emission Guidelines (EG) for Existing CISWI Units (EG Subpart DDDD), collectively referred to as the "CISWI Rules." In order to describe the proposed updates to the CISWI Rules, it is necessary ...
