A Global Solution for Mercury Monitoring and Process Optimization - Case Study
The Incineration and Energy from Waste (EfW) sectors face tighter emission controls, to meet updated national regulations, whilst facing increasing pressure to reduce plant operating costs. The Minamata Convention on Mercury (Hg), a global agreement on environment and health protection adopted in 2013, includes the need to control and reduce Hg emissions from the related industrial sectors. ...

The math behind long-term dioxin sampling
Can I let you in on a secret? Your current method of measuring dioxins is probably not giving you the whole picture about your dioxin emissions. A typical waste incineration plant will run for about 8000 hours per year. Many waste incineration plants are still using the old method of periodic sampling. With periodic sampling, dioxins are only measured for 6-8 hours at a time. You don’t need ...

Want to avoid holiday stress? Take care of your mercury monitoring now for a happy Christmas
Christmas can be a stressful time. You have to buy gifts, decorate, bake sweets, attend parties, and avoid talking to that one relative that always drives you crazy. But if you think you’re stressed now, wait until 2023. That’s when the Best Available Techniques Reference documents on waste incineration (WI BREF) will require stricter mercury monitoring on larger waste incinerators in ...

Dust filter damage monitoring on clean gas site - Case Study
Client: Waste incineration plant (Southwest Germany) Product: Lime dust What measuring process was used previously: There was no monitoring system available for the limestone silos. Client benefits: Increased dust concentration, due to filter leakages, used to be noticed at quite a late state because only sporadic sight checks were carried out. With the installation of "Dusty", holes in ...

Continuous monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons using automatic thermal desorpition-gas chromatography
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of over 100 different chemicals that are known to be formed typically during incomplete combustion of organic matter at high temperature. Their major sources in the atmosphere include industrial processes, vehicle exhausts, waste incinerations, and domestic heating emissions. Due to their carcinogenic/mutagenic effects. 16 PAHs are currently ...

Radiocarbon measurement of fossil CO2 emissions from waste incineration plants: A monitoring tool for CO2 trading in Denmark and Sweden
In several countries, an increasing share of renewable energy comes from waste incineration. Due to the content of fossil carbon in combustible waste, the fossil CO2 constitute a considerable share of the total CO2 emissions from combustion of municipal waste. The National governments in Denmark and Sweden have decided to include the emissions of fossil CO2 from municipal waste incineration ...

Narcotics - Saudi Arabia - Case Study
Client overview A company acting on behalf of the Saudi Arabian government advertised a tender for four incinerators that would be suitable for the incineration of drugs. Background Drug trafficking is a growing problem in the Middle East and those being used as traffickers often cross country borders by car since it has a lower cost than going by air or sea. The most common drugs passing ...

Incineration Industry: Scrubber on Sludge Incinerator Reduces Atmospheric Emissions - Case Study
Aberdeen Sewage Treatment Plant in Aberdeen, Washington started up their new Electric Infrared Incinerator in May, 1981. The sewage sludge incinerator, product of Shirco, Inc., needed a pollution control device in order to meet state, local and federal requirements for atmospheric emissions, according to the emissions test on the unit performed January, 1982. Chosen was a Model 24×24- ...

Measurement method for determination of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gas
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a measurement method for sampling and analysis of the ratio of biogenic and fossil-derived CO2 in stack gases from the combustion of mixed fossil and biogenic fuels. The measurement method was developed as a part of a project performed for Energinet.dk and the association of waste incineration and treatment plants in Denmark. The methodology for sampling and ...

Ecological risk assessment of parent and halogenated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments from an urban river in south China
In the present study, 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Σ16PAHs), including seven carcinogenic PAHs (Σ7PAHs) designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in surface sediment from an urban river (Shenzhen, south China) were measured. The concentrations of Σ16PAHs and Σ7PAHs ranged from 27.92 to 7409 ng/g and 0.53 to 2326 ng/g, respectively. Source appointments indicated that ...

Tracking chiral polychlorinated biphenyl sources near a hazardous waste incinerator: Fresh emissions or weathered revolatilization?
The Swan Hills Treatment Centre (SHTC), located in central Alberta, is the primary facility in Canada for incinerating polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Past studies have shown significant contamination by PCBs and other pollutants of the immediate surrounding region. However, it is unclear whether the major source of contamination to the region's atmosphere is historical release incidents or ...
