PCDD/F Emission Control By Intermediate Dust Removal At Medical Waste Incinerators

Department of Chemical Engineering, CHIS-2, Free University of Brussels (VUB), Brussels, Belgium

A 1 tonne day^-1 medical incinerator that meets the new national emission standards for PCDD/F of less than 0.1 ng TEQm^-3 was installed in Eger, Hungary in January 1994. The unit is batch operated and is charged once or twice a day. It has an intermediate dust control filter between a pyrolysis chamber and an afterburner. Dry lime is inserted before this filter. Two polishing filters using zeolite and coke, respectively, follow a waste heat boiler. © 1996 ISWA
