Emerging Technology for the Control of Emissions from Existing Army Boilers and Incinerators.
Abstract
The overall objective of this study was to provide information on emerging technology for controlling gaseous and particulate emissions from Army boilers and incinerators to achieve compliance with the regulations of various federal, state, and local agencies. From the information gathered, it was apparent that there is adequate technology for particulate control at Army installations; therefore, in selecting the most promising emerging systems for further study, emphasis was placed on methods for controlling sulfur dioxide emissions. An economic analysis of the five emerging systems analyzed was conducted on the basis that the entire emission control process would be located on the facility site. However, since three of the five systems can be arranged to permit the regeneration portion of the process to be located elsewhere and to be independently owned, the economic analysis also considered that modification of each affected system. To identify promising new systems and methods for controlling emissions, a methodology for evaluating them was developed. This methodology is designed for use by the Army technical staff to make a preliminary decision about whether the emission control system in question deserves further consideration. Cost data for the emerging systems were collected during the period of April through December 1975. (Author)
