Survey of JP-4 Vapor Incinerator at Ellington AFB, Texas.

Abstract

During the incinerator emission test program, eight loading operations were observed and tested. Five truck loadings and three tank transfers occurred during the test period. Mass emission rates for NOX, CO, and total hydrocarbons(THC) were determined and found to be well below all national standards for similar processes. Combustion efficiencies from these eight events ranged from 99.67 to 99.84% and destruction efficiencies ranged from 95.9 to 99.5%. Outlet concentrations of NOX, 02, CO, CO2, and THC were monitored continuously. Inlet hydrocarbon samples were collected in bags and analyzed onsite on a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. (Author)
