Environmental Considerations for Municipal Waste Combustors

Abstract

Strict Federal regulations have been developed to minimize adverse environmental impacts associated with both new and existing municipal waste combustors (MWCs). These regulations have led to development of many air pollution control technologies including combustion modifications and add-on control devices, fabric filters, and absorption techniques. This report provides technical information on types of municipal waste combustors (MWCs) and environmental control technologies. The information will be useful to installations, Major Commands, and Corps of Engineers Districts involved in planning or designing MWC facilities.
