Incineration in a properly designed and operated facility has been recommended as a preferred control technology for combustible organic hazardous wastes. In principle, a completely efficient incinerator converts organic hazardous material via high temperature thermal oxidation to carbon dioxide, water and low volume inert ash material. During the incineration of halogenated hazardous waste streams, significant quantities of halogen acids are also formed. In order to optimally design incinerators and to ensure that incinerators perform according to current United States Environmental Protection Agency regulations, it is critical to better understand the thermal destruction behavior of organic hazardous wastes.
