| Popis: | Manufacture of chlorinated hydrocarbon (RCI) based products includes treating the associated waste streams. On the basis of “Best-Available-Technology, ”waste disposal is generally accomplished using vent incinerators (thermal oxidizers). Vent incineration may lead to the formation of undesirable Products of Incomplete Combustion (PIC's). The recent Boiler & Industrial Furnace (BIF) regulations have required that companies certify the ability of their Thermal Oxidizers (TOXs) to meet these new emissions∗ regulations. Earlier work has focused on identifying and investigating the chemical processes leading to PIC formation. Past work has shown that PIC formation depends greatly on local process conditions. Thus, developing and implementing a methodology to predict local conditions inside a TOX may significantly enhance the ability to predict PIC formation during incineration. The present work includes developing and applying a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based incineration model to simulate ... |
