RCRA Trial burn considerations

The new Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste incineration regulations have ushered in a new era which will result in a better understanding of the significant combustion design parameters relative to hazardous waste destruction. This paper discusses some of the important issues involved with the RCRA trial burn program, RCRA trial burn database information, and three RCRA research trial burn programs. These programs have made significant contributions to an increased understanding of important incineration destruction and emission mechanisms.
