Who Should Attend
This intensive course is intended for those professionals
involved in any aspect of incinerating or regulating the
processing of waste material in an incinerator, boiler, fired
heater, gasifier, furnace or kiln. It would be most beneficial but
not limited to:
• Engineers
• Plant Personnel
• Environmental Scientists
• Decision-makers
• Regulatory Officials
• Technologists
Those seeking pragmatic information on combustion
processes and pollutant formation mechanisms (such as
dioxins, NOX, VOC's and regulated metals) and the latest
proven equipment technologies available to achieve
successful, environmentally sound thermal processing of
hazardous or non-hazardous waste should also attend.
Description
This course presents a pragmatic approach to the incineration
and gasification/pyrolysis of all types of industrial and
municipal, hazardous and non-hazardous waste in various
types of combustion systems. You will be guided through the
details of equipment selection based on waste chemistry and
physical properties, furnace fluid mechanics, thermodynamics,
pollution formation mechanisms and control/interlock
strategies.
We will target gas, liquid and solid industrial waste incineration
as well as municipal wastes incineration in light of the strong
position that has been taken by the EU (Directive 1999/31
EC) to minimize landfill waste. Many types of equipment will
be discussed including rotary kilns, modular units, fluidized
bed, gasifiers, multiple hearths, boilers, refractory furnaces
and fired heaters. Heat/material balances and the selection of
principle organic constituents will be presented in the context
of European and U.S. environmental regulations including the
IPPC act.
