SUMMARY OF DATA IN CYCLONIC COMBUSTION/INCINERATION SYSTEM Feed Material Carbon Tetrachloride Carbon Tetrachloride Carbon Tetrachloride Low-Btu Gaseous Waste Industrial Wastewater dissolved solids, up to 3270 Btu/lb HHV Supplemental Contaminant 100% pure 0.5% in Hexane 1.0% in Hexane 9% H2 , 61.3% N2, 1.7% CO, 3.7% CH4 , 24.1% CO (67 Btu/SCF) 35% to 50% CURRENT STATUS Fuel Natural gas None None None <10 ppm NOx Natural gas ORE >99.9999% >99.999% >99.9999% <50 ppm CO N/A The data obtained from the two individual components of the mUltipurpose fluidized-bed/cyclonic incinerator have shown that each of the components is capable of meeting its respective performance expectations. The first-stage slopedgrid, fluidized-bed reactor has demonstrated its ability to produce agglomerates and to desorb and destroy organics from the contaminated wastes. The second-stage cyclonic incinerator has demonstrated its ability to combust and destroy practically all organic compounds. To provide further flexibility in the treatment of difficult and hazardous wastes, the two-stage incineration design will undergo a development and pilot plant demonstration with funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, GRI, IGT-SMP, and American Combustion, Inc. This integrated unit will be used to obtain performance data and design data for a commercial-sized plant. The unit would be used for a variety of applications including the cleanup of various Superfund sites. REFERENCES CITED 1. Gauger, W. Kennedy, and Srivastava, V. J.
