Normally, permits would be written to prevent the facility from burning these compounds, based on the above data, and any other compounds that are more difficult to burn. EPA currently uses two different hierarchies for this purpose: one based on heat of combustion, and the other based on experimentally observed thermal degradation rates under starved-air conditions. Rhone-Poulenc The next set of data are from the Rhone-Poulenc facility in Carson, California. This facility is similar to the Rhone-Poulenc facility in Martinez, California (as well as facilities in Baytown, Texas and Hammond, Indiana) that has applied to burn hazardous waste in lieu of some of the fuel that is required to heat the furnace. These results are presented in Table 4. 6 |
