Abstract

Recent resource recovery facility stack tests have increased the available pool of data on emissions from these facilities. This has led to more accurate predictions of emissions from proposed facilities. The source, type, and rate of emissions presented are based upon a review of the literature, theoretical approaches, stack test data from existing facilities, permit levels of other facilities, and discussions with equipment manufacturers. The pollutants selected for study are those regulated by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) regulations and other pollutants of concern. The pollutants studied are particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, nonmethane hydrocarbons, hydrogen sulfide, reduced sulfide, reduced sulfur compounds, total reduced sulfur, lead, mercury, beryllium, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, chromium +6, copper, manganese, nickel, vanadium, zinc, hydrogen chloride, fluorides, sulfuric acid mist, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, vinyl chloride, dioxins, furans, formaldehyde, and asbestos.
