A paper first presented at the Dioxin 2000 Symposium in Monterey, California, discussing catalytic dioxin/furan removal from flue gas streams.

This paper describes the current status of air pollution control at the municipal waste incinerator of IVRO, Roeselare, Belgium, using the REMEDIA D/F catalytic filter system for dioxin/furan destruction and particulate control.

This paper details the full-scale field experiences of a catalytic filtration system that both destroys dioxins/furans and removes particulate to levels significantly lower than the regulatory limit.

A paper first presented at the Dioxin 2000 Symposium in Monterey, California, discussing test and performance in a medical waste incinerator.

A paper first presented at the international conference on incineration and thermal treatment technologies, discussing the catalytic filter system at a medical waste incineration plant.

A paper first presented at the 21st International Symposium on Halogenated Environmental Organic Pollutants and POPs, discussing removal of PCDD/PCDF and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

The local government of a city in the Fukui prefecture (Japan) needed to revamp its MSW incineration facility to simplify operations and reduce costs. A key factor for the revamped facility was a potential replacement for its existing pollution control unit, which used a fixed-bed activated carbon with ancillary fire protection system to reduce post-incineration dioxin/furan emissions.

The construction firm A&E was competing for a new MSW incineration facility at Okayama Prefecture (Japan). One of the facility’s core needs was to meet regulations for post-incineration emissions. As part of the bidding process, A&E committed to finding the best-available technologies to meet the project’s various technical scopes, including controlling post-combustion dioxin/furan emissions, all while minimizing the initial investment and ongoing operating costs.

At an energy to waste facility in Kochi, Japan, power was generated by incinerating municipal waste using a stoker furnace, which incorporated pollution control units at the downstream. After heat recovery, the flue gas was further cooled down to 150 °C for the effective carbon adsorption of dioxin/furan. The gas was then passed through a filter baghouse to remove particulates. Finally, the gas was reheated to 210 °C for tail-end NOx reduction by an SCR tower.

A municipal solid waste incineration plant in Hamura, Tokyo, was using powder-activated carbon injection to control dioxin/ furan emission. The plant management needed a solution to two simultaneous challenges: Increasing the facility’s waste incineration capacity by 14 % while mitigating the surrounding neighborhood’s concerns of high dioxin/furan emission.
