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.

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.

An incineration plant in Pennsylvania uses a rotary kiln incinerator with a downstream pollution control system to treat medical waste. In 2009, the EPA introduced a new emission guideline (EGs) for rotary kiln incinerators. In October 2014, the EGs was enforced at the plant, whose existing pollution control system complied with all components of the EGs except dioxin/ furans emission (D/F).

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.

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.

福井县（日本）当地政府需要对其生活垃圾焚烧厂进行改 造，以简化操作并降低成本。改造工厂的关键因素是可以替 换其现有污染控制单元（现有单元使用带辅助消防系统的活 性炭固定床），以减少焚烧后二噁英/呋喃排放量。

位于东京羽村市的某城市生活垃圾焚烧厂使用粉状活性炭喷射来控制二噁英/呋喃排放。工厂管理层亟需一种解决方案来处理以下两种同时存在的挑战：使该厂的垃圾焚烧能力增加14%，同时缓解周边居民对二噁英/呋喃排放量高的担忧。
