Verifying the height of the discharge chimney for emissions resulting from hazardous waste incineration installations

Abstract

The paper compares the results obtained by applying three calculation methodologies for the height of the chimney of a hazardous waste installation. Thermal waste treatment processes are a feasible option after recovery (collection, sorting, recycling) and prior to controlled disposal. Monitoring data at a hazardous waste incineration plant made it possible to calculate three heights of the incinerator emission network. The incineration plant is thus operated in such a way that the emissions of the harmful substances of the chimney are in conformity with the VLE values transposed into the national legislation by Law no. 278/2013 regarding industrial emissions, Annex 6. Three methodologies are used to determine the height of the chimney: according to the Technical Instructions for Air Quality Control - "TA Luft", according to "Arrêté du 25/01/91 relatif aux incinération de résidus urbains" and according to "RS 814.318." 142.1 Ordonnance sur la l'air (Opair) ".
