This article looks at the deployment of partnership-as-governance in the area of EU and Irish waste management and incineration policy. Looking at the specific case of plans to locate a municipal incinerator at Poolbeg in Dublin, the key argument offered is that institutional arrangements in this instance fail to address fundamental issues of power inequalities. As a result, concertation actual...

An existing municipal waste incinerator with recipro­ cating grate system was renovated as necessary to improve overall performance and to comply with air and water emissions regulations. The goal of the project was to use the latest technology in a manner which provided the best match between hardware and available resources while meeting a number of system requirements. This paper contains a ...

The 3M Company incinerates chemical wastes from manufacturing operations in a 23 M kcal/hr (90 MM Btu/hr) rotary kiln incinerator which has air pollution control equipment. This paper deals with the essential features which have resulted in this successful incineration operation for industrial wastes. These features include waste materials handling considerations, design aspects, and main­ tena...

A simple theoretical model was developed to assess the contribution of the pathogens and group D pharmaceutically active waste to the toxicity of the fire plume from an accidental fire in the stored material. The method was applied to stored waste at an authorised incinerator site and the study showed the additional hazard of the pathogen biohazard and pharmaceutically active material to be neg...

healthcare waste is a by-product of healthcare. poor management of these wastes exposes the community to infections, toxic effects and injuries. the purpose of this study was to investigation the qualities and quantities characteristics of infectious and domestic wastes of dehgolan clinics in kurdistan province. for this purpose health care centers was identify including hospitals, clinics, inf...

The authors are to be commended for their work. They have pointed out areas requiring investigation that, when completed, will enable the design of incinerators to be upgraded so that particulate emis­ sions from the furnace can be minimized. This is a valuable contribution to the incinerator field. In arriving at a mean emission factor of 24 lb per ton, the authors admit to biasing the data in...

Piyungan landfill is the biggest in Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which receives municipal solid waste (MSW) from two districts and a city, while its designed service time has been over faces operational obstacles. Meanwhile, volume MSW grows rapidly exceeds reduction rate their sources. The difficulty finding new area reason why appropriate technological alternatives management are ...

The design of industrial and municipal incinerators is based on combustion and heat considerationsl The procedures are given for calculating the quantities of air, flue gas, water and heat, as well as the gas temper­ atures. To assist the reader, a municipal incinerator is used as an example. The relation between refuse analysis and flue gas analysis is explained. Sections on dry and wet dust c...
