Incineration Master Class Series

3 Sessions: July 9th – 23rd
0.3 CEU / 3 PDH Credits

July 9
Thermal Processing of Municipal Solid Waste
Explore the current options in mass burn incineration systems, their design and operating components, their relationship to the basic characteristics of domestic solid waste, and the special characteristics of refuse derived fuel (RDF) based combustion systems.
July 16
Conversion Technologies for Municipal Solid Waste
Explore the key characteristics and differences between emerging conversion technologies and conventional mass burn and refuse-driven fuel, the associated process streams and side streams, and the options in conversion system designs now appearing in the marketplace and their applications.
July 23
Air Pollution Control for Incineration Systems
Explore the air pollution challenges, issues, and solutions relating to thermal waste processing systems. In this course we‘ll explore the relationships between the quantity and characteristics of air pollutant emissions, the chemical and physical characteristics of wastes to burn, combustor design features and operating conditions, and the control affected by air pollution control devices. Finally, we‘ll explore the incineration equipment pollutant abatement technologies with special consideration of the control of NOx, mercury, and other air toxics and dioxins.
