Abatement systems

Various waste and exhaust gas cleaning techniques are used in the foundry industry. Their principles are discussed in the BREF document for non-ferrous metal industries. The properties and emission levels of dust abatement systems are given in Table 3.32. A full discussion on the selection of the abatement technique, its applicability in the various foundry processes and the achievable emission levels is given as part of the techniques to be considered in the selection of BAT in Section 4.5.

In an economic comparison of these three common abatement systems, a 1991 EPA study (58) indicates extended absorption to be the most cost-effective method for NO removal, with selective reduction only matching its performance for small-capacity plants of about 200—250 t/d. Nonselective abatement systems were indicated to be the least cost-effective method of abatement. The results of any comparison depend on the cost of capital versus variable operating costs. A low capital cost for SCR is offset by the ammonia required to remove the NO. Higher tail gas NO...

Several changes were made in the plant operation simultaneously with the installation of the pollution abatement system resulting in a total of 2007 USD 130,000 annual savings cost in the drawing operation.

The negative-draft pollution-abatement system with condensing scrubber and mist and particulate filters effectively captured nitrosodiphenyl-amine and other fugitive emissions. 

The carbon micronization system (CMS) is used for the disposal of agent-contaminated, activated charcoal that was used as an agent filtration medium in the pollution abatement system of the plant cascade ventilation system. CMS is a system that grinds the solid carbon granules into micronized particles so that the carbon can be thermally treated in its furnace.

The Econ-Abator system is a fluidized-bed catalytic oxidation system. Catalytic fluidized beds allow for destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at lower temperatures than conventional oxidation systems (typically 500 to 750°F). The technology uses a proprietary catalyst consisting of an aluminum oxide sphere impregnated with chromium oxide.

ABSORPTION (Process). Absorption is commonly used in the process industries for separahng materials, notably a specific gas from a mixture of gases and in the production of solutions such as hydrochloric and sulfuric adds. Absorption operations are very important to many air pollution abatement systems where it is desired to remove a noxious gas, such as sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide, from an effluent gas prior to releasing the material to the atmosphere. The absorption medium is a liquid in which (1) the gas to be removed, i.e., absorbed is soluble ill the liquid, or (2) a chemical reaction takes place between the gas and the absoibing liquid. In some instances a chemical reagent is added to the absorbing liquid to increase the ability of the solvent to absorb.

Five of the stockpile sites that store (or have stored) chemical agents configured in a variety of weapons (e.g., rockets, bombs, artillery shells, mortar rounds, and mines) have used, currently use, or will use incineration as the means of disposal. Requirements for these disposal facilities include techniques for monitoring products of incomplete combustion, acid gases, and heavy metals that may elude exhaust pollution abatement systems and be emitted with exhaust gases through the common stacks. 

Exposure to vinyl chloride vapors, even in very small concentrations, causes some workers to develop liver cancer. The government requires that worker exposure to vinyl chloride monomer be no more than 1 ppm over an 8-hour period, and no more than 5 ppm for any 15-minute period. To achieve this requires extensive and expensive pollution-abatement systems. 

There are several ways to determine the incentive for pollution prevention. The choice will depend on particular circumstances that is, does a waste treatment or abatement system already exist or is a new treatment or abatement system required Three approaches to determine the incentive for pollution prevention are described below. They are the incentive based on new end-of-pipe treatment, raw material costs, and cost of manufacture. Each of these approaches is discussed in detail below.

Finding 3-5. Some of the mustard agent to be processed at the Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and the Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility is mercury-contaminated and will result in some of the activated carbon from the pollution abatement system also being contaminated with mercury. Special treatment may be required or additional challenges may be faced in disposing of this carbon.
