The Portable Unit has successfully demonstrated its capability for thermal treatment of hazardous wastes at the source of the material. This type of on-site treatment would eliminate the need of transportation of hazardous materials to a distant site of stationary treatment equipment. The Portable Unit also has demonstrated that it can be moved to a site and be ready to treat material very quickly, a capability which will be very important in operation of full scale equipment. The on-site treatment of the Times Beach dioxin contaminated soil resulted in no dioxin detected in any of the incinerator effluent streams. The product of the testing activity was soil with no detectable level of dioxin. Dioxin contaminated soil thermally treated in this manner will yield soil which can be disposed as non-hazardous material. The decontamination was performed without exceeding RCRA requirements for particulate emissions and with dioxin destruction efficiencies surpassing the required percentage. The overall conclusion was that the infrared incinerator can very effectively remove dioxin from contaminated...
