Thermal/hot-gas decontamination

Thermal treatment is an effective and implementable option, but one which is relatively high in cost. For example, incineration of PCB-con-taminated wastes could range from 280 to l,000/ton. The cost per ton would be even higher when the volume to be treated is small due to the high fixed cost of thermal treatment equipment. This evaluation of thermal/hot-gas decontamination of the debris assumes on-site treatment with transportable modular equipment.
