- An industry wants to locate a chemical plant in your city, they expect to generate 25,000 gal/hr of waste containing 800 mg/L of BOD wastes (reactive) and 15,000 mg/L of inert (non-reactive) materials. The industry wants to recycle 300 gal/min (containing 20 mg/L BOD and 400 mg/L of salts) of discharge (effluent) from the municipal wastewater treatment plant to dilute their waste to 6,000 mg/L of inerts prior to pre-treating the wastes on their own property.

On one of the flyers (printedon paper) they said:Plastic bag does not emit toxic fumes when properly incinerated. When burned in waste-to energy plants, the resulting by-products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The bag is inert in landfills, when it does not contribute to leaching, bacterial or explosive gas problems. The bag photo-degrades in sunlight to the point that normal environmental factors of wind and rain will cause it to break into very small pieces.

The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?arrow_forward
