Section 219-3.5 - Design requirements

(a) Furnace design must provide for a residence time for combustion gas of at least one second at no less than 1,800° F. For a multichamber incinerator, these parameters must be met after the primary combustion chamber and the primary combustion chamber temperature must be maintained at no less than 1,400° F, or

(b) Furnace design must provide a residence time for combustion gas and a temperature which, in combination, are shown to be equivalent to subdivision (a) of this section.

(c) Auxiliary burners must be designed to provide combustion chamber temperatures as described in subdivision (a) of this section by means of automatic modulating controls.

(d) Mechanically fed incinerators must incorporate an air lock system to prevent opening the incinerator to the room environment. The volume of the loading system must be designed so as to prevent overcharging to assure complete combustion of the waste.

(e) The facility must be designed such that the flue gas temperature at the outlet of the final control device does not exceed 300° F unless a demonstration is made that an equivalent collection of condensible heavy metals and toxic organics can be achieved at a higher temperature or through the use of alternate technologies.
