Do you know of Emissions for the
Hospital Waste Incinerator?
Question regarding air permits for incinerators. In South Carolina we are being told by DHEC and USEPA that we will need to add emission & temperature monitoring as well as applying for a Air Permit. Do you know of an exemption? Do you have testing information on the hospital waste incinerator.
Answer:
Thank you for contacting us! We typically urge customers to check with their local agencies and governments to verify regulations that need to be met. If you are being told by those agencies in your location that you need the following items, it is probably best to follow their guidelines to help you stay in compliance.
For additional information regarding air permits, you can check out the EPA Air Permit Programs Page. Here you can find information on why these air permits for incinerators are required and how they can be obtained in your location.
Hospital Waste Incinerator Testing
We do have emission testing information available for the hospital waste incinerator . This information can be found on on our Hospital Waste Incinerator Emissions Page. This chart shows information based on tests done by the Industrial Research Institute.
The testing done by this institute is designed to measure the amount of concentrated gases found during a single incineration cycle. The amounts found in this test are then compared to the EPA limits for each gas.
Testing for gases such as O2, CO, NOx and So2 all show that the incinerator emissions were way below the limit set by the EPA.
Hospital waste incinerators are designed for the safe and effective disposal of items prone to containing infectious or pathological waste. They have been used by hospitals around the country for safe disposal of materials used in their facility.
