DETERMINING ORGANIC COMPOUND DESTRUCTION EFFICIENCY (1335 words) |
 | Destruction and removal efficiency (DRE) is the efficiency of the unit (kiln) in destruction and removal of a particular targeted organic compound. |
 | It is logically assumed that the demonstration of the destruction of 99.99% of difficult to destroy compounds would demonstrate a similar destruction ability of any compounds less difficult to destroy. |
 | To achieve this demonstration of destruction efficiency a POHC or POHCs are selected based on their difficulty to be incinerated and their presence or potential presence in the waste fuel. |
