Abstract
Abstract This is the first of two papers which report the results of a study of off-normal emissions from operation of a liquid injection hazardous waste incinerator. Reported in this paper are the results of off-normal emission frequency and duration assessment using probabilistic methods. The emissions from the incinerator are grouped into three categories: principal organic hazardous constituents (POHCs), particulates, and acid gases. The Integrated Reliability and Risk Analysis System (IRRAS) software is used for fault tree quantification and uncertainty analysis. The mean off-normal emission frequencies of each category are assessed as 0.24, 0.15 and 0.85 times per year for POHCs, particulates and acid gases respectively, and off-normal durations are modeled as log-normally distributed. The results of off-normal emission intensity and total off-normal emissions are reported in the second paper.
