Abstract
Thermal systems that convert waste into energy generate emissions in the form of gas, liquid, and solid. The primary air emissions of waste gasification and pyrolysis plants are nitrogen oxide, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and particulate matter. Liquid emissions are in the form of wastewater and solid emissions refer to char and bottom ash. This chapter presents the emissions of waste gasification and pyrolysis plants in the context of federal regulation standards and compares environmental impact of thermal treatment of waste to the other waste practices in the waste management hierarchy.
