Abstract

DK-TEKNIK (Danish Boiler Owners' Association) has under the research programme of the Danish Ministry of Energy investigated emissions of dioxins from straw burning and waste oil combustion. The test programme included two different combustion methods for straw alone. The combustion of waste oil was carried out using a vaporizing burner. DK-TEKNIK has furthermore investigated the dioxin emission from a pulverized coal fired plant with and without partre-placement of coal with straw. The dioxin emissions expressed in ng/GJ are low in comparison with those obtained from the incineration of municipal solid waste. The results indicated a dependence between combustion quality and dioxin emission, but this could not be enlarged upon owing to the low number of samples taken during this investigation.
