PPG Inception Meeting Colombo, Sri Lanka 5-10 August 2013 Trial burn with PCB contaminated soil (PCB 1-2%) Trial burn with PCB oil (PCB 20%) Trial burn with PCB soil and capacitors (PCB 10%) DE / TEq test trial burn with PCB soil and capacitors (PCB 10%)

Slide 13

PPG Inception Meeting Colombo, Sri Lanka 5-10 August 2013 Pre-treatment (including meshing, shredding, feeding) may be an important source of release. It may also represent a risk for workers (exposure to chemicals and other accidents) Pre-treatment equipment and operations must be properly designed to avoid human exposute and prevent release of toxic wate

Slide 14

PPG Inception Meeting Colombo, Sri Lanka 5-10 August 2013 No matter how good is the downstream disposal technology If the pre-treatment is poorly managed, it will result in the release of POPs (low DE)

Slide 15
