Conference On Incineration And Thermal Treatment Technologies Scheduled For May
Pittsburgh, PA — The Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) and the University of Maryland will host the 26th International Conference on Incineration and Thermal Treatment Technologies (IT3) May 14-18 in Phoenix, Ariz.
IT3 provides a forum for information on incineration and thermal treatment technologies, addresses methods of safely managing waste streams appropriate for thermal treatment technologies, and evaluates the costs, risks, and impacts of incineration and thermal treatment. Practical applications of technical and scientific advances will be presented by experts involved with thermal treatment technologies for the management of radioactive wastes, hazardous chemical wastes, mixed wastes, munitions, medical/pharmaceutical wastes, municipal wastes, and industrial wastes.
Technical sessions at the conference include: Emissions Characteristics; Process Improvements Using Laboratory and Pilot Scale Facility; HWC MACT: Regulatory Panel Discussion; Pollutant Formation and Control; Off-Gas Treatment; Waste to Energy Opportunities; Management of Waste; International Thermal Treatment Directives; Site Remediation; Alternatives to Incineration; Process Optimization Using Modeling and Simulation; Biowastes Treatment; Stabilization of Radioactive Wastes; Gasification, Pyrolysis and Plasma Arc; Performance Testing; Dealing with Particulate Matter; and Risk Assessment.
The conference also includes a vendor exhibition, and tours to BHP Copper's Pinto Valley Operations and Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC. A basic industry tutorial is also available, as well as an advanced tutorial, which includes presentations on plasma technologies; mercury and volatile organic compound (VOC) issues; the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Human Health Risk Assessment Protocol for Hazardous Waste Combustors; and Low Temperature Desorption of Soils and Other Media.
