Title: Pcb Disposal

Abstract: PCB liquids within the 50 to 500 concentration range may be disposed of in an incinerator, a chemical waste landfill (if the liquid does not exceed 500 ppm and does not have a flash point less than 60C (140F), or an approved non-thermal process. PCB liquids in this concentration range can be destroyed in a high-efficiency boiler. Many gas/electric utilities have boilers in their generation facilities which are suitable for PCB destruction. Baltimore Gas and Electric Company and Potomac Electric Power Company have received EPA approval to burn low level PCBs. If the boiler can be operated with 3% excess oxygen when PCBs are being fired and produces no more than 50 ppm carbon monoxide within the stack when fired with gas or oil (100 ppm with coal), that utility may consider seeking EPA authorization to utilize its own facilities for PCB destruction.
