Collection and Incineration of High Volume-Low Concentration Pulp Mill Noncondensible Gases, 1994 Environmental Conference Proceedings
Douglas K. Girade, Michael Crenshaw
High Volume-Low Concentration gases are collected at the Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) mill at Valdosta, Georgia. After collection and cooling, pulp mill HVLC gases are incinerated in one of two existing waste wood boilers which required no significant modifications in either equipment or operation. Successful collection of HVLC gases is dependent on having reasonable estimations of temperature and flow rates, evaluation of the streams for possible contaminants, and control of condensates generated during transport. Successful incineration of HVLC gases is dependent on judicious selection of incineration locations that can handle large volumes of HVLC gas on a continuous basis. Finally, safety must be given the highest priority in the design and operation of HVLC collection and incineration systems.
