Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are emitted from high temperature combustion processes such as municipal waste incinerators, hazardous waste incinerators, medical waste incinerators, and secondary metal processing plants. Due to their extreme toxicity, stringent regulations on PCDD/Fs emissions have been in effect around the world since the early 1990s. W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. developed a catalytic filter system in 1997 that can effectively remove and destroy PCDD/Fs in the industrial flue gases. The REMEDIATM Catalytic Filter System has been installed in various industrial facilities around the world. The dioxin emission measurements in these plants achieve more than 98% PCDD/Fs removal efficiencies and reach the European standard. In this paper, three case studies will be presented on the performance of the REMEDIA Catalytic Filter System at municipal, medical, and hazardous waste incinerators. Three cases in the paper demonstrate the efficiency and results.
