Source test data from 22 industrial facilities that have used TDF are presented: 3 <br /> kilns (2 cement and 1 lime) and 19 boilers (utility, pulp and paper, and general industrial <br /> applications). In general, the results indicate that properly designed existing solid fuel <br /> combustors can supplement their normal fuels (coal, wood, and various combinations of <br /> coal, wood, oil, coke, and sludge) with 10 to 20% TDF and still satisfy environmental <br /> compliance emissions limits. Furthermore, results from a dedicated tires-to-energy (100% <br /> TDF) facility indicate that it is possible to have emissions much lower than produced by <br /> existing solid-fuel-fired boilers (on a heat input basis), when properly designed and the <br /> facility is controlled. <br /> iii <br />
