Market Trends for Hazardous Waste Fuel Usage
At Commercial Boilers & Industrial Furnaces 2000 - 2009
EI Digest Special Report
Description: The annual EI Digest Special Report on commercial hazardous waste boiler and industrial furnaces has been prepared since 1990. The report’s focus is to provide and analyze trends in the amount of hazardous waste fuel usage at commercial hazardous waste boiler and industrial furnaces facilities.
Background: Hazardous waste boiler and industrial furnace’s purpose is the safe utilization of hazardous and toxic organic substances energy content. Typically the organic substances utilized have more energy value than hazardous waste utilized at incinerators and/or are not economically attractive to be otherwise reused or recycled. The use of hazardous waste fuels requires intensive capital investment in sophisticated boiler and industrial furnace technology. The commercial hazardous waste boilers and industrial furnaces are extensively regulated by federal and state environmental regulatory agencies.

The majority of waste utilized by commercial hazardous waste boilers and industrial furnaces are generated from manufacturing processes (“manufacturing wastes”). Very little waste comes from remediation of contaminated sites, plant closures, and off-specification products (collectively know as “event wastes”). The annual amount that is utilized in any given year is dependent on the availability of fuel quality manufacturing waste and the need for fuel by the commercial boilers and industrial furnaces.

Scope of Report: The scope of the report includes the 17 major commercial hazardous waste facilities operating in the United States. The major commercial hazardous waste boilers and industrial furnaces included in the scope of this report include two acid regeneration plants, an aggregate plant, and fourteen cement plants. This report provides overall commercial hazardous waste boiler and industrial furnace trends from 2000 through 2009. The delineation of the demand into categories of hazardous and nonhazardous waste begins in 2001.
Principal Author: Mr. Cary Perket has over 30 years experience in hazardous waste management. Mr. Perket background includes regulatory positions with State of Minnesota and Wisconsin hazardous waste programs, consultant to manufacturers on hazardous waste management, management of superfund and other remediation projects, and the permitting of waste management facilities. He has been involved with every EI Digest report on boilers and industrial furnaces since the EI Digest was started in 1989.
Reports Purpose: This report is prepared for owners and operators of hazardous waste management boilers and industrial furnaces and similar stakeholders that require the most accurate, current market intelligence available on the annual demand for commercial hazardous waste boiler and industrial furnace services and available capacity to commercial incinerate the hazardous waste.
