Market Trends for Commercial Hazardous Waste Incinerators
EI Digest Special Report
Description: The annual EI Digest Special Report on commercial hazardous waste incineration has been prepared since 1990. The report’s focus is to provide and analyze trends in the amount of hazardous waste being incinerated at commercial hazardous waste incineration facilities.
Background: Hazardous waste incineration’s purpose is the safe destruction of hazardous and toxic organic substances in waste. Typically the organic substances destructed in the waste have insufficient energy value to be used as hazardous waste fuels and/or are not economically viable to be otherwise reused or recycled. The destruction of these organic substances requires intensive capital investment in sophisticated incineration technology. The commercial hazardous waste incinerators are extensively regulated by federal and state environmental regulatory agencies.

The majority of waste combusted by commercial hazardous waste incinerators are generated from manufacturing processes (“manufacturing wastes”). The minority of the waste comes from remediation of contaminated sites, plant closures, and off-specification products (collectively know as “event wastes”). The annual amount that is combusted in any given year is dependent on the amount of manufacturing waste and event waste that is created.

Scope of Report: The scope of the report includes the 3 major commercial hazardous waste facilities operating in Canada and the 9 major commercial hazardous waste facilities operating in the United States. This report provides overall commercial hazardous waste incineration trends from 2000 through 2009. The delineation of the demand into categories of hazardous and nonhazardous waste begins in 2001.
Reports Purpose: This report is prepared for owners and operators of hazardous waste management incinerators and similar stakeholders that require the most accurate, current market intelligence available on the annual demand for commercial hazardous waste incineration services and available capacity to commercial incinerate the hazardous waste.
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.
