Safe incinerator operations are critical for plant operations. Incinerator operators
should strive to meet or exceed all applicable permit requirements to protect human
health and the environment, maintain a safe operating environment for plant per-
sonnel and the incineration-related equipment, and operate the incineration system
in a cost-effective manner. Operators must understand how the incinerator operates,
take special care in operating and maintaining the system, and be able to respond
appropriately to minor changes as well as emergency situations. The operators must
also be familiar with the individual components of the incinerator system. Therefore,
wastewater treatment plant management and operating personnel must ensure that

• Incinerators are operated in a manner that ensures complete combustion of
wastewater solids.

• An efficient air pollution control system is used to minimize particulate matter
and emissions of other regulated pollutants.

• The incinerator and all component parts are properly operated and main-
tained in accordance with industry standards.

• Safe operating procedures are established for the entire incineration system.
