  The assholes over in Vermont wanted IP to install an electrostatic precipitator to our stack just for our tire burn test in November of 06. They aren't cheap. The one quoted for our powerhouse checked in at at $1-3 million US. With our scrubber set up, we get a lot of salt cake as well as flyash

  Tyre burn test? Do you work at a cement plant? I didn't know power stations could be co-fired with tyres!

  well, it's not technically a power station. I work at a paper mill. We use the Kraft process which requires an onsite recovery boiler. In our particular powerhouse, we have a power boiler (Which provides power for the mill and we sell it back to National Grid) and the recovery boiler which relates to pulp production.
Right now, our power boiler uses #6 fuel oil which is very expensive to get and ship from Albany... we also use woodchips/bark. The tire test was to see if the tire chips could be burned in our power boiler.

  In Maastricht, there's a cement mill which burns waste (also common house waste) to fire up it's kilns. As they're neither a waste treatment plant nor a power station, the have very lax emession norms and can do everything god forbade with waste...

  we have several oversites here in the United States. Our departments have to report to the New York Department Of Environmental Conservation, Vermont Department of Conservation, and the US Environmental Protection Agency... oh it's a nightmare if you get a leak or some weird upset condition.
