"You should have an ultra clean system, one that Is designed to take care of spills that has no liquid escape to the environment whatsoever; that has ways of protecting you from leaks and so on:.." "Burning Is no problem. Handling liquids Is a major problem." Statement by Bill Phllibar, President of Rollins Environmental Services. Rollins Incinerates several types of hazardous waste. The reason that Rollins Is dominant In the Incineration business Is because the business In the past didn't warrant other people investing In the Industry. New PCB regulations are generating an Incineration service market. ' Other companies will be In this Industry with facilities provid ing they can get siting - that's one of the Industry's real problems at this time. There Is presently sufficient incinerator capacity to burn all of the anticipated volume of liquid PCB mixtures that will require disposal In any given year, figuring about 10 million pounds per year of liquid PCB's coming Into the waste area. Rollins present Incinerators can handle approximately 60 million pounds of liquids per year per Incinerator. With three Incinerators total capacity Is l8o million pounds. Rollins anticipates there will be about 60 million pounds per year of capacitor and from five to ten million pounds per year of non-llquld PCB material that will require Incineration after July 1, 1979 under current proposed regulations. EPA sponsored tests showed 99999* percent PCB destruction' when incinerating shredded capacitors.' Rollins has looked Into procuring a shredder which could cost about$200,000. The shredder equipment includes vacuum equipment to pull off vapors and either send them to a carbon absorption or through the Incinerator Itself. An incinerator of the size operated by Rollins could cost close to $8 million and would require 2-3 years to bring on stream allowing for equipment lead times. Rollins has four new facilities on the drawing boards in various stages of planning. Rollins also Indicates they would consider expansion of their current facilities if such action Is Justified.
