Waste Destruction
Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-029931
1. With respect to fluorinated GHGs, the expiration of a fluorinated GHG to the destruction efficiency actually achieved. Such destruction does not result in a commercially useful end product.
2. Expiration of a controlled substance to the destruction efficiency actually achieved, unless considered completely destroyed as defined in this section. Such destruction does not result in a commercially useful end product and uses one of the following controlled processes approved by the Parties to the Protocol:(1) Liquid injection incineration;(2) Reactor cracking;(3) Gaseous/fume oxidation;(4) Rotary kiln incineration;(5) Cement kiln;(6) Radio frequency plasma; or(7) Municipal waste incinerators only for the destruction of foams.
3. With respect to landfills and manure management, the combustion of methane in any on-site or off-site combustion technology. Destroyed methane includes, but is not limited to, methane combusted by flaring, methane destroyed by thermal oxidation, methane combusted for use in on-site energy or heat production technologies, methane that is conveyed through pipelines (including natural gas pipelines) for off-site combustion, and methane that is collected for any other on-site or off-site use as a fuel.
4. Expiration of a controlled substance to the destruction efficiency actually achieved, unless considered completely destroyed as defined in this section. Such destruction might result in a commercially useful end product but such usefulness would be secondary to the act of destruction. Destruction must be achieved using one of the controlled processes approved by the Parties and listed in the definition of destruction in § 82.3.
5. Expiration of a controlled substance to the destruction and removal efficiency actually achieved, unless considered completely destroyed as defined in this section. Such destruction might result in a commercially useful end product, but such usefulness would be secondary to the act of destruction. Destruction must be achieved using one of the following controlled processes approved by the Parties to the Protocol: (1) Liquid injection incineration; (2) Reactor cracking; (3) Gaseous/fume oxidation; (4) Rotary kiln incineration; (5) Cement kiln; (6) Radio frequency plasma; (7) Municipal waste incinerators (only for the destruction of foams); (8) Nitrogen plasma arc; (9) Portable plasma arc; (10) Argon plasma arc; (11) Chemical reaction with hydrogen and carbon dioxide; (12) Inductively coupled radio frequency plasma; (13) Microwave plasma; (14) Porous thermal reactor; (15) Gas phase catalytic de-halogenation; (16) Superheated steam reactor; or (17) Thermal reaction with methane.
