BIF Source Testing

For years, industries have used hazardous waste incinerators and boilers to treat different types of waste, destroy toxic organics in waste, and reduce the volume of waste. Commonly called hazardous waste combustion (HWC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken an active role in monitoring HWC with the passage of rules that govern the "Burning of Hazardous Waste in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces," otherwise known as the BIF Rule.

Under the BIF Rule, facilities which operate a boiler or industrial furnace to incinerate hazardous waste must meet strict emission standards as set by the EPA. Southwestern Laboratories (SWL) specializes in conducting professional and reliable testing of emissions from various hazardous waste burning devices, in addition to providing thorough documentation of all testing results.
