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. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken an active role in monitoring what is commonly called hazardous waste combustion or HWC, with the passage of rules that govern the "Burning of Hazardous Waste in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces," otherwise known as the BIF rule.

The BIF Rule

Under the BIF rule, facilities that operate a boiler or industrial furnace to incinerate hazardous waste must meet strict emissions standards as set by the EPA.

Element specializes in conducting professional and reliable testing of emissions from various hazardous waste burning devices, in addition to providing clients with comprehensive documentation of all results.
