If the temperature and ratios are right on the money, you end up blowing PCDD, PCDF, PCNs and PCBs out the Kiln Exhaust

Your bio suggests you know more about the chemical details than I do, but we do have

1. A trial burn done by an independent lab to make sure that under normal operating conditions, when destroying refrigerant the levels of those + other chemicals are below certain thresholds

2. automatic monitoring and shutoff mechanisms if the kiln deviates from normal conditions

I’m glad you have the safeguards. A lot of people don’t know to even be aware. Almost all the emissions of the chemicals I mentioned are from accidental creation now (mostly industrial fires and chemical waste incineration)
