Disadvantages of Combustion
- No Halogen Containing Hydrocarbons (No CL or F)
- Exhaust Contains CO2 and Small Amounts of NOx and
CO
- Equipment Must be Set in Non-Classified Area
- Requires Fuel

Advantages of Combustion
- High Rate of Degassing
- No Waste Left Behind
- Simple Operation
- Highly Portable
- Reliable
- High Rate of VOC Removal
- Easily Monitored for Efficiency Without Expensive and Hard to
