Abstract

The high-temperature combustion of synthetic ester turbine engine lubricants has been performed by diluting the lubricant 5, 15, or 25% in diesel fuel and burning the mixture in a pilot-scale boiler facility. The effluent gas from this combustion system was carefully monitored for the formation of a potent neurotoxin, trimethylolpropane phosphate (TMPP). Although TMPP was not detected in the gaseous effluent, elevated levels of the neurotoxin were found in scrapings from the inside of the boiler system. Because of the extreme toxicity of this compound, significant dermal exposure could be a potential risk to incinerator operation and maintenance personnel.
