Thermal destructive technologies

References 124 through 130 provide additional information on thermal destructive technologies, design and scale-up principles, as well as operational guidance. [Pg.487]

Infrared thermal destruction technology is a thermal processing system that uses electrically powered silicon carbide rods to heat organic wastes to combustible temperatures. Any remaining combustibles are incinerated in an afterburner. One configuration made by ECOVA Corporation consists of four components65 ... [Pg.744]

The Pyretron thermal destruction technology is a burner system designed to be used in conjunction with any conventional transportable or fixed rotary kiln incinerator and is intended to increase the efficiency of conventional incineration. The commercially available technology controls the heat input during incineration by controlling excess oxygen available to oxidize hazardous waste. [Pg.347]

Thermal processes like pyrolysis use heat to increase the volatility (separation) to burn, decompose, or detonate (destruction) or to melt (immobilization) contaminants in soil. Separation technologies include thermal desorption and hot gas decontamination. Destruction technologies include incineration, open bum/open detonation, and pyrolysis. Vitrification is used to immobilize inorganic compounds and to destroy some organic materials. In contrast, pyrolysis transforms... [Pg.157]

The vendor claims that it is notably faster than bioremediation and provides a more permanent solution than stabilization technologies. It is also claimed that this technology is significantly less expensive than incineration and thermal destruction. [Pg.367]

The IT Corporation thermal destruction unit is a mobile unit that uses infrared incineration technology. The main objective of this process is to transform the feedstock into another form (an ash acceptable for delisting) while assuring safe discharge of exhaust gas products to the environment. The unit is capable of on-site remediation of wastes and soils contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other organics. This technology is based on a conveyor belt furnace process.

PEAT, Inc., has developed the thermal destruction and recovery (TDR) system for the treatment of medical, hazardous, and radioactive wastes. An electronic plasma heating system is used to break down wastes into three phases. The ceramic, metal, and off-gas phases can aU be used as commercial products. The technology has been evaluated in treatability studies on infectious medical waste. Department of Defense (DOD) ammunition and energetic materials, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) weapon components, ash, electronic scrap, batteries, asbestos, and organic compounds. [Pg.854]

According to the vendor, the HT-6 technology is not a destruction process but a separation process technology. The process cleans the soil and concentrates the organics into an organic oil phase. For refinery wastes, coal tar wastes, and creosote, this oil is directly suitable for commercial reuse as a refinery feedstock. The high-temperature thermal distillation technology is not currently commercially available. [Pg.957]

In a compendium of technologies used in the treatment of hazardous waste (42) technologies are categorized into physical treatment, chemical treatment, biological processes, thermal destruction, and fixation/stabilization processes. Separation technologies are contained entirely within the physical treatment processes section. Those technologies addressed are ... [Pg.17]

Five separate destruction technologies were tested for the destruction of waste HMX and PBX high explosives (HE). Since incineration is the baseline technology, a series of tests was conducted at a commercial two-stage, fixed-hearth incinerator. Destruction by molten salt injection was tested at LLNL. The last three destruction techniques are based on a base hydrolysis (BH) explosive pretreatment to produce a nonexplosive solution for further treatment. Three secondary treatments for BH were tested, including hydrothermal, biodegradation, and thermal decomposition. BH and hydrothermal techniques were tested at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), and LLNL tested biological and thermal decomposition. [Pg.210]
