The DOE Office of Industrial Programs, through the Idaho Operations Office, is sponsoring a program to develop and eventually demonstrate a wet oxidation system for energy production from water borne industrial waste materials and/or low-grade fuels for use in industrial processes. This program is considered a natural extension of previous DOE studies which have evaluated energy production through the wet oxidation of coal and peat. While the results of these studies were favorable for large-scale power generation, the Office of Industrial Programs believes that wet oxidation also has the potential to displace prime fuels on a smaller scale through the treatment of industrial wastes or other low-grade fuels. This report summarizes the feasibility of this program.
