One of the principal objectives of the DM100 melter tests was to demonstrate that the LAW Sub-Envelope C2 feeds with ± 15% variations in the amounts of waste simulant are suitable for large-scale tests on the LAW Pilot melter. The other principle objective for the DM100 tests was to determine the relative effects of sugar versus waste organics on glass redox state, NOx emissions, sulfur emissions, sulfur retention in the glass, secondary sulfate layer formation, and glass-melt foaming. Additional objectives included measurement of the feed rheological properties and collection of melter emissions data. Screening tests are conducted at the DM100 scale in order to identify and correct potential problems before testing at the larger scale LAW Pilot melter. Testing goals were met in that the results of the DM100 melter test resulted in selection of LAW Sub-Envelope C2 feed suitable for Pilot Melter testing.
