Controlling combustion-source emissions at Air Force sites with a new filter concept. Phase 1. Final technical report, May-November 1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6943057
; ; ;
The U.S. Air Force employs many combustion sources at its facilities, including boilers, diesel engines, turbines, incinerators, and motor vehicles, that produce exhaust gases containing undesirable components. Components of concern include nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), PM-10 particulate matter, sulfur dioxide (SO,), and a long list of compounds considered toxic by nature. Recently, Sorbent Technologies Corporation (Sorbtech) developed a new filter technology for the Air Force to control emissions from jet engine test cells. The objective of the project described in this report was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of other possible Air Force applications of the new filter technology. The project was conducted at Sorbtech's laboratories in Ohio and at McClellan AFB in California. Of more than 10 combustion waste-gas streams at McClellan AFB, seven were characterized and three were selected for initial study by Sorbtech. A special filter-test apparatus was designed, constructed, evaluated in the laboratory. It was then installed and employed at McClellan AFB to treat waste-gas slipstreams in the three applications. The applications were: (1) a large, stationary diesel engine; (2) a natural-gas-fired burner-heater; and (3) a mobile diesel generator.
