LSW-500 disposal of Air Force liquid wastes. Final report, Apr 1973--Jun 1974. [Use of municipal and petroleum, oil, and lubricant wastes as fuel]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7349953
The results of a feasibility investigation on thermal degradation of selected USAF liquid wastes in a fluidized bed incineration system are presented. Aircraft washrack wastes, paint stripping wastes, herbicide orange, petroleum, oil and lubricant wastes (POL), municipal garbage and sewage sludge were used for testing in Combustion Power Company's 3-foot diameter (LSW-500) fluid bed combustor. Results show that with proper liquid waste injection locations and procedures POL wastes or shredded and air classified municipal garbage can be used as fuel to dispose of non-fuel liquid wastes without requiring supplemental fuel. When using solid waste as fuel to dispose of liquid waste or when using limestone to control HCl an additional particulate emission control device downstream of the first and second stage inertial system will be required. Combustion Power Company is presently developing a dry scrubber for this purpose. (GRA)
