Solid waste sampling and distribution project: Sampling report {number_sign}4
The US Department of Energy (DOE) has established a Waste Management Program within the Office of Fossil Energy. A key goal of this program is to ensure that waste management issues do not become obstacles to the commercialization of advanced coal utilization technologies. In achieving this goal, the Waste Management Program identifies various emerging coal utilization technologies and performs comprehensive characterizations of the waste streams and products. The characterizations include engineering assessments to define waste streams of interest/potential concern, field studies to collect samples of the waste, and complete chemical analysis of the collected samples. The primary objectives of the site selection and sampling effort are as follows. Survey sites at which advanced fossil energy combustion technologies are being operated, and identify five sites for sampling, giving priority to DOE Clean Coal Technology Program Sites. Identify candidate solid waste streams likely to present disposal problems and prioritize them for sampling at selected sites. Contact site personnel for site access, sample the streams representatively and document them according to established methodology and known process conditions. Distribute the samples to DOE`s Morgantown Energy Technology Center or their representatives for analysis and report on the site visit. Several technologies have been tentatively selected for comprehensive waste characterization. One of those technologies is the SO{sub x}-NO{sub x}-RO{sub x} Box (SNRB) Flue Gas Cleanup process. On December 16, 1992 samples were collected to characterize solid waste streams. This document provides background information on the site and describes sampling activities performed at this facility.
