AIRCRAFT WASHRACK WASTES, THEIR CHARACTERISTICS AND TREATMENT,
Abstract
A study of aircraft washrack waste characteristics and treatment methods is presented. The first section reviews available literature including past experimental analysis. The second section surveys current washrack installations and treatment facilities at 65 Air Force bases in the United States. The final section contains an experimental analysis of the washrack wastes and the treatment facility at Portland AFB, Oregon. Oil concentration, five-day BOD., suspended solids, total solids, and effluent over-flow are used to measure the waste characteristics and flow and to determine the efficiency of a gravity oil separator at the Portland base. A testing procedure for determining oil concentrations is developed. (Author)
