Survey of Cleaners Usage and Methods of Waste Disposal and Reclamation at the Naval Air Rework Facilities.

Abstract

Approximately 624,725 pounds and 186,000 gallons of cleaners are used by the NARFs surveyed. The combined formulas of these cleaners contain thirteen different types of inorganic chemicals and sixty organic chemicals which are not reclaimed after application and waste treatment. To reduce pollution and simultaneously effect cost savings, recommendations are made for the replacement by the most efficient cleaner having the least pollutive components for other cleaners used for the same application.
