Evaluation of Disposal Concepts for Used Solvents at DoD Bases
Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate alternative disposal concepts for used solvent materials at Department of Defense (DOD) installations. Aerospace performed the study by developing a data base on solvent use and disposal practices through visits to a number of DOD bases and commercial facilities using solvent materials and disposal operations. Both federal and state regulatory requirements relating to the use, storage, and disposition of hazardous solvent materials were examined. The characteristics of the alternative methods of solvent use and disposal at the facilities were identified, and a method for determining potential cost savings through the use of alternative solvent disposal techniques was applied. This Final Report presents a number of recommended recycle and reuse improvements for the storage and disposal of used solvents at military installations that are more cost effective than incineration or other destructive disposal practices. This information may be of value to the future disposal management of hazardous solvent wastes at military facilities.
