Operational Test Report for Field Demonstration Testing of the Mobile Alkaline Cleaner Recycler.
Abstract
An automated crossflow filtration process using a ceramic membrane was evaluated for recycling spent alkaline cleaners generated from closed cabinet aqueous parts washers. Two field tests conducted at Naval Air Weapons Station Point Mugu, California, and the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, Port Hueneme, California, demonstrated an 80% removal of accumulated oil and grease from spent cleaners after recycling. The Mobile Alkaline Cleaner Recycler also demonstrated an 88% volumetric reduction of hazardous waste. The economics of the process is dependent on the generation of spent alkaline cleaner, local hazardous waste disposal costs, and alkaline cleaner replacement costs.
