Joint Service Solvent Substitution Methodology

Abstract

The Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) was tasked to develop a process that can be used to ensure successful implementation of environmentally friendly solvents. NFESC contacted and coordinated with the Navy, Army, and Air Force to develop a Joint Service Solvent Substitution Methodology." The methodology, derived in part from existing information supplied by these DOD agencies, can be used as a tool for establishing the compatibility, environmental, and cleaning criteria (referred to as the acceptance criteria) needed to obtain approval and successfully implement alternative solvents. The methodology focuses on the importance of involving stakeholders in development of acceptance criteria, test plans, and evaluation of results. This process is not intended to be used for identifying alternative solvents, but to identify the steps that are critical for gaining acceptance of alternative solvents for DOD industrial maintenance activities.
