Cost And Performance Report; Application of Thermocouple Conversion to Destroy Demolition Debris from Fort Ord
Abstract
A series of thermal treatment tests were conducted on military wood waste contaminated with lead-based paint for the U.S. Army Engineer Research & Development Center Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC/CERL) Champaign, Illinois under a contract with the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) in Port Hueneme California. The tests were designed to collect data that would facilitate the design and capital/operational cost estimates for a transportable treatment system that could process such waste on site during demolition activities at current and former military installations. The data produced from the tests facilitated the development of a design of a transportable processing system for the LBP-coated materials. The transportable processing system can process the waste for a cost of less than 1/3 the cost of land disposal of the waste designated as X008 waste (exempt household hazardous waste) and less than 1/5 the cost of land disposal if the waste originates from other than residential structures and is designated as RCRA hazardous waste.
