Reducing Hazardous Emissions at Anniston Army Depot

Abstract

Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) performs depot level maintenance for combat tanks, tracked combat vehicles, small arms weapons and components, and optical and electronic fire control systems. ANAD has a large production capability, including painting, depainting, surface cleaning, and plating, which makes ANAD a major emitter of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). In order to reduce hazardous emissions at ANAD and to address environmental regulations and mandates, ARL and the NDCEE directly supported efforts at ANAD through the following tasks: Task 0512: Dem/Val of HAP-Free Chemical Depainting Materials and Processes Thrust Area. Task 0527-A2: HAP-Free Vapor Degreasing for Critical Weapon Systems Applications.
