USARCENT AOR Contingency Base Waste Stream Analysis: An Analysis of Solid Waste Streams at Five Bases in the U. S. Army Central (USARCENT) Area of Responsibility

Abstract

This is the publicly releasable abridged version of the final report of the United States Army Logistics Innovation Agency (USALIA) Contingency Base Waste Stream Analysis (CBWSA) project. The project objective was to obtain waste stream data needed to inform requirements for and evaluate waste-to-energy (WTE) and other waste management systems for medium-to-large contingency bases (CBs) [>3000 residents]. The project consisted of characterization and analysis of the solid waste streams of five CBs located in the US Army Central (USARCENT) Area of Responsibility (AOR). The project s principal finding is that the solid waste stream at medium-to-large CBs has significant potential for power generation or other useful energy conversion and is likely to support a variety of waste treatment technologies.
