Description:
This report details the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation of the Eco Logic International's gas-phase chemical reduction process, with an emphasis on their thermal desorption unit. he Eco Logic process employs a high temperature reactor filled with hydrogen as a means to destroy chlorinated organic wastes, such as PCBS The process is designed around a reduction reaction, which reduces the organic wastes into a high-BTU gas product. he thermal desorption unit is designed to work in conjunction with the Eco Logic Reactor system. t is intended to process soils and sludges, desorbing-the organic contaminants into a hydrogen gas stream for subsequent treatment and destruction within the Reactor System. he demonstration program was conducted at the Middleground Island Landfill in Bay City, Michigan during October to December, 1992. wo test runs were conducted on the thermal desorption unit, operating with the Reactor System. oils contaminated with PCBs were fed into the unit, and the Destruction and Removal Efficiencies (DRES) for the combined thermal desorption unit and reactor system were calculated at 99.9999%. he report provides details of the test program, summaries of analytical tests conducted on a variety of process streams, process economics, and case study information.
