Description:
This report evaluates the ability of the Chemical Waste Management POWWER System to reduce the volume of aqueous waste and catalytically oxidize volatile contaminants. his evaluation is based on treatment performance and cost data from the Superfund Innovative Technology Evaluation (SITE) Demonstration and several case studies. vaporation and catalytic oxidation are the core processes of this technology. he system consists of 1) an evaporator, 2) a catalytic oxidizer, 3) a scrubber that removes acid gases produced during oxidation, and 4) a condenser that condenses the vapor steam leaving the scrubber. esults of the SITE demonstration of the POWWER system pilot-plant indicate that VOCs, SVOCs, ammonia and cyanide, all of which were present in the feed waste, were not detected in the product condensate. he noncondensable vent gas emissions for CO, SO2, and NOx met the regulatory requirements for the demonstration site.
