This report identifies equipment to promote on-site waste minimization in the automobile repair industry. It includes hazardous waste evaporation tests, chemical analyses of wastes, and develops operating characteristics for hazardous waste volume reduction equipment. The study investigates the proper and appropriate use of evaporative volume reduction equipment for the on-site evaporation of hazardous aqueous waste chemicals. These waste chemicals come from parts washing equipment commonly used in this industry. The reults show that electric resistance heat can be used to dehydrate a hazardous liquid waste to a dry solid for disposal at a Class 1 landfill. Volume reduction of up to 10 to 1 were measured. The typical evaporation rate was 3.2 gph. Costs for ranged from $0.22 to $0.32 per gallon of waste treated. The economic payback period ofr the evaporator was 12 months when processing 60 gallons of aqueous waste per month. |
