LIQUID INJECTION INCINERATION TECHNOLOGY Liquid injection (LI) is not currently available for dioxin treatment, but it has been used aboard ships for ocean-based incineration of Agent Orange. It is also employed in many industrial and manufacturing sectors for treatment of hazardous organic and inorganic wastes. As shown in figure 2-3, the typical LI incinerator consists of a burner, two combustion chambers (primary and secondary), a quench chamber, a scrubber, and a stack. Vertical LI incinerators are preferred for treating liquid waste rich in organics and salts (and therefore ash) because the incinerator unit can be used as its own stack to facilitate the handling of generated ash. Portions of the vertical LI unit can also be used as a secondary combustion chamber. The horizontally shaped LI units are connected to a tall stack and are preferred for treating liquid waste that generates less ash. In both systems, the use of external waste storage and blending tanks helps maintain the waste in a homogeneous form and at a steady flow.37 Some of the limitations that must be considered before applying LI incineration to dioxin destruction include the following: ● ● ● LI systems are applicable only to combustible low-viscosity liquids and slurries that can be pumped; waste must be atomized prior to injection into the combustor; and particle size is critical because burners are susceptible to clogging at the nozzles.3

Dioxins

Treatment Technologies

When cleanup began at the Times Beach, Missouri Superfund site in the 1980s, rotary kiln incineration was the only fully demonstrated, commercially available and permitted technology for cleaning up dioxin in soil. Since then, additional remediation technologies for the cleanup of dioxin-contaminated soil and sediments have been researched and developed, but several of the accepted techniques still rely on thermal destruction, which is energy intensive. Heat-based destruction techniques for treating dioxin-contaminated soil and debris include incineration, thermal desorption, and vitrification. Incineration at temperatures above 1200°C is considered the most effective way of destroying dioxins. Thermal desorption, which operates at lower temperature range to vaporize dioxins, is also commonly used. A large-scale cleanup was completed in 2018 at the Bien Hoa Airport in Danang, Vietnam where nearly 95,000 m3 were excavated and treated with thermal desorption (USAID, 2018). Vitrification is largely a stabilization technique that uses very high temperatures to melt contaminated soil. When subsequently cooled, it forms a glassy mass that traps contaminants and reduces their mobility.

Does $49,500,000 buy a Scientist ???

 FUSRAP "Testing" only contract bid solicitation over $49,500,000

@DawnChapmanSTL @HawleyMO @EPAregion7 @EPA dyk current FUSRAP "Testing" only contract bid solicitation over $49,500,000 ? 

i've seen the posts and comments from many StLouis people wondering if the nuclear contamination spread in the last floods #BridgetonLandfill #Coldwatercreek, in the basements, backyards, and surrounding areas. . This prompted me to review a couple of the low cost ways to test 

for radiation. Here is the ways I would test for radiation myself and not rely on other sources. Without getting all scientific in my explanation here is the 2 systems. 

radiation testing devices. 1 natural and 1 mechanical. 

A- The Mechanical devices utilize the Arduino system and can relay the findings over the air to a command center that logs and compiles the data into useable reports. These mini test stations and systems can be set up independently or in group settings. 

B- The Natural testing device is a plant that can be placed in an area where suspected nuclear radiation is present. The nuclear radiation will affect the plant in different ways and cause amoralities in the plants appearance, growth, flower, and reproduction systems 

Both of the testing systems will work in water, soil, and air. 

The costs of these systems is well under the $70,000 handheld spectrum analyzer system that will provide on the spot readings from soil and water samples. @EPAregion7 has one of these testers and a local salesperson

has offered in the past to demonstrate this tool in action. With the tool for sale, rent or lease. 

Hello @HawleyMO @RepAnnWagner @DawnChapmanSTL @stlpublicradio @Teamsaintlouis3 @StLouisAmerican @tonymess 

$49,500,000 Just for Testing. cost-plus task order W912P921F0260 

Here is My Warning. Let me get some testing tools and I will test this whole god blessed city and north county. I WILL PROVE HOW MUCH NUCLEAR CONTAMINATION IS EVERYWHERE. 

Everyone else wants to pussyfoot around. I will PROVE IT WITH EPA recognized devices and THEN CLEAN IT UP. 

@threadreaderapp unroll please and thankyou 

I just learned who holds that $49.5M contract.

Oak Ridge Transports First Waste Shipment to WIPP Under New Contract

OAK RIDGE, Tenn. – The Transuranic Waste Processing Center (TWPC) recently shipped its first load of transuranic (TRU) waste for disposal since coming under the management of Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) cleanup contractor UCOR.

TWPC work was recently moved under the Oak Ridge Reservation contract that continues for the next decade, ensuring appropriate resources and expertise are available to successfully address the remaining challenging TRU waste at Oak Ridge.

Employees at the facility are addressing a stockpile of legacy defense-related research waste. The most recent shipment included 35 drums and weighed nearly 80,000 pounds. After a two-day trip, the load arrived safely at EM’s Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico, for permanent disposal.

To complete the shipment, personnel prepared and loaded the waste containers over two days. A 10-person TWPC team worked closely with WIPP’s Central Characterization Program mobile load team.

“The process went like clockwork,” said TWPC Area Project Manager Randy Fadeley. “Everyone on the team was dedicated to getting this job done safely and on time.”


NEW VIDEO ALERT: Watch this brief video on the Transuranic Waste Processing Center's first shipment of transuranic waste to EM's Waste Isolation Pilot Plant since coming under the management of Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management cleanup contractor UCOR. In this photo, Oak Ridge workers load waste drums into one of three shipping casks to prepare for the recent shipment, which included 35 drums. The shipment was safely delivered to the underground waste repository in New Mexico.

Water Pollution Cleanup with Hemp

 OHIO 🚨 Woman finds all her chickens dead 10 miles from East Palestine, Ohio
#OhioTrainDisaster #OhioRiver



There are solutions to pollution. The Ohio Train Derailment and the toxins that are being reported on the Ohio River can be cleaned up. Here are examples of removing chemicals from water with modified hemp core.

Why is it so hard to work with the EPA?  I've been trying for years? Their silence is deafening.


 


 

We are The Pollution Solution The Goal of the Pollution Solution is to turn toxins and contaminants into $$ cash to offset the cost of remediation of cleanup projects which will allow for future use of the property that will not pose a health danger to People, Animals, and the Ecosystem.
