CTMA Project #: 170605, 170609

Problem:

  • Existing legacy air pollution control system on old paint line not functioning as intended.
  • Air pollution control system on newly constructed paint line uses incineration technology, with high operating costs due to fuel requirements.

Benefit:

  • Need for an alternative to incineration technologies will become critical as fuel costs increase.
  • Future restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions may require replacement of incineration systems, independent of cost.
  • Biological control technology is most cost-effective alternative.

Solution/Approach:

  • Laboratory system demonstrates high destruction efficiency
  • Performance confirmed by pilot scale system

DOD Participation:
