INDUSTRIAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Assessed the regulatory
impacts on the Cement industry for a major cement manufacturer. The assessment
was driven by changes in the requirements for the management of Cement
Kiln Dust (CKD) and identified the regulatory incentives and roadblocks
for the beneficial reuse of CKD.
- Lead team of 4
professionals.
- Assessed regulatory
status of CKD in 12 Mid-Western states.
- Assessed the incentives
and disincentives for the beneficial reuse of CKD in 34 of the fifty
states.
- Developed an economic
model for use in determining whether to manage CKD as a waste or a resource
for beneficial reuse.
Successfully integrated
a waste audit process with an ongoing pollution prevention program for
a Fortune 50 Client. The results were used to refine a developing Environmental
Management System and to develop an Environmental Information Management
System.
- Audit process
was structured to identify pollution prevention, waste minimization
opportunities.
- Audit results
became part of the Environmental Management System database and became
the core of the information management system.
- Project was designed
to integrate with the goals and objectives of production at the plant
level.
- Project was completed
on time and within budget.
Wastewater treatment
process for slaughter waste for Vineland Live and Dressed Poultry, Vineland,
NJ. Project entailed bench-scale simulation of BOD removal by chemical
oxidation, scale-up, air-flotation, and the recycling of all solids through
a rendering process that produced protein additives for chicken feed.
- Led design team
of 3-professionals.
- Design relied
upon chemical oxidation of BOD using Chlorine Dioxide generated on site.
- Bio-solids were
processed to be suitable for rendering as a chicken feed supplement.
Spray irrigation
field for effluent from slaughterhouse waste treatment.
- Design was for
a temperate climate.
- Crops were Deciduous
Forest and Reed Canary Grass, about 20 acres of each.
- Operating costs
were recovered through sales of reed canary grass.
Physical-chemical
treatment process for Vinyl floor covering wastes.
- Project involved
bench-scale simulation and scale-up of chemical oxidation of BOD, carbon
adsorption, pH adjustment with plant waste caustics and acids, and chlorination.
- Developed full
scale design.
- Completed project
within budget.
Recycling of Industrial
Catalysts treatment chemicals for Mathey-Bishop, Inc
- Developed specifications
and marketing strategies for the wastes, generated during recovery of
precious metals from industrial catalysts.
- Centered on ferrous
aluminum sulfate compounds and developed recovery strategies for material
at a purity suitable for use as drinking water and wastewater coagulant
aids.
Metals recovery and
reuse from Industrial Sludges
- Developed conceptual
design of a beryllium recovery process.
- Created beryllium
sludge management plan for a Fortune 500, catalyst recovery firm.
