A schematic diagram of the process is shown in Figure 4-1. The following unit operations were selected for Demo II testing: ammonia fluid jet cutting and washout SET™ destruction of energetics chemical oxidation of energetics hydrolysates SET™ destruction of agents chemical oxidation of agent hydrolysates shredding of metal parts and dunnage SET™ treatment of shredded metal parts and dunnage The testing was terminated by the PMACWA after two incidents occurred: (1)

Relate the characterization of SET™/dunnage reactor off-gas to produce a total facility gas effluent that meets either the EPA syngas or BIF requirements. Characterize gas, liquid, and solid process streams from the SET™ process for selected chemical constituents and physical parameters and the presence or absence of hazardous and toxic compounds, including residual agent simulants.

In any case, 1,4-dichlorobutane is probably not a very good simulant for mustard and GB. REEVALUATION OF STEPS REQUIRED FOR IMPLEMENTATION The steps required for implementation from the ACW I committee's report are reiterated below, along with a summary of the status as a result of the Demo II testing (NRC, 1999)

From page 34... ...
Demo II tests were delayed and could not be completed for the Teledyne-Commodore process because of incidents in which the immaturity of the process became apparent. For example, an exothermic reaction between ammonia vapor and M28 propellant led to an ignition incident.
