A -- PYROLYSIS-LIKE AND DESTRUCTIVE DISTILLATION-LIKE TECHNOLOGIES Contact: Ms. Joanne Wortman, 516-231-6800. RFEI - PYROLYSIS: The Northeast Waste Management Enterprise (NEWME) is a partnership formed by Brookhaven National laboratory (BNL) and the Long Island Research Institute (LIRI). As part of its contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), NEWME anticipates sponsoring field demonsrations on innovative waste management technologies. We are interested in pyrolysis-like distillation-like technologies that would be relevant to the DOE waste management and environmental clean up programs. Pyrolysis is the chemical decomposition of a substance by direct or indirect heat and can be exothermic or endothermic and may include the recovery of products from the process, whereas, destructive distillation is the decomposition is the organic material by application of indirect heat in the absence of oygen/air followed by recovery of products from the endothermic process. The DOE has many co-mingled wastes for which no satisfactory waste management technologies are available. NEWME is also interested in beneficial uses of various waste pooducts from these pyrolytic processes. NEWME is requesting an expression of interest in a field demonstration on the part of a company or individual with a pyrolysis technology that suits certain desire conditions including the following: Portable (easily assembled and disassembled); Simplicity of operation; Capable of processing 1-5 tons/day; Applicable to a wide variety of wastes (including sludges and soils containing mixtures of organic and inorganic substances, some or all of which may be hazardous) and compatible with environmental requirements; New applications of commercially available technologies are encouraged (perhaps something utilized now, but with some modifications could beome useful to DOE needs). Technologies are encouraged that require additional technical informaton which could be provided through demonstration. Interested parties to participate on a cost-share basis (e.g. direct funds, equipment, in-kind services, etc.) Working models (either pilot or bench scale) will be used in field demonstrations. All submittals will be treated confidentially, and the proprietary nature of each will be respected.
