COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF APRIL 13,1995 PSA#1324Brookhaven National Laboratory, Department of Advance Technology,
Building 703, Upton, NY 11973-5000 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. Point of Contact: Ms. Joanne Wortman,
