9. DEVELOPMENT OF TECHMOLOGICAL PROJECT OF MASS DISPOSAL OF
DRUMS CONTAINING ESPECIALLY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, SAFE
ELIMINATION OF CONTENT, COMPACTING AND TRANSPORTATION OF
DRUMS TO A DROP-OFF STATION IN ARKHANGELSK.
9.1. Main technological solutions
In developing the main technology solutions we take into account the need for further replication
of the technology to other former sites of the Russian Defense Ministry located on Alexander
Island of Franz Josef Land archipelago after testing the mass disposal of drums. Since the results
of fieldwork on Alexandra Land showed [68] that the main pollutants are making fuel and
lubricant residuals, then the term "especially hazardous substances" will mean not only the liquid
waste of hazard class 1 and 2, but also spent oils, fuel and other technical liquids.
In this connection the technology project contains information on the key technical solutions that
reflect two trends:
mass disposal of drums containing remains of particularly dangerous substances;
mass disposal of drums with remains of substances of hazard class 3-4 by the example of spent
oils and technical liquids.
The main technological solution is to develop a mobile unit in modular design to allow using the
modules in a single technological process system, and for the organization of separate stages of
production. This technical solution will allow the initial stages of the elimination in the vicinity
of hazardous waste areas not having developed infrastructure (energy, transport, etc.), followed
by the final stages in the developed industrial areas.
Provides for the use of four modules.
Module of identification and sorting (MIS)
For the mass disposal of drums containing the remains of particularly dangerous substances, the
MIS in its composition should include a laboratory certified and licensed for thestudy of
substances of hazard class 1 and 2, placed in a half-timbered house.
The module also includes a forklift truck and transport vehicles for transportation of containers
from the place of the previous storage to the laboratory or subsequent process modules.
In the laboratory, the samples of eliminated waste are selected for their identification or
confirmation of the qualitative and quantitative composition. In addition, the lab controls solid,
liquid and gaseous wastes to assess the correctness of implemented process and environmental
safety.
Equipment for express analysis that provides fuel and lubricant identification by indicators of
density, viscosity, flash point, as well as qualitative responses can be used instead the certified
laboratory for the mass disposal of drums with the remnants of spent oils and technical liquids
(eg, by the qualitative reactions of organochlorine compounds with copper according to flame
color).
Gas emissions are controlled by using portable gas analyzers, such as hydrocarbon gas analyzer
GIAM - 315.
Module of waste extraction and drum decontamination
