THE NOCHAR PETROBOND® ABSORBENT POLYMER TRITIATED OIL SOLIDIFICATION DEMONSTRATION AT MOUND

The DOE Office of Science and Technology, Decontamination and Decommissioning Focus Area is sponsoring the Large Scale Technology Demonstration and Deployment Project (LSDDP) at the DOE Mound Site near Dayton, Ohio. The goals of the LSDDP are to: • Demonstrate existing developed technologies, that are unproven and/or unknown with respect to Tritium Decontamination and Decommissioning (DD long-term storage, incineration, and solidification using current technologies have been considered for mixed waste oil disposition in the baseline project. Even though incineration has been used in the past, none of these technologies were found to be viable at this time. The innovative technology that was demonstrated in the LSDDP is a polymer solidifying agent offered by the NOCHAR ® Corporation of Indianapolis, IN. Using experience gained in major commercial oil spill operations, NOCHAR ® has designed a product, Petrobond ® , which
