Ocean City Research Corp. (OCRC) supported the U.S. Army’s efforts to eliminate their chemical and biological warfare agent stockpiles. OCRC conducted a Market Survey on Carbon Regeneration for CBDCOM. The survey focused on carbon regeneration and other potential alternative methods for the handling of the filter carbon waste stream generated at the various DEMIL/stockpile activities throughout the country. This waste stream presented numerous challenges because of the nature of the contaminants, chemical warfare agents.
The results of the survey show that at the present time there is no suitable alternative method to handle this waste stream. This situation is certain to change though, with the conversion from specifications to performance standards and the innovation of waste treatment technologies
