1995 THIOKOL CORPORATION TREATABILITY STUDY REPORT
1.0 NAME ADDRESS AND EPA NUMBER OF FACILITY CONDUCTING STUDY
Thiokol Corporation UTD009081357
P.O. BOX 689, BRIGHAM CITY, UTAH 84302-0689
2.0 NUMBER AND TYPES OF STUDIES CONDUCTED IN 1995
One study was conducted. This was a Propellant Demil study related to the T-93 RD&D
permit. Reference TreatabiUty Study Notification letters sent to UDEQ August 10, 1993,
V300-FY94-L014 and V300-FY94-L092 dated February 15, 1994. (The latter letter
specifically references the cryogenic washout study). This study involved testing 1.3
propellant in a cutting processes using liquid nitrogen. Propellant was placed in a fixture and
slices were cut off using a liquid nitrogen knife.
Another study, for which the notification letter was sent to DEQ on the 5 April 1995, was
related to the removal and deactivation of propellant from a waste rocket motor at
M-705. The U. S. Air Force decided not to fund this project, therefore, no test was
conducted.
3.0 NAME, ADDRESS, AND EPA NUMBER FOR PERSONS FOR WHOM STUDY IS
BEING CONDUCED.
Same as above (Thiokol Corporation UTD009081357)
4.0 TOTAL QUANTITY IN STORAGE EACH DAY
In most cases a small amount of propellant, specifically produced for the tests, was taken to
the T-93 test facility each day testing was to be done. The entire amount of propellant was
typically cut up in the testing and may be removed the following day or removed the same
day and replaced with a new sample. Some of the test residue was stored for further
engineering studies. Attached is the treatability study log sheet showing the amounts of
propellant stored each day.
5.0 THE QUANTITY AND TYPES OF WASTE SUBJECTED TO TREATABILITY
STUDIES
The total quantity of waste used in the treatability study was 3.2 Kg. of 1.3 rocket propellant.
6.0 WHEN STUDY WAS CONDUCTED
July 27, 1995 - December 6, 1995
7.0 FINAL DISPOSITION OF MATERIAL TREATED AND LEFTOVER SAMPLE
Some ofthe material was sent to the Thiokol M-136 Buming Grounds for final disposal and
treatment for the D003 hazard. Some propellant ignited during the tests, and some treated
residue has been stored for further evaluation.
8.0 TREATABILITY STUDIES TO BE CONDUCTED IN 1996
The T-93 study described above will continue.
