1996 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 1996
One study was conducted. This was a Propellant Demil study related to the T-93 RD&D
pennit. Reference Treatability Study Notification letters sent to UDEQ August 10, 1993,
V300-FY94-L014 and V300-FY94-L092 dated February 15, 1994. (The latter letter
speciflcally references the cryogenic washout study). This study involved testing 1.3
propellant in a cutting processes using liquid nitrogen. Propellant was placed in a fixmre
and slices were cut off using a liquid nitrogen knife.
3.0 NAME, ADDRESS, AND EPA NUMBER FOR PERSONS FOR WHOM STUDY IS
BEING CONDUCED.
Same as above (Thiokol Corporafion UTD009081357)
4.0 TOTAL QUANTITY IN STORAGE EACH DAY
In most cases a small amount ofpropellant, 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, the majority was taken to the M-136 facility for final treatment.
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 271 Kg. of 1.3 rocket
propellant.
6.0 WHEN STUDY WAS CONDUCTED
January 16, 1996 - Dec. 12, 1996
7.0 FINAL DISPOSITION OF MATERIAL TREATED AND LEFTOVER SAMPLE
Most all of the material was sent to the Thiokol M-136 Buming Grounds for fmal disposal
and treatment for the D003 hazard. Some treated residue (91 kg.) has been stored for
engineering evaluation.
8.0 TREATABILITY STUDIES TO BE CONDUCTED IN 1996
The T-93 study described above will continue.
