ABSTRACT

Cement LockTM Thermo Chemical Treatment Train

Full-scale Demonstration – Bayonne, NJ (2004-2007) – Passaic River, NJ

Superfund Sediment Cement LockTM Manufacturing Process (2015 Foster Wheeler Design)

Innovative sediment decontamination with beneficial use for end placement after

remedial actions at urban Superfund sites has been of global interest since 2005 when

full-scale ex-situ low and high temperature demonstrations were conducted by the US

Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 (USEPA), the New Jersey Department of

Transportation and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Several independent evaluations of

these technologies by the US Army Corps of Engineers, stakeholders, and Potentially

Responsible Party groups verified their effectiveness and the utility of the applications,

but were not comparable to other placement options at the time. The inclusion of a

thermo-chemical manufacturing process (Cement LockTM) in the 2014 USEPA Passaic

River, New Jersey Focused Feasibility Study and the selection of thermal treatment with

beneficial use in the USEPA 2013 Gowanus Canal, New York Feasibility Study are the

first times a sediment treatment technology have been considered for regional

applications at urban Superfund sediment sites of national importance compared with

Confined Aquatic Disposal, long-distance transport to a landfill and/or incineration - a

recognition that these technologies can increase the net social and environmental benefits

resulting from the action.

Compressive Strength Tests with EcoMeltTM

Feed consists of a mixture of de-watered contaminated sediments and modifiers

Main processing unit is a Rotary Kiln melter: Operating temperature of 2400 to 2600o F using

natural gas-fired burners; Feed mixture is thermo-chemically transformed to a lava-like melt;

Organic contaminants are disassociated and destroyed; Inorganic contaminants (heavy metals) are

immobilized and locked within the glassy product matrix; Product is quenched and recovered in a

water bath, then dried and finely ground and used as a partial replacement for Portland cement

(EcoMelt)TM

Flue-gases are further treated in a secondary combustion chamber to ensure destruction of POHCs

Down-stream Air Pollution Control (APC) train controls emissions of hazardous air pollutants such

as HCl, SOx, NOx, fine particulate, and volatile metals

Sediment Treatment Efficiency

Sustainability Profile:

• Each ton of Ecomelt produced eliminates 1 ton of

CO2 produced by cement manufacturing industry

• Sharply reduces GHG emissions for long distance

transport to landfill

• Uses natural gas for electricity generation

• Eliminates mining and transport of raw materials

for cement production

• Additional offsets may be obtained for other

contaminants such as dioxins on a case-by case

basis

• Processing Costs are significantly below industry norms for thermal treatment

• Costs are off-set by revenues from sale of marketable beneficial use products

• Confirmed Market for EcoMeltTM (Letter of intent to purchase with US Concrete)

• Commercial Scale Plant is feasible for given conditions:

– Minimum dedication of 300,000 to 400,000 cubic yards of “in-situ” contaminated

sediments with a processing fee of $350 to $400 per “in-situ” ton.

– 100,000 to 125,000 tons/year processed (one treatment train) + O2 enhancement

• USEPA projections for disposal costs for out-of-region treatment include more than $650 per

ton for long haul transportation and treatment/landfill disposition of contaminated sediments

Project Cost

NY/NJ Urban Regional Sediment Processing Facility:

The NY/NJ Harbor Perfect Storm

• 6 Mega-site complex Superfund sediment clean ups

all on the same critical path and timelines that will

require treatment of highly contaminated sediments

with a portion that will require thermal treatment

• Co-locate (with other processes) an urban regional

ex-situ thermo-chemical processing facility within

the NY/NJ corridor for treatment and beneficial use

applications - reducing corporate liability compared

to long-haul distance transportation and landfill
