Defense waste cyclone incinerator demonstration program: April-September 1979

Efforts to demonstrate the versatility of the Mound cyclone incinerator have continued during the last half of FY-1979. Design changes have been made or are in progress to correct known system problems. Work is being directed toward successfully demonstrating liquid burning and continuous feed burning. Preliminary test burning of liquid feed, scintillation vials, and LSA-type shredded solid waste have proved very encouraging. A preliminary conceptual design for a scintillation vial feed system has been prepared. Basic design criteria for a cyclone incinerator system to burn in a batch type mode have been published
