Description |
The objective of the proposed research program is to develop methods for (1) recovering potentially non-buoyant ISB residues through innovative surface and sub-surface collection means; and (2) recovering buoyant residues, including those attached to sorbent agents that were intentionally added to the residue to prevent subsequent residue sinking. The goals of the program are to:
- Refine and develop ideas for preventing ISB residues from sinking and for collecting both buoyant and non-buoyant ISB residues, based on earlier studies.
- Test the ideas experimentally by conducting a laboratory study involving small-scale residue recovery experiments.
- Design an experimental program to test the concepts at Ohmsett using real residues.
- Conduct experiments at Ohmsett to evaluate the collection/recovery techniques.
- Make recommendations on the best techniques to consider for further evaluation at future burns.
The goals will be accomplished by conducting experiments at the SL Ross laboratory in Ottawa, ON, at the Fire Training Facility at Prudhoe Bay, AK and at the Ohmsett facility.
