US Navy Awards ARI Technologies $6.2 Million Contract for Design/Build/Test Services

December 20, 1999 - Kent, WA —

The Naval Facilities Engineering Services issued ARI a 3-phase contract to design, fabricate, and test a new mobile system incorporating a scale increase, design improvements and modifications compared to previous available existing systems. The first phase includes development of design criteria, preliminary system engineering and the detailed design. The second phase is the fabrication of the new system. Under the third phase, ARI is required to provide all labor, materials, equipment, permits, and management to successfully complete the testing and validation of the new equipment. The system will undergo stringent validation testing pursuant to TSCA for destruction of PCBs and factors such as waste throughput rates, cost performance analysis and system performance will be evaluated.

ARI uses a high temperature process that destroys asbestos through mineralogical conversion. The process results in 100% destruction of asbestos and produces a product that is inert, non-toxic, unregulated, and suitable for construction applications. The technology is also being applied to hazardous wastes and is permitted by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to treat PCBs. The technology is being further developed for immobilization of metals and radionuclides in wastes.
