Abstract:

For the past 8 years the Air Force Research Laboratory at Tyndall Air Force Base has contracted hydrothermal oxidation projects with General Atomics. These projects were initially focused on large rocket motor disposal, then more generally on energetics, DOD wastes, and most recently on resource recovery. Each project has documentation tailored to the specific project requirements and objectives however, none of the documentation fully conveyed the technology evolution which occurred or communicated the rationale for that evolution. That is the purpose of this report.
