Automated Paint Application,
Containment, and Treatment System
AmDyne supported a program undertaken by the Naval Surface Warfare
Center Carderock Division, Environmental Quality Department
to develop an Automated Paint Application, Containment, and
Treatment System (APACTS) to support the fleet pollution control
efforts. The Navy developed this system to manage the process
of painting fleet equipment. AmDyne supported the Navy in the
development and testing of this concept by providing engineering
and technical support to the following areas:Containment System,
Paint Dispersion Dynamics, Manipulator Coordination, Manipulator
Integration, Manipulation Improvements, Quantitative Nozzle
Motion Measurements, and System Integration. |

Barstow Air Treatment Facility
AmDyne is providing project support to design a new, upgraded
Air Pollution Control System (APCS). Due to failure of the UV
wash process and UV scrubber, ManTech is investigating utilizing
a Biofilter system to augment the granulated activated carbon
system. The biofiltraton system consists of an inlet damper
to accept varying quantities of paint booth air to be treated.
The first treatment stage is a biotrickling filter and biofilter
system consisting of 2 modules. This system is capable of handling
up to 10,000 cfm. The biotrickling scrubber removes significant
portions of the water-soluble compounds. The less soluble compounds
are then treated in the compost-based biofilter. The conditioned
airstream form the biotrickling filter passes upward through
each compost bed, which act as an attachment site for rich microbial
fauna. The microorganisms utilize them as a food source, converting
them into carbon dioxide and water vapor. |

Hazardous Material Minimization (HAZMIN)
Program Support
AmDyne provided Pollution Prevention support to U.S. Navy afloat
and ashore assets to meet U.S. and International regulations
and policies. Support included:
- Hazardous Material Minimization
- Solid Waste and Oily Waste Management
- Sewage and Graywater Treatment
- Thermal Destruction and Plasma Arc Systems
- In-Service Engineering

Waste Water Treatment Studies
AmDyne provided technical support to the Navy for the
development and evaluation of numerous treatment systems for
both ship-fit and ashore. AmDyne provided support for the pier-side
evaluation of graywater membrane treatment system, shipboard
evaluations of membrane oily water polishing system, the development
of shipboard wastewater membrane filtration processes and liquid
waste thermal destruction process. |

Pollution Prevention in Weapon System
Acquisitions
AmDyne provided Pollution Prevention (P2) support to the U.S.
Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM), Environmental Technology
Team. The effort was focused on assisting AMCOM in their P2
requirements in current and future weapon system design, production,
operations, and maintenance. The scope of work included:
- Life cycle systems engineering analysis
- Identify environmentally benign manufacturing processes
- Develop recycling and disposal procedures
- Identify toxic pollutant alternatives
- Conduct material and equipment test and evaluation
- Conduct systems performance evaluations
