A Good read for those who are interested in the "Test Standards for Contingency Base Waste-to-Energy Technologies" Aug 2015

Right around the time "Our" Unit should have been tested...

"The overall scope of this task is to prepare universal test standards applicable to extra small (50–299 personnel [PAX]) and small (300–1999 PAX) contingency base camp sizes. Specifically, the test standards are intended for the force provider expeditionary (FPE) 150- and 600-PAX camps that are anticipated to generate 0.5 to 2 tons per day (tpd) of waste. These base camp sizes were selected based on the requirements in the US Army Force Provider Expeditionary (FPE) Capability Production Document (CPD).2 The FPE CPD establishes Threshold and Objective Requirements for solid waste management capability with individual modules (150 PAX) and collocated modules (600 PAX) as shown in Table 1."

"A challenge in evaluating the performance of WTE systems is the inherent variability of the feed materials such as those derived from typical sources of Army base wastes or municipal solid waste (MSW). Based on the results of the Phase I study, it was found that most WTE system data were collected by testing with these feed sources. There are significant economic advantages in using Army base wastes or MSW to collect operational and maintenance data. However, the disadvantages are that 1) the performance (e.g., energy recovery, emissions, fuel usage) is dependent on the contents of the feed which is largely unknown; 2) the variability in the waste could lead to false conclusions regarding typical results; and 3) comparing the performance between WTE systems is difficult if the waste feed materials are different from one test to another."
