ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS

El Dorado Engineering (EDE) is a full service consulting/design firm providing solutions to environmental problems across the world. EDE specializes in environmental challenges involving explosives and pyrotechnics contamination and munitions demilitarization. Services provided by EDE include items such as:


NEWS UPDATE

EDE now builds transportable pollution control systems to compliment our transportable flashing furnace (TFF). EDE developed this novel solution as society has become more aware of the impacts and concerns related to environmental issues. This approach still allows the versatility of site operations allowed by EDE's TFF, but will also significantly reduce the environmental impacts associated with thermal processing.


Pollution Control Equipment

Pollution Control Equipment: EnglandPollution Control Equipment: Taiwan Additionally, EDE has designed and provided all types of air pollution control equipment and systems including thermal oxidrs (afterburners), cyclones, baghouses, wet and dry gas scrubbers, fans, and stacks.  Work can range from consulting up to a turnkey system with installation and startup.


AIR MODELING

Combustion Plume EDE has performed all types of air modeling for Environmental Assessments, Environmental Impact Statements, and RCRA Part B & Subpart X requirements.  Besides using public and EPA models, EDE has developed and validated a proprietary air dispersion model, the Products of Combustion/Atmospheric Dispersion (PCAD) computer model.  For the development of this model, EDE received the national Tibbets Award and was featured by the US Navy in their compilation of SBIR success stories. The PCAD model combines combustion, plume rise, and dispersion algorithms for unconfined combustion events into a single program that has been validated by real world testing.  This model is ideal for understanding open burning or open detonation of explosives and propellants, rocket motor firings, or accidental fires.

EDE has provided modeling services for NASA's Space Shuttle Booster, disposal of Pershing missile motors under the INF Treaty, as well as numerous RCRA subpart X permits and risk assessments for human health and environmental impact.  EDE has also modeled air emissions from accidental spills/fires and processes involving hazardous chemicals.

Permits

EDE prepares air and RCRA (hazardous waste) permits for sites dealing with explosives and munitions disposal as well as the manufacturing of PEP (pyrotechnics, explosives, and propellant) materials.


AIR PERMITS

EDE prepares complete air permit applications including Operating Permits (Title V) for industry.  We utilize all EPA approved modeling programs.

RCRA PERMITS

EDE prepares complete RCRA Part B hazardous waste permit applications.  We specialize in Subpart O (incineration) and Subpart X (Miscellaneous units such as open burning and contained treatment).

RISK ASSESSMENTS

EDE performs risk and environmental assessments for operations treating energetic wastes.

Compliance

EDE performs a wide variety of services to assist clients in maintaining and improving their environmental compliance profile.


FIELD SAMPLING

EDE conducts on-site sampling of soil, surface water, and air to evaluate operational impacts of industry and energetics treatment.

PLANNING

EDE prepares environmental plans and documentation such as environmental assessments, site safety and health plans, explosives safety submissions, RFI and RI/FS work plans, community relations plans, closure plans, and sampling plans.  These documents are coordinated with, and approved by, EPA, state agencies, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army Technical Center for Explosives Safety, and the Department of Defense Explosives Safety Board.

AUDITING
