A Robotic Pipe-Asbestos Insulation Removal System
نویسنده
چکیده
The BOA (Big-On-Asbestos) system is a mobile pipeexternal robotic crawler used to remotely strip and bag asbestos-containing lagging and insulation materials (ACLIM) from various diameter pipes in (primarily) industrial installations. Steam and process lines within the DoE (Department of Energy) weapons complex warrant the use of a remote device due to the high labor costs and high level of radioactive contamination, making manual removal extremely costly and highly inefficient. Currently targeted facilities for demonstration and remediation are Fernald in Ohio and Oak Ridge in Tennessee.

The asbestos remediation for wrap-andcut piping in D&D applications for DoE is conservatively estimated at $300 million complex-wide. The development of an automated system to separate the insulation from the pipe, allowing for waste-volume reduction and wastesegregation is offered as a solution capable of saving DoE between 20% and 40% of the total job cost in years to come. The application to...
