directing key components of the testing program. Dr. James Warner of the Engineering Research
Center of Colorado State University will conduct portions of the technical work and will report
through Dr. Bland for the DOE reporting. A brief description of the key personnel and their
project responsibilities is provided below.
Dr. Alan E. Bland, PhD. Dr. Bland joined WRI in August of 1991, where he is part of the
senior research staff in the Office of Engineering, responsible for solid waste research and
development activities. Dr. Bland has over 15 years of experience with ash management issues
for advanced coal combustion/desulfurization technology ashes. Current ash management
projects include synthetic aggregate production from ash, the production of ash-based flowable
fills, PFA ash use in soil stabilization and cement-treated base applications for DOE and
PacifiCorp; circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) ash pelletizing studies for a number of
industrial and cogeneration clients; and incinerator ash studies for confidential industrial clients.
Dr. Bland is Project Manager for the DOE-sponsored development of SYNAGTM, a synthetic
aggregate for construction applications. In addition, Dr. Bland is the Project Manager for the
evaluation of market potential and use options for pressurized fluidized bed combustion ashes, co-
sponsored by U.S. DOE, the Electric Power Research Institute and Foster Wheeler International.
Dr. Bland has authored or co-authored over 50 publications, many of which have been presented
at national and international conferences. Dr. Bland serves on the steering committee of the
International Conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion and is Topic Chairman of the
Environmental Issues for that Conference. Dr. Bland is a member of SME/AIME and the
American Chemical Society.
Dr. Bland will be responsible for the overall project testing by WRI.
Dr. Terry H. Brown, Ph.D. Dr. Brown is a Senior Research Scientist, Office of Engineering at
the Western Research Institute, responsible for research and development programs in the area of
waste remediation, soil washing, waste stabilization and disposal, and solution chemistry aspects
of waste management. Dr. Brown has been the Project Manager on projects involving the
physical and chemical treatment of hazardous waste contaminated soils as part of a development
program for a soil washing technology termed Haz-Flote, which is capable of treating both
organic and inorganic contaminated soils. Dr. Brown was the Project Manager for a project with
Public Service of Colorado that addresses the disposal and liner compatibility of a number of clean
coal technology (CCT) ashes from the Arapahoe No. 4 Clean Coal Technology demonstration
project. Dr. Brown is currently involved in the solution chemistry and phase reaction chemistry
for both conventional and FBC ashes. Dr. Brown worked on the preliminary testing of flowable
fill materials from FBC ashes.
Dr. Brown has authored numerous papers and reports associated with ash and waste
management, many of which have been presented to national and international conferences.
Dr. Brown will be involved in the conduct, and interpretation of test data. Dr. Brown will report
through Dr. A. E. Bland for this work.
