Title: Piping report. Phase I, for residual energy application program at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Piketon, Ohio

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6233679

A waste heat recovery system for the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (GDP) in Piketon, Ohio is under development. This project includes the design and capital cost estimate for utilizing large quantities of waste heat presently dissipated by the cooling towers. The amount of heat available is equivalent to 1200 MW per day. This project will use part of the waste heat for the Pike County Joint Vocational School, 3 miles north of the plant site. The design includes provisions for the heating of the existing 90,000-square-foot school, proposed expansion, and a future 3-acre teaching greenhouse. A portion of the remainder of the waste energy will be used to heat a proposed greenhouse complex. The balance will be used as a heat source for heat pumps to provide steam for various proposed process industries. The Department of Enegy specifies that the recirculating cooling water remain within the GDP battery limits. Therefore, separate water loops for the offsite waste heat piping complex must be provided. The project description, scope of work and phase description, alternates considered, design criteria, and drawing list are included.
