Title: The Los Alamos Super Scrub{trademark}: Supercritical carbon dioxide system utilities and consumables study

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10159784· OSTI ID:10159784

A study was undertaken to determine the electrical and other utilities usage of the Super Scrub{trademark} system. The purpose of the experiments being conducted at Los Alamos is to prove or disprove the feasibility of precision cleaning for solvent and waste reduction using supercritical carbon dioxide. An actual dollars value-versus-time has been calculated for predetermined pressures, flows, and temperatures. State-of-the-art menu- and softwaredriven instrumentation were utilized to generate exacting results. It is hoped that these results will prove of immediate benefit to those industries interested in but concerned about the cost of changing over to carbon dioxide cleaning on both small- and large-scale operations.
