The New Waste Calcining Facility (NWCF) located at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant (ICPP) converts radioactive liquid solutions to granular solids in fluidized-bed calcination process. these very erosive solids are dilute-phase pneumatically transported to stainless steel bins for interim storage. The entire NWCF pneumatic transport system is located in highly radioactive cells so the system must be very reliable and free from erosion failures. The NWCF pneumatic transport system uses blinded tees, blinded laterals, wear pads and a specially designed fines metering valve to control the erosion in the system. The NWCF has processed and transported to interim storage approximately 1,350 cubic meters of calcine since initial start-up in 1982. This paper presents the operating history including data on erosion rates measured at various locations at NWCF.
