White Paper to Justify the Use of Strip Effluent in the Defense Waste Processing Facility During Slurry Mix Evaporator Processing
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States). Savannah River National Lab. (SRNL)
At the request of Savannah River Remediation (SRR), a white paper was written to assess whether it would be acceptable to process Strip Effluent (SE) in both the Sludge Receipt and Adjustment Tank (SRAT) and Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME) in the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) for the nitric-glycolic acid flowsheet. Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) experimental data and DWPF Sludge Batch 9 (SB9) process data was reviewed, looking at batches which included Precipitate Reactor Feed Tank (PRFT) and/or Strip Effluent Feed Tank (SEFT) feeds that led to long processing times. These batches were reviewed looking for processing problems such as melter feed trips, foamovers, heating rod or steam coil fouling, missed Reduction/Oxidation (REDOX) targets, and other process anomalies.
