OSTI ID:6616040
The wastewater treatment facilities for the SRC-1 demonstration plant in Newman, Kentucky were designed and cost estimated by the Rust Engineering Company in October, 1981 (revised March, 1982). The basis of design has changed since that original, or baseline, estimate. The new treatment scheme differs in two major ways. First, the main process waste stream in pre-treated in a solvent extraction procedure to remove phenol. Second, the final effluent will be discharged to the Green River, rather than recycled to the plant. In addition, laboratory treatability testing conducted subsequent to the Rust baseline report has changed the sizing criteria for various unit processes. The treatment facilities are subdivided into five areas. These divisions are process related, and are defined as primary, secondary, tertiary, sludge and landfill. For the most part, the equipment in a given process area is grouped together. That is, the divisions are also geographical. Any exceptions are due either to the SRC plant layout or to hydraulic considerations. The plant is designed to treat not only the normal process flows, but also all stormwater which has become contaminated. Either installed spares or parallel treatment trains are provided for virtually all equipment. All pumps are sized for the maximum hydraulic conditions. Volumes 1 and 2 contain the design information, such as process descriptions, drawings, and equipment data sheets. Volume 3 contains the capital and operating cost estimates.
