As part of its contract to design, build, and operate the SRC-I Demonstration Plant in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, International Coal Refining Company (ICRC) has evaluated a zero discharge, closed-loop wastewater treatment system for the demonstration plant. This system includes extensive secondary (biotreatment) and tertiary treatment (filtration, carbon adsorption), as well as unit processes directly related to reuse. These processes are softening, reverse osmosis, and vapor compression evaporation and stabilization of zero discharge solid wastes. This report describes the preliminary process design for the vapor compression evaporation area of the zero discharge wastewater system. Three alternate feed streams to the vapor compression evaporation area are discussed. The report includes: preliminary process descriptions, process flow diagrams, utility requirements, layout sizes, major equipment lists, and estimates of operating and capital costs. Volume I of this report is a nonproprietary version that will be available to the public. Volume II contains information designated proprietary data of Resources Conservation Co., the ICRC subcontractor for the vapor compression evaporation area of the SRC-I Demonstration Plant. Volume II is subject to ''Limited Rights in Proprietary Data,'' as set forth in Contract No. DE-AC05-78-ORO-3054 between ICRC and DOE and in Subcontract No. 01-13176 between ICRC and Resources Conservation Co.
