During June 2000, the 3H Evaporator system is scheduled to receive wash water from washing the sludge and supernate currently in Tank 40H. The supernate from Tank 40H contains concentrated supernate from Tank 38H, the 2H Evaporator drop tank. This material may contain soluble silicon from the DWPF recycle stream. Therefore, SRTC examined the contents of Tank 40H and simulated the hydroxide wash of the sludge. The results of these tests are discussed in this report.
