The Process Development Unit (PDU) is being remodeled by incorporation of appropriate subsystems to permit operation in continuous process mode. The PDU will be operated for a period of time sufficient to demonstrate process viability. The subcontract to Alon Processing Inc. was completed some six weeks behind schedule but all ''Alonized'' pipe, fittings, and vessels have now been returned to us. This material has been assembled and mounted on the support structure. A major part of the electrical work including assembly of relay and circuit breaker enclosures, installation of screwcover wireway, and installation of large transformers has been completed. Installation of thermocouples and electrical heating elements by Battelle-Northwest's crafts personnel is completed and final wiring is nearly complete. Installation of high-temperature insulation (Kaowool) and a final waterproof outer covering is 90% complete. Test operation of individual equipment items is proceeding as rapidly as these become operational.
