Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sludge-only process simulations of the Sludge Receipt and Adjustment Tank (SRAT) and the Slurry Mix Evaporator (SME) cycle were conducted for the two most likely scenarios for Sludge Batch 2 (Macrobatch 3). The two scenarios are a roughly 50:50 blend of Tank 8 and Tank 40 washed sludge and Tank 40 washed sludge by itself. The testing used new simulants of Tank 8 and Tank 40 washed sludge prepared at the University of South Carolina. The washing endpoint was about 0.5 moles sodium per liter supernate. This report summarizes both the simulant preparation and process simulation activities. The rheology work requested in the Task Plan will be documented in a separate report. Two scoping SRAT simulations were conducted for Tank 40 sludge. This was followed by a complete SRAT and SME simulation using Sludge Batch 1B acid stoichiometry (137.5 percent). Four scoping SRAT simulations were conducted for the Tank 8/40 blend. Three complete SRAT and SME simulations using blended sludge were then performed. One was at the recommended acid stoichiometry of 125 percent. The second used identical acid stoichiometry with HM levels of noble metals. The final run was at worst case noble metals and assumed complete transfer of the Formic Acid Feed Tank. Testing was completed without any major incidents. Hydrogen flow rates in excess of the design bases (0.65 lbs./hr for the SRAT and 0.23 lbs./hr for the SME) are marked in bold. Full details on the noble metals concentrations can be found in the body of the report.

Book excerpt: Simulant flowsheet runs have been performed by the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) - Immobilization Technology Section for every sludge batch that has been qualified for Defense Waste Processing Facility processing. The next sludge batch to be qualified is Sludge Batch 3. The simulant Chemical Process Cell runs for SB3 were designed to meet the requirements of Technical Task Request HLW/DWPF/TTR-02-0016. Due to the many non-traditional components believed to be in SB3, SRTC has focused significant effort on studies to understand the behavior of SB3 and to evaluate any necessary process changes. The simulant flowsheet runs for the chemical process cell were divided into phases. A phased approach was used to obtain a better understanding about the non-traditional components and to allow flexibility to respond to characterization results as they became available.

Book excerpt: The Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) - Immobilization Technology Section (ITS) was requested to perform simulant bench-scale flowsheet studies to qualify Sludge Batch 3 (SB3), the next sludge batch to be processed at the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). Simulant flowsheet runs have been performed for every sludge batch that has been qualified for DWPF processing to date. SB3 will consist primarily of Tank 7 sludge, but will also contain transfers from other tanks and processes at the SRS and other materials not considered typical for DWPF processing. Projections also indicate that SB3 may contain higher than previously observed levels of noble metals. Over the last year, SRTC has focused significant effort on studies to understand the behavior of SB3 and to evaluate any necessary process changes.

Book excerpt: The Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF) will transition from Sludge Batch 3 (SB3) processing to Sludge Batch 4 (SB4) processing in early fiscal year 2007. Tests were conducted using non-radioactive simulants of the expected SB4 composition to determine the impact of varying the acid stoichiometry during the Sludge Receipt and Adjustment Tank (SRAT) process. The work was conducted to meet the Technical Task Request (TTR) HLW/DWPF/TTR-2004-0031 and followed the guidelines of a Task Technical and Quality Assurance Plan (TT & QAP). The flowsheet studies are performed to evaluate the potential chemical processing issues, hydrogen generation rates, and process slurry rheological properties as a function of acid stoichiometry. Initial SB4 flowsheet studies were conducted to guide decisions during the sludge batch preparation process. These studies were conducted with the estimated SB4 composition at the time of the study. The composition has changed slightly since these studies were completed due to changes in the sludges blended to prepare SB4 and the estimated SB3 heel mass. The following TTR requirements were addressed in this testing: (1) Hydrogen and nitrous oxide generation rates as a function of acid stoichiometry; (2) Acid quantities and processing times required for mercury removal; (3) Acid quantities and processing times required for nitrite destruction; and (4) Impact of SB4 composition (in particular, oxalate, manganese, nickel, mercury, and aluminum) on DWPF processing (i.e. acid addition strategy, foaming, hydrogen generation, REDOX control, rheology, etc.).
