Integrated Waste Treatment Unit (IWTU) Input Coal Analyses and Off-Gass Filter (OGF) Content Analyses

Abstract

The authors would like to thank CWI (CH2M-WG Idaho) personnel for sampling the Fluidized Bed Steam Reformer (FBSR) feedstock supersacks of coal. The authors would like to thank Ronnie Rutherford of the Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) Analytic R&D Programs and Materials Characterization for performing the coal heat treatments and sieve analyses and Whitney Riley and David Best of the Process Science Analytic Laboratory (PSAL) for the analyses of the coal ash. The authors would also like to thank Tommy B. Edwards of the Environmental & Chemical Process Technology (E&CPT) for the statistical analysis of the coal particle size data.The coal feedstock analyses were supported by the Department of Energy -Environmental Management (DOE-EM) Operation Support Team (OST). The OST serves the interests of EM-1 and EM-20/21, and performs an advisory role to EM-1 and EM-20/21. Specifically, EM-1 requested that the OST work with the Idaho site whenever possible to provide assistance regarding technical issues that are in the knowledge base of the team members. Work was performed under Contract No.
