Hanford tank waste simulants specification and their applicability for the retrieval, pretreatment, and vitrification processes

“…Long-dktance waste transport is of concern at all the DOE waste sites, but particularly so at Hanford where some wastes must be transported through a six-mile-long pipeline for processing. Both chemical simulants (e.g., Fow et al 1986aFow et al , 1986bCarleson et al 1987) and physical simulants (Reynolds et al 1996) have been formulated forrheological and pipe-loop testing.…”

“…Because waste slurry properties are of reduced importance for retrieval system development and testing, slurry and supemate simulants will not be discussed further in this document. Refer to Reynolds et al (1996) and Hudson (1996) for descriptions of slurry simulants and their relationship to tank waste.…”

Material Balance Assessment for Double-Shell Tank Waste Pipeline Transfer

“…The majority of information pertaining to the application of Coriolis meters is associated with Micro Motion due to their overwhelming market share. Most of PNNL's experience within the DOE complex has been with Micro Motion meters, though there is some limited experience with Krohne meters (Reynolds et al 1996;Enderlin et al 1997Enderlin et al , 2002Powell et al 1999). Straight tube Endress & Hauser meters were installed in an experimental transfer line at PNNL's 338 Building fluids laboratory in late FY 2002.…”

Most of PNNL's experience within the DOE complex has been with Micro Motion meters, though there is some limited experience with Krohne meters (Reynolds et al 1996;Enderlin et al 1997;Powell et al 1999). Based on these facts, various models of Micro Motion meters were evaluated to access the potential meter accuracy attainable.…”

“…Testing of a CMF300 was performed at PNNL for Project W211 at Hanford (Reynolds et al 1996) for flow rates of approximately 1500 to 2200 lb/min. The accuracy of the meter for mass flow rate was determined to be on the order of 8%.…”
