Melt Rate Furnace Testing for Sludge Batch 5 Frit Optimization

Impact of Reducing the 100 C Liquidus Temperature Offset on Waste Loading Targets

“…Although this system is highlighted in this report, the same trends have been observed for subsequent sludge batches either through experimental studies at SRNL , Smith et al 2007, Miller et al 2008) and/or DWPF operations. The general trend of melt rate versus WL is conceptually shown in Figure 1.…”

Sludge Mass Reduction: Primary Compositional Factors That Influence Melt Rate for Future Sludge Batch Projections

“…Melt rate tests were performed as detailed in the melt rate run plan [12]. SRAT product, adjusted for REDOX, from Cluster 2 and Cluster 4 were used at a waste loading target of 36%.…”

Melt Rate Testing for Sludge Batch 6

“…The measured melt rates for the frit standard were consistent with previous studies.
