Metrics for Successful Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) System Operation at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (BGCAPP) (BGCAPP SCWO Metrics)

Completed

Topics

The purpose of this activity is to recommend metrics to determine whether the supercritical water oxidation system installed at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant is operating successfully.

About Past Events

Description

Based on the 2015 report Review Criteria for Successful Treatment of Hydrolysate at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant, the committee will:

  • Develop metrics that can be used to determine the success or risks of failure of the BGCAPP SCWO system . These are to be based on the Performance Goals for the SCWO and the WRS and the Graded Success Scale for Use in Evaluating Overall Operation and Individual Treatment Processes, both in the 2015 report for successful hydrolysate treatment.
  • Focus on the parameters of safety; performance; corrosion; and reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) and make recommendations for metrics.
  • Identify any “no-go” or “stop work” factors (e.g., safety) that would result in an immediate halt of BGCAPP SCWO operations.
