Solvent dispersion and flow meter calculation results

  • 1. Savannah River National Lab., Aiken, SC (United States)

Description

Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) found that the dispersion numbers for the six combinations of CSSX: Next Generation Solvent (NGS) ''blend'' and pure NGS versus salt solution, caustic wash, and strip aqueous solutions are all good. The dispersion numbers are indications of processability with centrifugal contactors. A comparison of solvent physical and thermal properties shows that the Intek (TM) solvent flow meter in the plant has a reading biased high versus calibrated flow when NGS is used, versus the standard CSSX solvent. The flow meter, calibrated for CSSX solvent, is predicted to read 2.8 gpm of NGS in a case where the true flow of NGS is 2.16 gpm.
