1.0 INTRODUCTION

Washington River Protection Solutions, WRPS, operates the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) within the Hanford Site. ETF is essential to the Hanford waste treatment mission plan as it serves the role of receiving, treating, and disposing of liquid effluents from various on-site processes. ETF’s main processes consists of organic contaminants removal/destruction, suspended solids removal, evaporation, concentration, condensation, and drying. Specifically, filtration to remove organic contaminants and solids from liquid effluents is critical for sustaining ETF’s throughput. Anticipation of colloidal and microbiological components clogging the filter has garnered significant interest due to the adverse ramifications arising from irreversible filter fouling with the current dead end filtration technology being utilized in ETF (RPP-RPT-61362). With ETF plant upgrades in progress to support the increased capacity of DFLAW operations, evaluating alternatives to the current filtration technology used in the main treatment train is necessary in order to select a path forward aimed at minimizing filter plugging and plant shutdown. The aim of this test plan, using the Spintek rotary microfilter system shown in Figure 1-1, consists of the following: identification of a filtration technology which is resistant to filter fouling under the conditions experienced at ETF; identification of the optimal filtration media which shows low rate of fouling with high flux, demonstration of the ability to operate at a turn down ratio of at least three below the plant design throughput of 150 gpm, and achieve a 30x concentration factor thus meeting the maximum solids reject rate to the ETF evaporator of 5 gpm . Plant turndown will be demonstrate during subsequent testing (phase 3) on plant with actual basin feed water. Phase 3 testing will be the subject of a separate test plan. The plant filtration system will comprise multiple Spintek filter packs operating in parallel, so turndown to enable an operating feed flow range of 50 – 150 gpm is unlikely to be an issue.

This test plan consists of a lab and pilot scale study for the Spintek RMF skid, and will be performed via a 2 phase approach:

Phase 1- lab scale testing to downselect the filter media with the highest flux and lowest fouling. Phase 2- pilot scale testing using filter media selected in phase 1 to establish operating

performance parameters (flow, pressure, cleaning requirements etc.) over a longer duration and to demonstrate feed concentration to 30x.

All testing will be run using a filter fouling simulant as defined in Appendix A.

2.0 TEST OBJECTIVES

Overarching technical objectives of performing the pilot scale testing are:

1. To determine the optimal filter media out of those tested – highest flux with lowest fouling

2. To obtain, at pilot scale, process data to define operating parameters (i.e. feed flow, differential pressure, filtrate flow)

3. Achieve an overall 30x feed concentration factor using the RMF.

4. To determine the most effective filter cleaning method

2.1 Success Criteria

1) Select optimum filter media to proceed to phase 2 based on conclusive analytical data (highest flux, lowest fouling detected) when processing simulant feed

2) Assess filter technology in phase 2 based on the following: ability to maintain flux rate and minimize media fouling over a longer duration period, demonstrate scale-up operating performance capabilities to ensure ability to meet ETF throughput of 150 gpm.

3) 30x overall feed concentration factor achieved.

4) Cleaning methodology for the system selected based on ability to remove foulants and return flux to as near new conditions as possible.

2.2 Modes of Operation

The two modes of operation within the Spintek RMF test skid are lab and pilot scale modes respectively. In lab mode the RMF operates with a single filter disc, and in pilot mode the unit operates with a 3 disc pack.

3.0 METHODOLOGY

3.1 Tests

Testing scope comprises of two test phases using two different filter media for the RMF system. Filter membrane performance tests require establishing a baseline with deionized (DI) water and flux measurement using the fouling simulant. The purpose of phase 1 testing is to identify the best filter media in terms of absolute filtrate flux and an initial look at fouling potential. The best membrane selected from these phase 1 tests will then be installed in the RMF unit and tested further in phase 2. Phase 2 testing is a longer term test which will better establish the fouling behavior of the membrane and the ability to concentrate the simulant feed by a volume factor of 30x. Finally some cleaning tests will be run. Following this testing there will be a third testing phase with real basin water to confirm results on real feed. That testing will be the subject of a different test plan.

3.1.1 Phase 1 Test Procedure

Phase 1 consists of 2 test runs with 2 different membrane sizes – 0.1 µm and 0.5 µm rated. Each test run in phase 1 consists of 2 activities; clean water flux measurement using DI water for establishing baseline and testing with fouling simulant. It is anticipated that 15 gallons of feed simulant will be required for each of the Phase 1 tests on the RMF, or 30 gallons total. Membranes shall be tested with constant conditions designated for their respective systems, and following data shall be collected: feed and permeate sample, differential pressure, permeate and concentrate flow rates.

Phase 1 for SpinTek RMF membranes tests at 0.1 µm and 0.5 µm membranes sizes with the conditions below in Table 3-1, and the following data is collected: feed and filtrate sample, temperature, filter inlet and outlet pressures, differential pressure, filtrate and concentrate flow rates. .

Table 3-1: Phase 1- RMF Test Runs

*acceptable range 20-50⁰C

3.1.2 Phase 2 Test Procedure

Phase 2 consists of a single test utilizing the test skid in pilot scale mode (i.e. using 3 filter discs) in order to determine optimal performance parameters for the membrane media determined in phase 1, followed by a cleaning study to establish a cleaning protocol for the filters. It is anticipated that 1000 gallons of simulant feed will be required for this testing. Phase 2 testing will follow the steps listed below in order:

1. Measurement of clean water flux baseline with DI water at 50 psid.

2. Membrane conditioning using the test feed, collecting operating data every 15 minutes until a stable flux is achieved

3. Testing at different pressures from 30 to 50 psi in 5 psi increments (see Table 3-2)4. Operation at the optimum differential pressure for 30 minutes to ensure stable flux before5. Concentrating the feed sample to the target volume concentration (30x).6. Extended period of operation at 30x concentration.7. Cleaning study to identify optimum cleaning chemicals and procedure (see 3.1.3).8. Measurement of clean water flux for comparison against initial baseline established in step 1.

Figure. 3-1 Phase 2 – Batch Concentration Test Flow Diagram (Spintek)

Batch concentration test step of phase 2 (Test Step 4 from Table 3-2 below) test shall use the following general sequence to run:

1. Fill system and start up with filtrate valve closed and reject recycling back to feed tank2. Set desired filter TMP via pump speed and backpressure control valve.3. Start feed to skid and open filtrate valve4. Control infeed in order to maintain feed tank level 5. Continue with reject in recycle mode until the feed tank contents are 30x concentrated (so if

circuit volume is 20 gals (TBD), when 600 gals of feed has been admitted, or 580 gals of filtrate has been produced). If flux declines significantly then this step may have to be ended before the target concentrations are achieved.

6. Close reject recycle valve, open valve to tote and divert 5 gals (TBD) of reject to tote.

Page 5 of 22


7. Close valve to tote and open reject recycle valve.8. Feed tank level will have dropped, when reject valve is closed it will top back up again with fresh

feed (it is theoretically possible to match the continuous feed flow with the continuous filtrate flow and intermittent reject flow, however it is more usual and simpler just to work on level control in the feed tank to start and stop feed flow accordingly).

9. Calculate how long to discharge reject to tote and how long to recycle to maintain the 30x concentration in feed tank.

10. Continue operation as long as desired.

A schematic of the phase 2 batch concentration test is shown in Figure 3-1 above.

The SpinTek RMF is expected to operate at approximately 40 psid, and so a pressure range of 30-50 psid shall be used to examine best operating pressure, see Table 3-2 below.

Feed and filtrate samples should be collected before step 4 and concentrate and filtrate samples should be collected after this step is completed.

3.1.3 Filter Cleaning Test Procedure

The effectiveness of cleaning is assessed by the TMP across the filters before and after cleaning as a function of filtrate production rate. The cleaning study evaluates two cleaning chemicals at a vendor recommended pH and dosage provided in Table 3-3.

Page 6 of 22


Table 3-3: Spintek Cleaning Chemical Recommendations

Cleaner pH Concentration* (%)Citric acid 2.5 2-3EDTA 11.0 2-3*Based on volumetric dilution

A standard cleaning study consists of the following steps:

-Step 1: Flush of the test skid with clean water at or above feed material temperature at the recommended 50 C for 15 minutes in order to purge residual feed material. Once the system is purged, a ⁰fresh water flux reading at 50 psid and the temperature should be recorded.

-Step 2: Mix the cleaning solution according to the recommended dosage rates using clean tap water for dilution. The solution is heated to 50-55⁰C. If hot water or a means to heat the cleaning solution is unavailable, the run times should be doubled during step 3 below.

-Step 3: Recirculate the cleaning solution through the filter for 30-45 minutes at a 50-60 psia feed pressure.

-Step 4: Flush the system with clean water for 15 minutes purging the cleaning solution at 50-60 psi. Once the system is flushed, a fresh water flux reading at 50 psid and the temperature should be recorded. .

After the first cleaner testing has concluded, and if cleaning is successful, the second cleaner testing may require running the filter for another period of time to foul the membrane prior to cleaning again. If the first cleaning is not successful then the second cleaning can proceed immediately.

3.2 Test System

All testing contained in this test plan tests will be performed at the subcontractor’s facility.

The Spintek RMF test system consists of a skid which can be configured to operate either in laboratory mode with a single filter disc, or pilot mode with three filter discs. A P&ID for this system is shown in Appendix B. The P&ID provides the overall configuration of the test platform within the context of the test program.

3.3 Test Procedures/Run Sheets

The subcontractor will develop test run sheets and any required procedures consistent with the objectives and success criteria presented in this plan. The test run sheets will be reviewed and approved by the buyer prior to the start of testing.

Test run sheets will include or address the following (at a minimum):

Purpose and scope of testing Completion of prerequisites

Change control Sequential and non-sequential test steps Verification, witness, or hold points Collection of samples Acceptance criteria Configuration of the system as tested A test log to document test evolutions, problems, important observations, etc. Preservation and control of test data recorded electronically and manually (i.e. round sheets).

3.4 Data Collection

3.4.1 Data Types

The ETF Pilot Scale Filtration Testing project collects both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data consists of data that cannot be reasonably collected using measuring and test equipment. Examples of qualitative data include, but are not limited to:

Visual observations, Photographs, and Video recordings.

Quantitative data consists of data collected using measuring and test equipment. Examples of quantitative data include, but are not limited to:

Concentration, Dimensions, Fluid flow, Pressure, and Temperature.

Test data should be collected, recorded and controlled in accordance with the requirements of ISO9001:2015.

3.4.2 Instrumentation

The Spintek skid has been in storage for several years so instrumentation on this skid should be checked for functionality and calibration prior to testing.

3.4.3 Data Acquisition System

Data acquisition consists of two primary methods: 1) electronic recording of instrument signals, and 2) round sheets. The primary methods of data acquisition are augmented by video recording, photographs, and observations by test personnel recorded in the test log. The test platform uses a data acquisition system (DAS) to record data signals from field instruments. Test personnel augment the electronic data collection using pre-defined round sheets provided in each test run sheet.

Page 8 of 22


3.4.4 Sampling

Samples of initial feed, final concentrate and filtrate will be collected during the concentration test runs. Analysis will be limited to TSS, particle size distribution and pH. Samples collected before and after testing will consist of grab samples taken either directly from totes and tanks or indirectly through designated sample collection valves on recirculation loops. Samples collected during testing will utilize designated sample collection valves.

Samples will be collected, labeled, stored, and shipped in wide-mouth Nalgene bottles or laboratory-supplied sample kits. Sample kits supplied by the analytical laboratory will be preferentially used when available. Each sampling event will collect a primary sample and a duplicate sample. Sample volumes will be a minimum of 500 mL.

Samples will be labeled sequentially with a unique identifier traceable to the test procedure/run sheet and logged in the sample log. Primary samples will be designated as “A” samples. Duplicate samples will be designated as “B” samples and archived. Unique sample identifiers will be of the form:

ETF-PILOT FILT-RunSheet#-XXXXX-A (for primary samples), and

ETF-PILOT FILT-RunSheet#-XXXXX-B (for duplicate samples)

Chain of custody forms will track shipments of samples to the designated laboratory for analysis. Samples submitted for analysis will be transported to the designated laboratory in project-specific coolers. Storage, transportation, analysis and disposal of samples follows laboratory procedure once custody of the samples is transferred to the laboratory.

Undissolved solids analysis will be performed by EPA standard method 180.1.

3.4.5 Data Control, Storage, and Archival

Data, both electronic and hardcopy, will be controlled to prevent inadvertent loss or damage. Electronic data will be backed up to an external storage device at a minimum of once per day. Both electronic and hard copy data will be submitted to document control for storage and archival upon completion of a test run.

3.5 Personnel Qualifications

Prior to commencing testing, WRPS and any subcontractors will ensure test personnel complete requisite training. Training consists of two primary categories: training to ensure completion of test objectives and success criteria during execution and facility-specific training to ensure safe, compliant conduct of operations. Commensurate with the scope, complexity, and nature of activities to be performed, test personnel will complete training for the items identified in Table 3-4. Anticipated Training for ETF FiltrationTesting4. Methods of training include, but are not limited to, classroom sessions, on-the-job training, or a combination of methods.
