Hanford Site
The THOR® Process is capable of treating the following waste streams from the Hanford site
Several demonstrations for trateing LAW supernate have been performed. These include:
- Bench-scale LAW stream
surrogate
- Env A (2002)
- Env C (2004)
- Monolith (2005)
Results from these demonstrations have shown that the THOR® process has a high potential for being a viable treatment process for the LAW stream.
Upcoming Opportunities
- Advanced Remediation Technologies (ARTS)
- In September 2007, TTT was awarded the ARTS Phase II Project. Through this project TTT will demonstrate and complete qualification of the THOR® Process to treat Handford Low Activity Waste (LAW) stream.
- Phase I of ART identified key areas where additional data is required for the THOR® waste form qualification and facility permitting. Phase II of ART will develop this data and re-verify existing data. This will be done in two steps.
- Step 1: bench-Top Stream reforming Demonstration using liter size quantities of actual LAW where the partitioning and retention of Tc and I will be verified.
- Step 2: Engineering Scale Technology Demonstration using the Hazen Pilot plant where monolithic mineral products will be evaluated against the Hanford waste acceptance criteria emissions data will be taken for permitting, and the mass balance for radioactive surrogates will be closed.
- Completion of these steps is expected by July, 2009. Come visit us to monitor the progress of our testing.
