Economic Evaluation of Carbon Adsorption/Ion Exchange Wastewater Treatment Options for Sunflower AAP (Army Ammunition Plant) NQ (Nitroguanidine) Wastewater Treatment Facility

Abstract

The objective of this subtask was to provide an estimate of the capital investment and operating costs for the wastewater treatment technology option involving activated carbon adsorption and ion exchange for primary separation, and multiple-effect evaporation and spray drying for volume reduction. During the course of this study, however, it became evident that the process economics could be significantly improved of the ion exchange step was eliminated from the process scheme. The bases for the system design, plant operation and cost evaluation were provided to Arthur D. Little by Sunflower AAP personnel to make certain that direct comparisons could be made with other treatment options under consideration.
