Laboratory Evaporation Studies of Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Basin F Fluid, RMA Basin, Test No. 1

Abstract

A study on the disposal of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Basin F contents conducted in 1978 by the Producibility Engineering and Technology Branch, Munitions Division, Chemical Systems Laboratory, concluded that none of the developed disposal schemes were cost effective. It was recommended that other alternatives for Basin F control be investigated. These laboratory investigations, outlined in Test Plan RMA No. 1 dated September 1979 (See Appendix 1), were to be used to establish a data base for evaporation of Basin F without outside influences (leakage, input to basin, etc). Engineering data (viscosity, density, surface tension, etc) required for the feasibility evaluation of various candidate processes were to be gathered for input to the process engineering effort. Determine physical properties of Basin F fluid at various stages of artificial evaporation (distillation). Determine natural evaporation rate data of Basin F fluid at ambient conditions.
