Air Deployable Caustic Mixing System
Abstract
Report developed under SBIR Contract for Topic 03-018. The modular skid mounted system designed in the Phase I effort is an air-transportable batch chemical blending and storage system. It is capable of preparing a mixed hydroxide (MOH) solution composed of potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and lithium hydroxide (LiOH) using dry alkali hydroxide raw material and de-ionized water at a rate of 3678 lb/hr (1668 kg/hr). The system is capable of producing 11,036 lb (5006 kg) of mixed hydroxide solution in just over 3 hours within an accuracy of 0.5% of its target recipe requirements. Each module will have quick-connect power and communication leads from a central power distribution and process control station. The necessary transformer requirements for the system have been calculated as 750kVA. Such a system when combined with a peroxide mixing system can provide reliable and essential support for the air borne laser.
