Final touches being made on rinsate system

Installation of the Rinsate Collection System (RCS) is complete. All the piping, mechanical equipment and electrical lines have been installed, and just a few minor touch-ups remain to be completed. System testing has begun and will continue for the next couple weeks. The system was designed to collect rinsate, or water, used to break up sludge, known as “heel,” from ton containers during the agent removal process. Prior to this system’s creation, rinsatewas pumped into an empty “recipient” ton containerand then processed through the Metal Parts Furnace (MPF).Once the RCS is operational, rinsate will be transferred directly to the tanks shown above and then processed in one of the two Liquid Incinerators (LICs). Following Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) approval, the system is expected to go into operation in April.
