Also, 1 BGCAPP is called a pilot plant because some of the processes used for destroying the agent have never before been used in this application, or 4 Letter Report: The Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant's used in combination with each other. Water Recovery System, 2012, and Assessment of Supercritical Water Oxida 2 The mustard stockpile at BGAD will be disposed of onsite using an tion System Testing for the Blue Grass Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot explosive destruction technology; it will not be processed through BGCAPP.

Underperformance and Failure Risks, Systemization, and Contingency Options for the Water Recovery System Finding 7-1.  BGCAPP scientists and engineers have identified a number of challenges that may be encountered in the The WRS consists of three SCWO effluent storage tanks, operation of the SCWO system at BGCAPP and are taking a pretreatment system to remove suspended solids, three RO appropriate corrective actions to address these challenges.

Should the decision be made to ship hydrolysate or SCWO Finding 7-13.  Since many WRS process details are effluent offsite, additional infrastructure would be needed to unknown, including the amount of solids in the SCWO efficiently and effectively transfer the material for shipment. effluent, the amount of solids that settle in the SCWO effluent Infrastructure additions would likely be minimal but might storage tanks, and coagulant requirements and effectiveness, include additional piping, leak containment, agent monitors, successful operation of the current WRS direct filtration waste loading areas, truck loading docks, new rail/roadways multimedia pretreatment system is uncertain.
