PROJECT INCLUDED SEPARATION OF ALL NON-CONTACT COOLING WATER, OIL SEPARATION AND SLAB RUNOFF COLLECTION, CONTACT WATER HANDLING, ORGANIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION IN CHEMICAL STORAGE, AND A TREATMENT SYSTEM FOR OFF-SPEC BATCHES. BH:sb 2/86 DO 074611 CONFIDENTIAL LHC II AND III SPENT CELL EFFLUENT TREATMENT SYSTEMS THE NEW NPDES PERMIT, WHEN IMPLEMENTED, WILL REQUIRE THE LHC PLANTS II AND III MEET A BENZENE STANDARD. THE PERMIT LEVEL WILL BE BASED ON THE CONCENTRATION LEVEL ACHIEVABLE USING THE "BAT" (-150 PPB). PROJECT CONSISTED OF INSTALLING HIGH SPEED DECANTERS TO SEPARATE THE HYDROCARBON AND CELL EFFLUENT LIQUID PHASES, EXCHANGERS FOR HEAT RECOVERY AND STEAM STRIPPERS TO REMOVE BENZENE FROM SPENT CELL EFFLUENT. BH:sb 2/86 DO 074612 CONFIDENTIAL. LHC II WASTEWATER SYSTEM THIS PROJECT JUSTIFIED ALONG WITH SPENT CELL EFFLUENT PROJECT TO REDUCE BENZENE LOSSES TO WATER. PROJECT CONSISTED OF REVAMPING THE QUENCH WATER TOWERS TO MINIMIZE NON-COMPLIANCES. THE OILY WATER EFFLUENT IS PHASE SEPARATED AND STEAM STRIPPED. THE HEAVY HYDROCARBON PHASE IS COLLECTED AND PROCESSED IN A DRYING SYSTEM AND THE OIL IS UTILIZED AS FUEL. THE SLOP OIL AREA HOLDING POND WAS CLOSED OUT AND THE "SLOP OIL" AREA DEMOLISHED AS THE RESULT OF THIS PROJECT. BH:sb 2/86 DO 074613 CONFIDENTS STATUS REPORT LHC III BENZENE STRIPPING RUN TIME LIMITED TO ONE TO TWO WEEKS DUE TO FOULING POLYMER FORMATION IN TOWER FROM ALDOL CONDENSATION REACTION THAT IS CATALYZED BY HEAT AND CAUSTIC CONCENTRATION. POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO FOULING PROBLEM: USE A CHEMICAL SCAVENGER TO REDUCE CARBONYL LEVELS. DILUTE CAUSTIC CONCENTRATION USING CONDENSATE. FUEL GAS STRIPPING TO RUN COLUMN AT LOWER TEMPERATURE.

DME METHYL CHLORIDE, METHANOL) IN THE PLANT'S SPENT H2SO4 ACID DISCHARGE STREAM IN ORDER TO MEET REQUIREMENTS OF THE "BPT" WATER REGULATIONS. ALTHOUGH DME IS NOT A PRIORITY POLLUTANT, REGULATIONS REQUIRE ITS CONTROL. A STRIPPING COLUMN WITH THE OVERHEADS PIPED TO A THROX UNIT WILL BE INSTALLED TO REMOVE THE ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS.

LANDFILL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THIS IS A PROJECT TO CONSTRUCT A STATE-OF-THE-ART SOLID WASTE AND HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILLS. THE USE OF SLURRY WALLS, IMPERMEABLE LINERS, AND LEACHATE COLLECTION SYSTEMS WILL BE UTILIZED TO MEET STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. THE EXISTING SOLID WASTE LANDFILL IS LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE DIVISION ON AUSTRALIA POINT. THE LANDFILL IS OUTSIDE THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER LEVEE SYSTEM AND IS THEREFORE WITHIN THE 100-YEAR FLOOD PLANE. IT IS NOT PERMITTABLE BECAUSE OF THIS AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER AN AUGUST 31, 1986 CLOSURE ORDER. THE EXISTING HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILL IN THE LOUISIANA DIVISION DOES NOT MEET STATE AND FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMITTING. A PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE NEW HAZARDOUS WASTE LANDFILL WILL BE THE STORAGE OF INCINERATOR ASH FROM THE DIVISION'S HAZARDOUS WASTE INCINERATOR. IN ADDITION, THERE IS A NEED FOR A PERMITTED DISPOSAL SITE TO HANDLE A FEW HUNDRED TONS PER YEAR OF MISCELLANEOUS INORGANIC WASTES.
