Laughlin, Consulting Engineer. <br /> <br />16. ABSTRACT <br />This study evaluates the use of saline water from the Big Sandy River as a <br />partial water supply to the Jim Bridger Power Plant in southwestern <br />Wyoming. The Big Sandy River is under investigation by the Bureau of <br />Reclamation as a potential control source for 167,000 tons of salt that <br />flows' annually into the Colorado River system. <br /> <br />The objectives of the study included the technical and economic evaluation <br />of process and equipment options for saline water use, the determination <br />of incremental costs, .and selection of potential modifications within <br />existing plant boundaries. Based on technical screening and economic <br />analysis, the selected process option used a blended water supply for <br />powerplant cooling with applied sidestream lime/soda softening. Design <br />provisions were also 'made for use/disposal of blowdown and wastewater in <br />the scrubber systems and lined disposal ponds. <br /> <br />17. KEY WORDS ANQ DOCUMENT ANALYSIS <br />o.
