Summarization of project accomplishments for 2001: <br />• The outside crossover transfer belt was rebuilt to improve baghouse performance. <br />A repulper system was installed to reduce fines in the product sold from the storage <br />dome. <br />• A second cooling tower was installed to increase cooling in crystallizer #4. <br />• All flow-switching valves were replaced using a triaxial stainless steel butterfly valve. <br />To date no failure has occurred on any of the new flow-switching valves. <br />Water conservation measures continued to be installed or improved. As needed or <br />when the pump was made available, double RO seals were installed. <br />• Well 4A-6V was recompleted as a recovery well. A commercial downhole screen and <br />• a submersible pump were installed. <br />• A second commercial screen was installed in cavity #3A recovery well 3A-5V. <br />Following two months of operation, the downhole screen failed. <br />• Well 2B-3C was converted to an injection well. The well was cemented to surface and <br />the casing pressure tested to 300 psi per the UIC permit. Connection was made to <br />cavity #3 using short radius drilling technology. No connection was made to cavity <br />#1A after drilling a total of 220 feet. Surface pipe and wellhead with sensors were <br />installed for the 26-3C well. <br />• Cavities #1A, 3A, and 4A continue to produce quality brine with low chlorides. <br />• <br />6 <br />
