0 0 <br /> • Plant Water Treatment- Most of the water entering the plant from the raw water storage <br /> tank or pond will be softened in preparation for distribution to subsequent treatment <br /> systems. A reverse osmosis unit will be used to provide boiler makeup water. <br /> • Potable Water— Bottled water will be purchased for drinking water. <br /> • Cooling Water- Cooling water will be required for the sodium bicarbonate crystallizers. <br /> The cooling water system is designed as a closed recirculating system utilizing <br /> evaporative cooling. Warmed water from the process heat exchangers will return to a <br /> cooling tower where it will be re-cooled. <br /> • Fire Protection - The fire protection system for this plant will include a UBC Code review <br /> and placement of sprinklers in designated areas with hydrants located at strategic <br /> locations. Raw water in the plant storage tank will be used to supply water to the fire <br /> system pumps. The pumps are expected to include one fire water pump and a jockey <br /> pump. The main fire water pump will be engine driven. Also, potable and mobile fire <br /> fighting equipment will be provided. <br /> • Steam - Steam for the plant will be provided by one natural gas-fired steam boiler with a <br /> rated capacity of 40,000 pounds per hour at 150 psig saturated steam. Purified water <br /> will be used for boiler makeup water and for making up boiler chemicals. <br /> • Electricity - Electric power will be purchased from the White River Electric Association. <br /> The power line will be brought to the plant substation from the transmission lines <br /> supplying power to either the existing White River Nahcolite facility or the Piceance <br /> Creek Station. <br /> • Natural Gas- Natural gas will be supplied to the plant via a 4 mile pipeline. The gas will <br /> be used to supply fuel to the steam boiler and for cap gas in the solution mining cavities. <br /> • Liquid Fuels- Diesel fuel will be delivered to the site by tank trucks and transferred into a <br /> site storage tank to supply fuel to the vehicles and equipment. Fuel oil also will be used <br /> for alternate boiler operation. <br /> • CO2 ,Storage -A leased 60 ton CO2, liquid storage tank and vaporizer will be installed to <br /> provide makeup CO2 gas for recarbonation in the crystallizers, and suppression of <br /> bicarbonate decomposition in the dryer. <br /> • Utility and Instrument Air— A compressor will be provided to supply compressed air for <br /> various utility uses and for pneumatic instrumentations. <br /> G:\LMM76545.002\Reclamation\Reclamexh.DOC D-40 <br />
