Series Description: This 1991 report summarizes the results of the set-up and testing of experimental wastewater decontamination processes to reduce the amounts of low-level liquid wastes [LLLWs] generated at the Process Waste Treatment Plant. The report describes methods previously and currently in use at the PWTP but focuses on proposed processes and bench-, pilot-, and full-scale process testing. Large-scale testing was conducted on the "Strong-acid ion-exchange flowsheet" and the "chabazite flowsheet" processes. Conclusions and recommendations are offered, and a list of reference documents is included. Test results are laid out in tables in the appendices and may contain test material ID numbers, the test date and time, and effluent concentrations for cesium, strontium, and gross beta activity in becquerels per liter (Bq/l).
