Full scale field test of the in situ air stripping process at the Savannah River integrated demonstration test site

A full-scale field test loading of a riverbank stabilized with rockfill columns was used to measure the load–deformation characteristics of the reinforced slope. The test site is located on the natural banks of the Red River in the city of Winnipeg. Rockfill column technology has evolved from granular shear key methods for stabilizing slopes. The relatively weak lacustrine clays are stabilized with compacted columns of limestone rockfill. The columns typically extend through the clay stratum and are anchored in the underlying till. The project involved an extensive site investigation, and soils characterization program in preparation for the field test. Eleven 2.1 m diameter columns were tested by loading the bank with 1920 t of fill. The deformations were measured with standard and in-place inclinometers. The pore-water pressure response of the in situ soils was continuously monitored with vibrating wire piezometers. The results have shown that shear stresses are mobilized along the entire length of the column when subjected to loading, and that complete densification is important in minimizing deformations. This paper discusses the design and construction of the field test and presents the results of the monitoring programs.

This paper describes the first full-scale field test of a steam injection system for a natural-gas-fired G.E. LM5000 gas generator for the purpose of: (a) decreased exhaust emissions, (b) increased power output, and (c) improved efficiency. It discusses the steam supply system, engine features, test results, and plant economics for steam injection into the combustor and compressor discharge sections of the LM5000 at rates up to 65,000 lb/hr (29,510 kg/hr).
