Remote Sampler Demonstration Isolok Configuration Test

The accuracy and precision of a new Isolok sampler configuration was evaluated using a recirculation flow loop. The evaluation was performed using two slurry simulants of Hanford high-level tank waste. Through testing, the capability of the Isolok sampler was evaluated. Sample concentrations were compared to reference samples that were simultaneously collected by a two-stage Vezin sampler. The capability of the Isolok sampler to collect samples that accurately reflect the contents in the test loop improved – biases between the Isolok and Vezin samples were greatly reduce for fast settling particles.

Development and Testing of a High Level Waste Slurry Sampling Technique to Support Hanford Waste Processing - 17164

The Hanford Tank Operations Contractor must demonstrate the capability to adequately sample staged high-level waste feed. The sampler employed must have accuracy and precision performance that allow the Tank Operations Contractor (TOC) to meet the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP) Waste Acceptance Criteria Data Quality Objectives (DQO). A full-scale sampling loop was used at a test facility to develop and demonstrate sampler capability. This paper will discuss the modifications to a sampler configuration previously tested - modifications focused on the improvement of the accuracy of test results. This work targets one of the remaining technical issues with the high-level waste treatment mission at Hanford. The sampling method employed must support both Tank Operations and Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant requirements. To facilitate information transfer between the two facilities the mixing and sampling demonstrations are led by the TOC's Chief Technology Office in conjunction with the One System Integrated Project Team. Results of the testing showed that performance of the Isolok{sup R} sampler, chosen for implementation, can be greatly improved by modifying the systems configuration to provide accurate, repeatable results for Hanford's simulated high level waste.
