摘要: This report describes two projects conducted at Watervliet Arsenal (WVA), NY, during Fiscal Year 2000. The first project included an upgrade of the crane and hoist in the minor parts chrome plating facility. Another problem was the facility's existing chromic acid and electro-polish pumps, which were sealed pumps. The corrosive media, pressure, and high temperature in the process streams caused the pump seals to break frequently. The second project included upgrades to two chromic acid pumps, three electropolish pumps, and one emergency waste pump in the 120-mm chrome plating facility. The hoist and crane upgrade and the design of the tank temperature controls produced a number of benefits including: reduction of energy costs; accurate temperature monitoring of critical processes; safer use of crane hoists; increased production capacity; chrome plating scrubber air compliance monitoring; reduction in scrap and rework; and connection to site-wide EMIS. Benefits of pump upgrading to sealless magnetic drive units include reduction in: plating facility downtime; maintenance equipment/labor costs; hazardous chemical spills through leaking seals; operation/maintenance chemical exposures; wastewater sent to the treatment plant; energy costs; and an increase in plating efficiency.
