The study has been funded 35% by Lacey Township, and 65% by funds provided'by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration through the New Jersey Department of Energy. The principal objective on the study was to ascertain if mitigation of thermal pollution to Barnegat Bay from power generating plant condenser cooling water from Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) is possible. The potential means of this mitigation is the utilization of the heat energy content of the cooling water in some commercial process pr ior to discharge of the cooling water to Barnegat Bay or other public waters. This study was primarily a general investigation intended to be applicable to situations where relatively large amounts of energy are released through cooling processes accomplished by small tem- perature increases in massive amounts of water. A further incentive prompting this investigation was the availability of industrially- zoned land immediately adjacent to the Lacey Township installation and the desire and Intent of the Lacey Township governing body and its Industrial Commission to establish an Industrial Park at that location. The general steps undertaken in this study were as follows: .1. A bibliography of available existing research applicable to Waste Heat Utilization was pre- pared and the pertinent documents were acquired and reviewed. 2. Certain processes, it became apparentP have utilized waste heat from energy for years with varying degrees of success and were further investigated. Typical uses of waste heat or other low level heat transfers similar to those occurring in power plant effluent are: a.. High Intensity Aquaculture b. High Intensity Mariculture C. Commercial Agriculture Other processes were identified and investigated as to their applicability in relation to the temperatures av ailable from OCNGS and the proposed Forked River Unit #1 (FR#l) plants. Material and market considerations were explored to determine which of the identified possible processes might be most applicable to the specific Lacey Township site. Criteria were developed in this process which are useful in determining similar specifics at other geographica I locations. After identifying possible processes it was necessary to determine what constraints exist that would influence the cost- effectiveness of implementing the interfacing with the power generating facility to supply the waste heat to energize the selected processes. Several problems and needs were identified as follows: 1. All processes identified require a constant supply of energy. For this reason Waste Heat Utilization operations will probably only be successful where complexes of two (2) or more generating stations adjacently located but operating independently exist, and some alternate heat sources or large storage capability exist for periods of generating station outages, or ambient climate limitations. 2. 2. The uses investigated in this report, and other reports dealing with Waste Heat Utilization, have. been selected primarily because they fit the available temperature criteria with little or no augmentation requir ed. This leads to a dilemma in our climate; i.e., proces ses which operate at relatively low temperatures may utilize the available low grade heat during winter conditions, however, many of these processes, since their operational range is on the low side, may require cooling during the summer months and are, therefore, rendered ineffective in mitigating thermal pollution. It would, therefore, appear that temperature augmentation to the range of 140' - 200' F and the keying of processes utilizing temperatures in that range, could be effective in Waste Heat Utilization on a year-round basts. 3. An examination of regulatory agencies and their permitting procedures shows that Local, State and Federal approvals are necessary and a unified and well coordinated effort will be required to make a project of this magnitude feasible. 4. Certain psychological and financial factors exist in the concept of an industrial operation located immediately adjacent to a nuclear generating facility. These considerations are largely in the, area of the preception of risks in the following areas: a. The work force b. Financial Institutions C. Insurance Companies An examination of these risks and the mechanisms available for minimizing them, and an objective attempt at assessing the actual risks involved is also presented. Summary of Conclusions A summary of conclusions to be found in the report is as follows: 1. It would appear that there are ce rtain commercial applications which may be useful in both mitigating thermal discharges and usefully utilizing waste heat from power generating stations. 3. 2. The successful utilization of waste heat from cooling water would appear to have a much better chance in applications planned in conjunction with the design of,the plant and its operational plan rather than in retrofitti@ng existing facilities. 3. There would appear to be advantages to be gained in the siting of plants and in the public acceptability of proposed plants if industrial usages could be pre- sented concurrently with the presentation of proposed new plants. 4. Proposed uses should be limited to non-labor intensive applications in view of the psychological limitations of the general public in accepting high labor intensive operations in areas where evacuation considerations are deemed necessary. A further caveat is that some in- surance limitations will probably exist in these areas, however, no statistical evidence exists, at this time, to justify any such activities as they would apply to personal health or safety. 5. Aztec Energy Associates (See Appendix F) reviewed the possibilities of obtaining temperature augmentation of process water and chilling of effluent by utilization of ground water storage and transfer with conventional heat pump (chiller) technology now available. Substantial promise for this concept may exist if the site to be utilized contains the necessary ground water quantities and temp . eratures required for compatibility with the process being considered. It is quite likely that this caveat would pose no problems in instances where the Waste Heat Utilization facility were being planned in conjunction with new power plant sites as a criterion for siting. In instances were the reuse facility is being retrofitted to an existing plant the ground water concept will not be viable if the minimum requirements do not exist. 4.

WATER QUALITY The subject of water quality will address the Barnegat Bay, the intake canal, the effluent after passage through the condenser and the ground water in the a,rea. (EXHIB-.IT 1) Ground water analysis, although not specified in the scope of services,- has been included as indications are that, for some of the processes of heat transfer included in this report, the use of fresh water or natural Bay Water is preferable to the direct use of the nuclear plant'. effluent. The specific processes referred to are in the production of. food products for human consumption. The hesitancy to utilize the effluent directly is related to the Delaney Amendment to the Pure Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which reads in part,@ "fail to establish that the proposed use of the food and the additive, under the conditions of use to be specified in the regulation, will be safe; provided, that no, additives shall be deemed to be safe if it is found to induce cancer when ingested by man or anima.1, or if it is found, after tests which are appropriate for the evaluation of the safety of food additived, to induce cancer in man or animal, except this proviso shall not apply with respect to the use of a substance as an ingredient of feed for animals which are raised for food production, if the Secretary finds M that, under the conditions of use in feeding specified in proposed labeling and reasonably certain to be followed in practice. Such additive will not adversely affect the animals for which such feed is intended, and (ii) that no residue of the additive will be found (by methods of examination prescribed or approved by the Secretary by regulations, which regulations shall,no+ be subject to subsections (f) and (g) in any edible- portion of such animal after slaughter or in any food yielded by or derived from the living animal; Research, to date, has established a link between radiation'e xpQsur( and cancer incidence, without sa- Isfactorily eslablishinci a risk re- lationship quantitatively, the net result being that the Delaney Amendment: ."is currently 'acting as an effectiv, check to the use of nuclear plant effluents for aquaculture". (Ref. I p. 31) 5. The same restrictions would hold true for uses.other than aquaculture where the food chain is involved. The direct use of effluent from facilities, other than nuclear, are presently being utilized, as described in later sections of this report, These restrictions, on the use of nuclear power plant cooling water, lead to the concept of a dual loop process. The loops separate the direct usages from the food production processes which require an intermediate exchange. The examples below demonstrate the processes applicable to each loop. A. Direct use of +he effluent for: 1. Soil Warming 2. Greenhouse Warming Applications 3. Some drying operations utilizing water to air heat pumps 4. Direct Radiant Transfers B. Power plant effluent to pass throuqh a heat pump (c hiller) surrounded by 53*F fresh well water, the fresh water is to then be utilized in food production such as: 1. Greenhouses - Warm water irrigation and/or hydroponics 2. Fresh Water Aquaculture 3. Food Processing 4. Mariculture - utilizing the fresh water supply in conjuction with heat exchangers to modify the temperature of the Bay Water collected before or at the power plant intake. Limited samples of the undiluted effluent are presented on page 8 of this Final Report, but extensive data could not be obtained for inclusion in Volumns 11 and 111, due to the extended shut down of the OCNGS. Temperature, however, is an important parameter for which data was available. It is shown graphically in Exhibit 11. The temperature curves-shown represent the following: 1. The average temperature of the intack canal over a three (3) year period; the temperature was recorded daily. 6. 2. The temperature of the e ffluent from the OCNGS. The temperature was taken daily. Only those periods when the plant was in operation were used in averages. Periods of operation at less than 100% power generation capability were in- cluded in the averages to insure a more realistic estimate of the available Delta T. 3. The curve designated as OCNGS Delta T +5 is in- cluded because indications from Jersey Central Power and Light Company (JCP&L) are that the effluent temperature could possibly be raised by 5*F without causing undue back pressure on the turbine. By increasing effluent more than 5*F a back pressure is developed which can result in the loss of I megawatt of generation capability for each I*F rise in effluent temperature. The cost of the lost power would have to be absorbed by the energy park and could seriously affect the economic viability of the park. 4. The curve shown for the proposed FR#I Station is theoretical and assumes the plant runn-ing at 100% capability at the design Delta T of 28*F. An examination of Exhibit I shows the chemical properties of the Barnegat Bay, the intake (fanal, the effluent, and the ground water. Various sources were contacted, for information, to presentas complete a report as possible within budgetary limits, these sources included: 1. State of New Jersey Division of Water Quality 2. Jersey Central Power & Light Company 3. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Incorporated Exhibit I is a composite of information supplied generated by these sources. Temperature data is shown on Exhibit 11 and ph data is shown on Exhibit 111. This investigation of water quality and quantity leads to the following conclusions: 1. Sufficient effluent can be supplied to meet the volumetric needs of the proposed energy;park. See "Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diaorams". (Exhibits IV & V) 7.

Sufficient deep well fresh water is available to meet the need for make up water; i.e., water that, due to process contamination, cannot be recycled in the system. (See Appendix E) 3. Temperature augmentation sufficient to supply constant temperature fresh water as a source of commercially usable heat is possible through the use of heat pumps (chillers), solar, methane and extraction of process heat where applicable. 4. This configuration of the central heat source effec- tively isolates the effluent from potential for introduction into the food chain in aquaculture or mariculture applications. 5. The quality of the various water sources in some instances will require treatment. The treatment will not be of such a level of sophistication as to pre- clude its use. 6. The loss of heat during transmission has been deter- mined to be virtually negligible. Review of the Bruce Nuclear Power Devel.opment project in Ontario, Canada, illustrates this point. The Bruce project transports effluent 9.94 miles in 52" uninsulated steel pipe at a rate of 29,587 gpm with a loss of 1.6% of the heat, and experiences a temperature drop of 0.72'F. The proposed Forked River complex would improve upon the figures sited above. The im- provement would include the use of insulated fiber- glass pipe and the reduction of pumping distances to the neighborhood of 1000 feet. The expected loss in heat under these conditions would be about 0.75% or a temperature drop of 0.15'F. The minimal heat loss in the transmission of the effluent demonstrated in the Bruce Park project and calculated for the Forked River complex indicate that a careful economic analysis, at the design stage, will be required to justify any insulating or other measures to reduce heat loss. Due to the complexity and specialized nature of water quality evaluation and testing a special consultant, Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc., of Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey, was secured. The consultants report is attached in its entirety along with a curriculum vitae for Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc., as Appendix E to this report. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. has been utilized previously by Northwest Engineering, Inc., and were selected based on past performance and demonstrated ability. 11. I I i i I I I I .* 11. WASTE HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEMS I .. I I I I t I II I I I I II. WASTE HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEM OPTIONS A. CENTRAL HEAT SOURCE The central heat @ource shown on the"Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagrams" (Exhibits IV & V), will accomplish the amelioration of some factors which are identified concerning water quality, specifically: 1. Only relatively low temperature applications can be considered if additional heat sources or methods of augmentation are not incorporated. 2. No single plant application is practical if auxiliary heat sources and/or storage facilities are not availablefor periods of.suspended plant operation. 3. Probable energy source costs for alternative systems would destroy any economic advantages of Waste Heat Utilization unless the alternative source could be generated largely as an integral function of the utilization process without the requirement for external fuel purchases per se. 4. Food production activities are presently precluded from direct contact between any product for human consumption or any product to be fed to or incorporated in a product for human consumption, from direct contact with cooling water due to possible presence of radio nuc I ides. The proposed central heat source consists of a-central water to water heat pump (chiller) which will accomplish a transfer of heat from the power plant effluent to the deep well fresh water. The cooled effluent will be returned to one of two areas depending on its temperature at discharge: 1. Directly to the Intake Canal for recycling. 2. Directly to the dilution pumps or proposed cooling tower for further cooling and subsequently to the discharge canal. The heated fresh well water will be pumped into a rock con- tainment. Without specific design parameters it is not possible to state with any certainty the amount of temperature augmentation and corresponding reduction in thermal pollutant that will occur in the heat p'ump (chiller), however, temperature augmentation in the range of 30 to 50*F appear reasonable. Total thermal pollution reduction 12.

A central heat pump (chiller) operating with coefficient of performance (COP) in the range of 3.0 to 5.0 will supply the temp- erature augmentation necessary to supply the various processes. "Heating units are rated by their coefficient of performance (COP). This is based on electrical-resistance heating in which one kilowatt provides 3412 Btu in an hour, for a COP of one. A heat pump not only produces heat, but moves it from one place to another, so the COP of an air-source system can be much higher than one--even' three, when,the outside temperature is around 50*F. In other words, for each watt of electricity consumed by the unit, three watts of heat energy are available for warming; . . . (Ref. 12, p. 78) Initially, a great deal of the heat will be transferred to the rocks, however, when the system stabilizes the rocks will become a heat storage mechanism. Based on t he following calculations, one ton of rock will store 8;800 Btuls. Design Parameters: 1. Specific Heat of Stone = 0.2 cal/gm C' or 0.22 Btu/Ib.F'. 2. Delta T = assumed 20'F over ambient. 3. One Ton (2,000 lbs.) of well sorted rock. Heat Storage Capacity Hs = S x Delta T x vol = 0.22 x 20*F x 2000 = 8,800 Btu/Ton Assuming, a 100 ft. diameter x 20 ft. deep heat sink with a 50 ft. diameter center section for heat pump (chiller) installation, the resultant torus would accomodate 7,050 Tons of rock assuming 20% voids. 15. The heat storage capacity would then be 62,140,000 Btuls. Rock was chosen as the storage medium, due to low cost and availability, the use of higher specific heat materials, of course, would increase the storage capacity significantly. This type of determination would require an economic analysis beyond the scope of this project.* Should the cost of a heat pump (chiller), large enough to handlo the established volume of effluent delivered from the power plant, be prohibitive, the effluent could be circulated through th.e rock con- tainment area in protected heat exchangers. The fresh water in the rock containment area would be heated by the effluent and only that portion of the fresh water to be delivered to the processes would be passed through the ground water stabilized heat pump (chiller) for the purpose of augmentation. See "Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagram"(8) (Exhibit V). This would effect the design parameters of the heat pump (chiller) as follows: 1. Since the transfer would involve only fresh water, conventional, stock materials could be used in its construction. 2. The size of the unit could be reduced significantly. As the temperature of the stored fresh water increases the temper- ature differential between it,and the effluent would narrow and less heat would be transferred from the effluent. The final recommended, configuration of the central heat source will be addressed in the final segment of this report. The energy park diagram also shows the possible inclusion of a methane heat augmentation capability. If the energy consuming processes have as waste products animal or vegatable wastes that are appropriate for methane generation or if a crop such as Water Hyacinth is cultivated, to polish certain effluents, and can be harvested, periodically to suoply *However, see Appendix F for a discussion of other storage material. 16, the raw materials for methane generation, the initiation of these processes using the efflu ent would effectively supply.heat for process water temperature augmentation. Solar augme ntation is a viable option which varies in effectiveness with-the season of the year. The coordination of scheduled power plant shut downs for periodic maintenance to coincide with the months of highest solar effectiveness would be necessary to fully realize the benefit of Solar augmentation. Cooperation and coordination between the Utility and the Energy Park management is critical and cannot be stressed enough. Without this relationship, the chances of success are negligible. The water quality in each instance presents some problems which impact on its use or the design of the various components of the energy park. The Intake Water, which is common to the OCNGS and the proposed FR#I plant, is salt water. This fact is most important for design consideration. The condensers at the OCNGS use titanium tubes because of the corrosive nature of the salt water. This will add considerable expense to any heat pump (chiller) which may be designed for use in the central heat source. The effluent is also routinely treated with chlorine to prevent biofouling. The fact that the effluent is chlorinated will not be a consideration since the effluent would not come In direct contact with food products or food production processes. The chlorination would be beneficial as it would serve the same function in the heat pump (chiller) or other direct uses as it does in the power plant cooling system. The deep well water characteristically has a high 'percentage of iron, an acidic pH and in some cases a percentage of Hydrogen Sulphide which emits a foul odor. The mo st serious problem is the excessive iron 17. content, which could bulld up in the heat pump (.--chiller) therby in- creasing the total dynamic pumpi-ng head, which w-ould necessitate design of the heat pump Cchiller) in such a way that excessive scaling, causing total dynamic head buildup, could be removed without undue interruption of service. It is probable that a duplicate heat pump (chiller) for standby service would be a requirement under any circumstances and this would further mitigate this contingency. A second alternative would be the capability to substitute heat sink water during periods of-heat pump (chiller) shutdown, however, this option would not address the possible need for constant cooling of the effluent. The adjustment of pH is readily accomplished with the injection of Lime Soda into the water. This is a reasonable treatment process and would not increase costs appreciably. The deep well water has a temperature of 53'F which remains stable; i.e.,, does not fluctuate seasonally. 18. I I I I I I I . 1 111. POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL USES OF EFFLUENT I I I I I I I I I I 'I i A. AQUACULTURE AND MARICULTURE - DIRECT AND INDIRECT USAGES Aquaculture and Mariculture are considered applicable to the Forked River site and are included on the proposed flow diagrams A and B. It is necessary to point out that these processes are high intensity in nature and require expertise in areas such as disease control, feeding procedures and water quality such as oxygenation, to keep mortality rates,within acceptable limits. The choice of sp ecies raised will impact on the economic viability New Jersey has many streams and lakes which are stocked with trout, for recreationa purposes, and the State could have an interest in this area, as a State hatchery, in the future. Recent developments in the rearing of lobsters in containment, could provide a product which is highly desirable and could possibly show a profit potential in relation to existing commercial lobstering techniques. Oyster farming has already shown economic viability at the Lilco Long Island facility and could be considered for the Lacey Township Park, along with seed clam pro- duction. "The application of heated waters to aquaculture in temperate regions'could result in several benefits: 1. A lengthened or year-around growing season. 2. Optimization of the aquaculture facility with resultant reduction in production costs. 3. Production of Commercial Species near marketing sites. 4. Production of tropical organism in temperate climates. 5. Enhanced rates of maturation and metamorphasis so that increased survival is experienced in early life stages. Optimum temperatures differ substantially among cultured species. For example: Species Optimum Temperature Rainbow Trout 59OF Yellow Perch 720F Channel Catfish 840F Freshwater Orawns 840F 19. Changes of a few degrees above or below optimum can have signigicant effects on food consumption, food conversion and growth rate. For example, a 9*F re-. duction from optimum of 84'F reduces by almost one- half the growth rate of channel catfish and reduces the food conversion efficiency by on-fifth".

"One of the oldest users of Power Plant Waste Heat in the United States is the Long Island Oyster Farm. Since the mid 1960's ' the firm has produced American Seed Oysters Utilizing effluent from Long Island Lighting Company's (Lilcos) Northport Plant. Seed Oysters are produced to stock the company's 100,000 acres of Oyster Beds in Long Island Sound; and the use of heated water in the hatchery enhances growth, reducing the period to market size from 4 to 6 years to 2 to 5 years. Hatchery facilities are located adjacent to the discharge canal of a 3-unit 1,125 MW fossil-fuel power plant. The 4.5 acre discharge lagoon has a flow of 470,000 gpm during normal operation with a Delta T of 25' to 28*F. An additional pumping capacity of 459,000 gpm for diluting plant discharge with ambient temperature water to keep discharge temperatures below 90*F. No chlorine or other biocides are used by the power plant. The utility considered the needs of the aquaculture facility in designing and constructing the discharge lagoon". (Ref . I I, pp. 9-8, 9-9) The cooperation of the utility at the design stage of a project is critical to establishing a successful operation. The four key factors in the Lilcos operation are: 1. The fact that they have a three unit facility to insure a constant supply of heated water. (See Appendix D) 2. They are fossil fueled plants which precludes complications with the Pure Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, specifically the Delaney Amendment. 3. No Chlorine or biocides are used in the plants. 4. The cooperation of the utility was secured in the design stage. The many studies underway at the present time indicate that the biological benefits and the technical feasibility of waste heat utilization for aquaculture and mariculture are viable. The Forked River site which has an abundance of both salt; i.e., Bay Water and Fresh Water from deep wells would seem to be an ideal location for aquaculture and mariculture processes. Water treatment such as pH adjust-ment, ion exchange and temperature regulation would all appear to be well within the capabilities of existing techniques. 24. The four key factors aforementioned have relevance to the proposed FR#l if a decision is made to proceed with construct ion of a fossil fuel plant, and the cooperation o,f the utility is secured in the design stage. The OCNGS interfacing will be a retrofit and these factors, as such, cannot be addressed. Barnegat Bay is a natural protected habitat for the matura tion of oysters and clams, and other mollusks, and the local area has the work force and expertise to harvest-these products. The raising of seed clams could greatly benefit the Ocean County area. The secondary economic effects, providing m ore claming in the Bay for tourists, could be substantial. The techniques involved are analogous to oyster production and are applicable to the site. Markets for commercial applications are well established and the necessary transportation networks are defined. The present studies indicate that indirect use of waste heat; i.e., transfer of heat through heat exchangers, is too expensive for commercial aquaculture and mariculture ventures. The economic viability of projects using direct effluent flows, such as the Gallatin Catfish Project conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority, have not been able to demonstrate a profit potential to date, even though the interfacing techniques are relatively simple. The inclusion of heat exchangers in the interfacing could add considerable cost and seriously reduce the benefit to cost ratio. However, by integrating aquaculture and mariculture facilities in the concept of an energy park, the interfacing costs are shared by all the users of the heated waters and this may bring the economic feasibility into the realm of practicality. 25. An area which will require further study is the possible use of the end product of alcohol production, (See Gasohol-Alcohol) a grain slurry, as a feedstock for trout and carp. Presently the pel.lets, as supplied to fish hatcheries, such as the one in Hackettstown, New Jersey, use a formula which incorporates vitamins, qrain and various admixtures as a total diet for the trout. It is possible that much of the protein, as contained in the grain after fermentation, could be supplied either as a direct feedstock or marketed to commercial suppliers of these pellets. At present, with the proposed system for the Forked River site, aquaculture and mariculture merit further investigation with particular emphasis on the following: 1. Interfacing Techniques a. Temperature control b . P i p i ng c . Mixing d. Controls and monitoring devices Water Treatment a. pH adjustment b. Metallic ion removal C. Fi Itering d. Waste water treatment or disposal 3. Utility-Commercial Venture Relationships a. Economic b. Legal implications C. Role of Regulatory Agencies It would be advantageous to continue to monitor the studies that are in commercial or pilot stages that are considered applicable to the Forked River site. As more data is generated, future studies could further evaluate the viability of aquaculture and mariculture to this proposed project. 26. B. GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION The use of waste heat in green houses appears to have much potential for several reasons. "Greenhouse production is very energy-intensive. Fuel costs may comprise 30 to 50 percent of total production costs in colder climates. High costs and limited avail- ability of fossil fuels for heating are having a serious adverse impact on the greenhouse industry; therefore, a low-cost alternate energy source is needed. Temperature requirements for greenhouse production, normally 10* to 18'C minimum, are in the range that can theoretically be maintained with thermal condenser effluent. In addition, since greenhouses normally use.or are easily adapted to use evaporative cooling systems, large complexes have potential for cooling condenser effluents during summer months to supplement, reduce, or even replace cooling tower requirements, or to improve cooling efficiency of ,existing cooling towers at specific power plants". (Ref. l,p.3) Several utility companies, in both the United States and Canada, are currently investigating the creation of a warm water utility to make commercial warm water available to greenhouse growers. To date, many greenhouse prototypes have been)constructed to operate on waste heat, or other forms of residual heat, and some commercial greenhouse growers are under long term contracts with electrical generators to purchase residual heat at a substantial savings over other fuel supplies "For instance, two growers are currently under ten, year contract with Northern States Power for supply of residual heat at $6,000 to $8,000 per acre for a full heating year. The total energy costs to these growers is approximately $18,000 to $19,000 per acre per year including extra electrical costs and back-up heating. Both growers are currently considering expansion of their existing residual heat acres". (Ref. 2, p.11) Major ongoing efforts in the United States utilizing power plant reject heat for agricultural purposes have been investigated. Each type of heating system employed will be described in the following. POROUS CONCRETE FLOOR SYSTEM (RUTGERS DESIGN) "Public Service Electric and Gas Company and Rutgers University have constructed a 7.3 x 12.2 m (24 x 40 ft.) double-layer plastic greenhouse at the Mercer Generating Station near Trenton, New Jersey. The heat exchanger 27. design is based on previous studies concerning green- house heat transfer performed at Rutgers University. The heat exchanger system includes a porous concrete floor, with the warm condenser effluent flowing through and underneath the floor. Thus, the plant growing medium is essentially surrounded by a warm water bath. In addition to providing heat for the greenhouse air, th*is system maintains the crop root zone at an elevated temp- erature. In addition to providing heat for the greenhouse air, this system maintains the crop root zone at an elevated temperature. In addition to the porous floor, a vertical plastic curtain heat exchanger will be used for additional heat input to the greenhouse. This heat exchanger uses polyethylene film draped over a PVC pipe. Warm condenser effluent water supplied to the pipe is allowed to flow onto the interior of the plastic "tent" by means of holes in the PVC header. Air in contact with the exterior of the "tent" is heated by means of natural convection. The PVC header can be raised or lowered to provide the appropriate heat transfer area. This pilot project will also utilize CELdek evaporative pads to cool the heated discharge water to determine if the greenhouse complex can function as a horizontal cooling tower". (Ref. 3, pp. 4-5) A third and important component of this heating system, especially in colder climates, is a movable curtain insulation system to reduce heat loss at night. In addition to this project, Rutgers is expanding their research in a larger scale project in Allentown, New Jersey. This will simulate power plant waste heat with larger solar collectors. The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation has constructed a facility of this design, also, in their energy park in Rutland, Vermont. This prototype is being tested and evaluated with three other greenhouse heating systems. .FIN-TUBE HEAT COIL @YSTEM The Northern States Power Company (NSP) and the University of Minnesota began investigating ways to use power plant waste heat in 1970. First studies concluded that the water temperatures from 11once-through cooling plants" were too low in Minnesota for potential beneficial uses; while water from closed-cycle plants at temperatures of 29.4*C (85*F) or above, did have potential for development. 28.

The three-year demonstration project has led the way for commercial adaptation of the concept. Presently, three commercial greenhouse operators have put 0.7 ha (1.7 acres) of greenhouses into production using waste heat from the Sherburne County Power Plant. The Sherco Greenhouse is an arch roof, gutter-connected house covered with a double layer of polyethylene. The greenhouse consists of 14 bays each 5 m (17 ft.) wide by 29 T (96 ft.) logg for a total enclosed area of about 2056 m (22,848 ft. ). The heating system consists of an air heating system and a soil heating grid. The air heating system was designed to carry 100,10 of the greenhouse heat load, while the soil heating system was designed pri'marily for crop root zone temperature control; though it does contribute somewhat to the heat requirements of the greenhouse. The air heating system consists of commercially available packaged fan-coil air handling units. Warm water is circulated through fin- tube heat exchangers located in the fan-coil units. One fan-coil unit is located in each of the 14 bays of the greenhouse and heated air is distributed down the length of each bay in a 762 mm (30 in.) diameter perforated plastic duct. The heating system is controlled by thermostats in each bay of the greenhouse that start and stop in heating fans. Experience during the demonstration project proved that condenser waste heat available at approximately 29*C (85'F) was suitable to maintain a greenhouse growing environment, of 13 to 16*C (55 to 60*F) when outside air temperatures fell as low as -42*C (-43*F). During the first year of operation of the pipeline system serving waste heat to commercial greenhouse customers, an overall availability of service of 97% was achieved. Backup heating capacity is supplied by propane fired heaters. The first crop', planted in January, 1976, included rose bushes, tomatoes and green peppers. During subsequent plantings, the vegetables were replaced by floral crops so that the entire greenhouse was in floral production in the 1977-1978 growing season. As a result of the successful experience of the Sherco Greenhouse Project, NSP was approached by commercial operators in the spring of 1977, and asked to provide a site and warm water service to a 0.4-ha (1-acre) commercial floral operation and to a 0.08-ha (0.2-acre) commercial vegetable operation. Both commercial facilities began construction in 1977 and warm water was first sold commercially to the 0.4-ha (1-acre) floral operation in November, 1977. The smaller, 0.08-ha (0.2-acre), vegetable operation did not require warm water service until February, 1978. The annual savings in heating costs to commercial operators using waste heat have amounted to nearly $12,500/hr.- ($5000/acre) compared to conventionally heated greenhouses. 30.

(Ref. 3,pp. 1-2) EVAPORATIVE-PAD SYSTEM "The use of low-grade power plant reject heat has been investigated at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for a number of years. As part of this program greenhouse uses of this heat have been studied. These investigations have focused on evaporative-pad concepts that are capable of providing both summer cooling and winter heating. The greenhouse shown in Figure 1, is heated by pumping warm water to 4e top of the evaporative pad and allowing it to drip through the packing. As the water flows through the packing, it interacts with the air flow being drawn through the pad by the fans located at the rear of the house. In summer operation, the inlet and exhaust shutters are opened and ambient air is drawn into the pad where it is cooled and humidified. It is then cycled through the growing section and exhausted to the atmosphere. In winter operation; the inlet and exhause shutters are .partially or completely closed (depending upon ambient conditions) to conserve heat. In this mode of operation, some or all of the greenhouse air exiting from the growing section is recycled through the attic back to the pad where it is heated. Because the air is continually recycled, the humidity and the growing section hovers near 100% unless significant solar flux or dry heat is added to the air. To accomplish the latter objective a fin-tube heating coil can be added downstream of t.he pad". (Ref. 4, p. 2) Heating and coo ling of the greenhouse was initially accomplished using an aspen fiber pad. However, subsequent experimental work at ORNL indicated that CELdek*, a cooling tower packing, was a superior pad material. In 1975, CELdek replaced the aspen pads. THERMAL ENVELOPE SYSTEM "The University of Illinois has been conducting an experimental program aimed at determing the feasibility of reducing greenhouse heat losses by sprayin 97 warm condenser water over the roof of a greenhouse. They operated a 3.7 x 7.3 m (12 x 24 ft.) plastic film covered greenhouse using condenser effluent from the Vermillion Power Station, which is located near the university. The condenser water was applied_ 10 @he greenhouse roof at the flow rate of 2.5 x 10 m /s (40-gpm). At this flow rate it was possible to main- tain the greenhouse at 15'C (50*F) using 30'C (86*F) water when the ambient temperature fell to O*C (32*F). Results from this program were promising and let to a *A tradIemark of Munters Corporation, Ft.

Current efforts are directed at examining the appli- cability of this system to conventional greenhouse structures. A conventional type greenhouse is being constructed at the Baldwin Power Station near St. Louis, Missouri. The greenhouse will have two bays, each 5.3 m wide by 14.6 m long (17.5 ft. wide by 48 ft. long) and will use condenser effluent from the power station". (Ref. 3, p. 5) "Data collected were used to develop the following equation relating greenhouse temperature (G), heated water temperature (W), and outside ambient temperature (A): (G -2.07 + 0.642 W + 0.358A) This equation can be used to predict greenhouse temperature when ambient and warm water temperatures are known. For example, the minimum greenhouse temperature would be 15' C (59'F) at.an ambient Pf -6' C (21'F) using 30' C (86*F) ,water. For th2se same conditions, 2the waste heat input is about 5.9,kW/m (1.87 Btu/ r. *ft. ) of growing area, com- pared with about 0.24 kW/m (0.076 Btu/hr.'ft. ) with a conventional system. Although the heating system is very inefficient from a thermal standpoint, the system may still be economically desirable. Greater efficiencies would also be expected with larger greenhouses since the ratio of heated surface area to growing area would be less". (Ref. 5, pp. 3-34 to 3-35) UNDER SOIL HEATING SYSTEM "The Pennsylvania State University has had an active program in undersoil heating research since 1972 (8). Their program has included analytical modelin(i and experimental efforts. The experimental program included development of a 15 x 6'0 m (50 x 200 ft.) prototype soil warming field to test functions for prediction of heat transfer from buried hot-water parallel pipe networks used in their computer model. A unique feature of the prototype is the spray application of treated municipal waste water on the warmed soil to maintain efficient heat transfer and supply crop nutrients. The pipe network consists of 26 parallel 50 mm (2 in.) diameter polyethylene plastic pipes buried at a 300 mm (12 in.) depth with a 600 mm (24 in.) spacing. Warm water is supplied continuously at 38 to 40'C (100 to 104*F) from oil-fired hot-water furnace. The spray irrigation system is constructed of aluminum surface irrigation pipe. Laterals running perpendicular to the long axis of the plot are spaced every 13.3 m (44 ft.) with offset 450 mm (18 in.) high risers (for sprinklers) at 13.3 m (0.5 in.) intervals. Waste water is applied at the rate of 10 min (0.4 in.) per week in 34. biweekly applications to both the heated plot and an adjacent 15 x 30 m @50 x 100 ft.) control plot. Current research is concentrating on year-round heat dissipation capability; crop growth and development, and municipal waste water renovation questions". (Ref 3, p. 5) METHANE SYSTEM Indirectly related to the concept of an energy park is the use of methane gas as an alternate energy source. Methane gas is a by-product of the fermentation of solid waste (animal waste, sewage sludge, landfill waste) and is readily adapted to greenhouse heating. The energy park of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation has constructed and is evaluating a greenhouse 26 feet wide by 60 feet long. "In this house,- heating is provided by methane gas. Manure from about 200 dairy cows is converted to methane gas in an anaerobic digester located on the site. The gas is piped to the greenhouse by underground pipeline. Two gas unit heaters are utilized to provide the total heating of this structure. Sufficient gas will be produced to maintain maximum temp- eratures of 65'F to 70*F on a continuous basis. Because of the capability of maintaining the higher temperatures, either roses or cucumbers are suggested as ideal crops for this house". (Ref. 6, p. 3.4) In addition, a project undertaken by the Candian Government in 1978, in Saint Thomas, Ontario, has proven that recovering and utilizing landfill gas in an unprocessed state is feasible both physically and economically. This experiment involved a 21 feet by 24 feet fiberglass panelled greenhouse, heated by a conventional domestic forced air furnace "The heat requirements for the greenhouse were calculated to be 110,000 BTU per hour (116 kilojouies per hour) for the St. Thomas area. The gas furnace which was installed in the greenhouse was designed to operate on natural gas, providing an output of 160,000 BTU/hour (169 kilojoules/hour). Because of the lower quality of landfill gas, the orifice size of the furnace was enlarged. The original orifice size was No. 40 or .098 inches in diameter (.249 centimeters) which was reamed out to a drill size No. 28 or 0.1405 inches in diameter (.357 centimeters). After the orifice size was changed, a gas flow rate of 4.4 cfm (.123 cubic meters/ minute) into the furnace resulted. This converts into a heating valve of approximately 132,000 BTU/hour (139 kilojoules/hour)". (Ref. 7, pp. 66-68) 35.

Methane gas recovery projects are also ongoing in Ednomton, Alberta, and St. Cecile de Milton, Quebec, in Torrance, Mountaingate, Industry, Palos Verdes, and Mountain View, California. The significance of methane gas to the project will be explained in further detail in the "Biological Recycling" section. SOLAR SYSTEM The Vermont Yankee project is also evaluating a solar heated greenhouse. "This greenhouse is equipped to store excess solar energy in gravel storage benches located inside the structure. The heat is recovered from the gravel storage, a commercial water-to-air heat exchanger is utilized. A backup 9.5 kw electric resistance heater is included in the design". (Ref. 6, p. 3.2) HEAT PUMP SYSTEM The fourth type of greenhouse being evaluated at Vermont Yankee is one which utilizes a heat pump. "The same basic greenhouse design is utilized without the solar storage units. In this house, a water-to-air heat pump is utilized with a constant source of 70*F water supplied by the power plant. The operating co- efficient of performance (COP) for the water-to-air heat pump is higher than for the air-to-air units now commonly used. In addition to the heat pump, one water-to-air heat exchanger (commercial unit) is utilized for base load heating. The heat pump will be utilized as an assist during the coldest operating periods. There is no other backup heating provided for this house, as the heat pump is designed to meet the greenhouse design temperature requirements for the outdoor design temp- erature of -15*F". (Ref. 6, p. 3.3) GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES In Canada, the Saskatchewan Power Corporation and Tri-Ted Growth Systems, Inc., have developed three systems for utilizing exhaust gases for heating greenhouses. One system used exhaust gas from a natural gas-fired turbine while the other two use coal-fired boiler exhaust. 37 .

"Agricultural uses of nuclear power plant reject heat have been studied in France since 1972. These inves- tigations have included studies of a double-wall plastic mulching technique, utilization of heat pumps, and outdoor soil heating. An experimental greenhouse at the Grenoble Nuclear Center has been used to determine the technical feasi- bility of the doubl2-wall plas@ic mulch technique. This greenhouse is 250 m (2700 ft. ) and is covered with a polyethylene film. The greenhouse is heated by allowing, the condenser effluent to flow at a very low speed inside double-wall polyethylene mulching placed directly on the soil. During the first year of operation, this provided a heat exchanger surface of 52% of the greenhouse floor area. In these cond.itions, a temperature of 9*C (48'F) was main- tained in the greenhouse with an outside temperature of -11*C (12'F) and water at 33*C (91*F). After the initial experiments a new perforated mulching led to an increase in the ratio of heat exchange area to floor area to over 80% without affecting crop density. Using this new mulch'the following crops were feasible: 1. Lettuce with water at 18-200C 2. Tomatoes with water at 25-31'C 3. Cucumbers with water at 33-35'C The use of heat pumps to boost condenser effluent temperatures was studied on a semi-industrial scale 2 near the SaW Laurent dex Eaux Power Plant. A 3000 m (32,300 ft. ) greenhouse was constructed in 1973-1974 and rented to a commercial grower. Results from this study indicate that normal crop production rates can be maintained but the heat pumps must be carefully designed and controlled to be economically viable. A 10-ha (25-acre) agricultural-forestry site at the Cadacache Nuclear Research Center has been used to study open-circuit irrigation and undersoil heating using power plant reject heat. Open-circuit irrigation is used in the forestry section utilizing a system of sprinklers and gutters. Warm water is applied to the ground through- out the year. For conifer and poplar trees the increase in production is approximately 25% by weight per year. Results from the undersoil heating experiments have shown yields three to four times normal for strawberry plants. Adaptation of priority industrial crops (soya and late varieties of corn) has also proven successful". (Ref. 3, pp. 6-7) -In West Germany, undersoil heating experiments in greenhouses and open fields have been performed since 1961. Since 1974, experimental systems have been constructed using power plant reject heat. Results from these studies indicate yield increases for corn of up to 57%, winter wheat up to 40%, and spring potatoes up to 60%. 39. "Two types of systems a,re being developed in the Soviet Union. The first'technique distributes a layer of water 30-40 mm (1.2-1.6 in.) over the greenhouse roof while the second uses dry heat ex- changers located in a room adjacent to the green- house. The major difference between these designs and those used in the United States is that they have been developed not only to supply heat to the greenhouse in winter but also to provide adequate heat rejection capability for the power station in the summer. The water-filled roof greenhouse concept is being investigated using a 0.6 ha (1.5 acre) greenhouse located near a 300 MW power station. Condenser outlet water is distributed over the roof by special water lines. The insulating layer of water at 18 to 20'C (65 to 68'F) reduges the heat demand from 6 to 8 MW/ha (8.2 to 10.9 x IR Btu/hr-acre) to 0.7 to 0.9 MW/ha (1.0 to 1.2 x 10 Btu/hr-acre). During summer operation the condenser effluent is supplied to the central zone of the greenhouse roof where it is sprayed using special nozzles. Water cooling occurs both in the spray and in the layer of water running along the roof. Thus, in addition to providing adequate cooling for the condenser, the water acts as a solar filter. Short wave radiation, necessary for photosynthesis, is transmitted to the greenhouse while a significant portion of the long- wave thermal spectrum is absorbed by the water. The air-heated greenhouse uses a finned-tube heat exchanger located in an annex structure. The con- denser cooling water is supplied to the heat exchanger where it heats air supplied from the outside, the greenhouse, or a mixture of the two. The air flow is regulated by the greenhouse fans and a series of special louvers. During summer operation, ventilating air taken from the ambient passes through the green- house and then to the heat exchanger. During winter- operation, greenhouse air is circulated between the heat exchanger annex and the greenhouse to maintain proper growing temperatures. The warmed air is distributed in the greenhouse by means of performated poylethylene tubes". (Ref. 3, pp. 7-8) 40. C. GASOHOL- (ALCOHOL) The production of Alcoho) is an area which we feel has great potential. The financial viability of Alcohol production depends, to a large extent, on the ability to process and sell the end product of the grain fermentation process, The energy balance for Alcohol pro- duction is shown on the following chart. (Exhibit VI) For a more detailed discussion of the four (4) steps outlined below refer to Appendix C. Step I - Grain preparat-ion is a very low energy user representing only 20% of heat requirements. Cooking is. accomplished in either a Batch System or a continous system. In either case, the Slurry must be exposed to temperatures in the range of 250* - 300*F, this is accomplished with steam. The exposure to these temperatures is for a very short time; i.e., 5 minutes and this step is considered a low energy step. Step 11 - The fe rmentation cycle is basically a refrigeration process. The normal heat of Fermentation would result in a temperature in the range of 140'F, whereas the optimum temperature which must be maintained is 85' to 90*F. A portion of deep well water may be passed through this process and act to keep fermentation processes at their optimum temperature and pick up heat to be transferred to the main heat source for the park. Step III - The concentration, rectifying process operates at a temperature range of. 170*F to 270'F as shown in the accompanying chart, this process requires aDc)roximately 42,'jo of the energy requirements. Step IV - The final process is the most applicable to the utilization of waste heat. The drying cycle requires 38,"-' of 4 1 the total heat requirement and a large capital investment for specialized equipment, at the present time. The Slurry consists of 10% solids, 90% water, the final configuration for the end product should be 90% Solids, 10% Liquid. The use of power plant effluent may make the use of centrifuges and other capital intensive water extraction methods.unnecessary, by supplying hot dry air for evaporation via a water to air heat pump and/or fin coil heater immersed in the slurry using the power plant effluent to accelerate evaporation of the un- wanted,water component. One of the possible heat sources being investigated for inclusion in a later report, is the use of a water to air heat pump with water supplied by the central heat source. The water s6urce.heat pump uti-itzing constant temperature fresh water will supply hot dry air suitab.le for drying operations. The efficiency of the water source heat pumps, depending on the characteristics of the water supplied can be in the range of 3.0 - '5.0 COP. The energy oalance for the various processes, if known, can be converted to design parameters by computer programs such as the "SEE" System by Singer. The use of water source heat pumps will be further investigated as applicable to the individual and overall processes as more specific data are developed. Mention was made to the use of grain as feedstock for aquaculture. The liquid vehicle or Slurry water as extracted by mechanical means may be useful as a nutrient solution to support the growth of algae which is the main feedstock for clams and oysters in the mariculture process. It is hoped that the algae would act to "polish" the Slurry water to facilitate its disposal at the same time as it provides a necessary food source for the mariculture operations. 42.

BIOLOGICAL RECYCLING '0 There have been numerous schemes to recover and recycle agricultural residues for its energy potential. This section will consider the pertinent projects on waste'recovery which have a potential for waste heat application in a related energy park. Projects which use livestock manures as a source of fertilizer or nutrients for aquatic growth are the most common types. "The increasing costs of commercial fertilizers, increasing public awareness of environmental pollution., and other restrictions on farming are expected to ,complicate manure disposal problems and place more .emphasis on nutrient recovery in the future. Land application, direct refeeding of wastes, and aquacultural fertilization are three methods of nutrient recovery being intensively studied. Land application, the traditional route of disposal, may still be the best alternative if sufficient land is available and longer decomposition times are required. Various pretreatment and storage applications may be practiced prior to land application: aerobic lagoons, anaerobic lagoons, faculative lagoons, oxidation ditches, composting and methane production". (Ref. 8, pp. 4-2) Having examined many such projects it must be concluded that those which concern the production of biogas have the most energy potential. Currently, the U.S. ERDA is involved in several large scale efforts to demonstrate the feasibility of adapting the anaerobic fermentation of sewage solids and animal wastes to the full scale production of methane gas. A three million dollar demonstration plant is now under consideration for a 10,000 head beef feedlot operation and Cornell University has been given authority to demonstrate methane production technology for dairies at its research facility in Hartford, New York. A most successful project, to date, has been the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation's methane generator. The process begins with the daily delivery of the manure from 200 dairy cows to the methane- 44. gene'rati ng holding tank at the nuclear plant site. "This solid waste is then deposited into a premix tank where 60'F water from the heat exchangers is mixed with it to create a sludge. Many variables, such as temp- erature, organic residence time, and solids retention period, affect the volatility of the bacterial anaerobic fermentation process. In the cold weather of the Vermont climate, the temperature of the manure exposed to the winter climate may be as low as 35*F. The temperature of the sludge must be increased to produce methane. if no external heat is utilized, the majority of the energy of the decomposing manure would be used to maintain the natural reaction temperature of 95*F, thereby greatly reducing the methane gas production. However, by utilizing the nuclear plant's discharge water to preheat the residue, efficiency of the bacterial fermentation process is increased. The external heat source will maintain a sludge temp- erature of + 65'F in the premix tank. The sludge is then pumped through a heat exchanger which uses methane gas to increase the sludge temperature an additional 300F. This supplemental heating is done to increase the rate of the digestive process. At 95*F the sludge enters the digester where natural fermentation processes change the liquid to methane gas. The gas will not only serve to heat one of the expermental greenhouses, but will also supply supplemental heat to the sludge water. Any excess gas would be utilized to heat.other facilities. The remaining sludge effluent is held in a storage holding pond for a specified length of time before being distributed to farm fields as fertilizer". IRef, 6, pp* 1*4 - 1,11 This system utilized mesophilic bacteria in the anaerobic digestion process. By providing supplemental heat, the generation time for the methane gas was cut nearly in half. The optimum temperature for mesophilic bacteria is approaching 113'F. If temperatures of 113'F to 145'F could be attained, thermophilic bacteria could be employed, and thereby increase the process efficiency by two to three times. A number of other methane-related projects have been referred to in the "Greenhouse Production" section. The capturing of methane gas from decomposing sanitary landfills with the purpose of greenhouse heating, soil warming or space heating has proven successful in those previously noted passive projects. 45. The availability of raw materials in quantity, is critical to methane production feasibility. In the Ocean County area, which does not have large concentrations of farming, the cooperation of county agencies, such as the Ocean County Sewerage Authority or the County Solid Waste Administration, is necessary to provide the raw materials for methane generation, in conjunction with the fish waste generate d on site. The end result of the digestion of sewera ge could be a supply of usable fertilizer for either commercialization or enrichment of the soils in the Pine Barrens, and the reduction of solid wastes could result in a supply of compost which could be used for the same applications as the treated sludge. Further research on the controlling of the evironment with supplemental waste heat from sources such as power plant waste water will prove significant in future methane production projects. 46. 1, POULTRY INDUSTRY In the investigation of the Poultry Industry, Perdue Farms in Accomac, Virginia, were contacted, Selection of this industry was prompted by the fact 1hat'the SIC Industrial listing revealed that 100% of the Poultry Dressing Industry utilized water under 212*F. The most used process water, by Pe rdue, is presently heated to approximately 136' - 140*F and is used in the scalding operation. Although this water is within the temperature range which this study assumes would be delivered to potential customers, the logistics of the business would preclude locating outside an area such as the Delmarva Peninsula. The proximity of the food source; i.e., soybean and corn and the volume of poultry processed precludes.on-site growing. At present, Chickens are grown by private contractors, picked up and processed by Perdue Farms at their Accomac, Virginia Facility. In summation, the poultry business, on a viably economic scale, would not be able to locate on the site, Lacey Township, due to the symbiotic relationship of the poultry production with available feed and the processing facility. Two general areas of possible interest were the rendering operation and grain, specifically soybean, processing. It is not possible to address these areas, in specific, within the restrictions of this report. 47 F.. CHEMICAL AND PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY .Research into the possible use of low grade heat in the chemical and/or petrochemical industry proved somewhat discouraging because of their need for much higher temperatures in their processes. As a matter of fact, many industries are faced with the problem of dissipating large quantities of their own process heat, which in most cases is of a higher temperature than our source. A specific example of this is the styropor plant of BASF Wyandott Company in Jamesburg, New Jersey, which discharges 50 gpm of process waste water at temperatures of 230'F in 13 minute bursts at various intervals in their process. They are making attempts to modulate these cooling waters so that some type of recycling may be incorporated. There has been no success, to date. Along the same lines, a large effort has been made towards power recovery in the petroleum industry. Specifically, many fluid catalytic cracker units in oil refineries presently under construction will utilize power recovery systems which recover high-temperature regenerator flue gases. One of the largest operating expenses in a cracker is the cost of the horsepower to drive the regenerator air blower. Such power recovery systems preserve and reuse the energy otherwise lost in the flue gasses by putting it back into the refinery operation, thus significantly reducing power requirements from outside utility sources. An example of one of the more recent power recovery units now in operation is a 17,500 hp unit at Amoco's Whiting, Indiana Refinery, which is saving the owners approximately 140 million Btu per hour. This is equivalent to heating 7,000 homes in the Chicago area in the winter. 48. A 15POOO hp power recovery system has also been retrofitted to .an existing fluid catalytic cracker unit at the Pasadena Texas Refinery, of Crown Central Petroleum, which has an estimated savings of approximately 80 million Btu's per hour. Although these power recovery units may not be directly applicable to this study, it is a subject worth investigating, in the future, with relation to possible recovery of waste heat from flue gases in the power plants. 49. G. CO-GENERATION THROUGH CLOSED CYCLE GAS VAPORIZATION The possibility of utilizing waste heat to co-generate electricity by the use of closed cycle gas vaporization has also been researched. The present bulk of research, on this process, is being conducted in the field of Geothermal recovery. The two (2) systems reviewed are, direct-flash and Binary Cycle technology. The Binary Cycle technology is being investigated primarly at the Herber Project in Valles Caldera, New Mexico by D.O.E., Public Service Company of New Mexico and Union Oil Company, of California. "At Herber, brine is pumped from 12 production wells at the center of the reservior and delivered to heat ex- changers at approximately 360*F and will be returned to the reservoir periphery at about 160'F. Because 80%, of the reservoir heat is actually contained in solid material, the re-injected brine will continuously sweep the reservoir or heat as it flows toward the drawn-down center to be pumped again for another heat extraction cycle. The possibility of declining temperature is very real. However, by altering the properties of the working fluid this possibility can be hedged. With temperatures too low for direct-flash approach the second fluid vaporizes at a much lower temperature than water. A surface heat exchanger transfers the heat from the geothermal water to the working fluid which vaporizes and is piped to a turbine.. At Herber,.the working fluid initial design is a mixture of isobutene 90/00 and isopentane 10% delivered to the turbine at 300*F and 575 psi. Even though by changing the proportions of the two hydrocarbons, the molecular weight of the fluid can be increased, enhancing its kinetics so that reduced heat input has the least adverse effect on turbine performance and power output". (Ref. 9, p. 10) The temperatures involved are significantly above those with which we are dealing; In the case of direct flash technology, the temperature must be above 410*F and were not considered. It appears that, given the present State-of-the-Art, the utilization of power plant waste heat is not applicable to this process. 50. Based on the availability and quantity of the heated waste water at the present Oyster Creek site, the indeterminate status of the Forked River Unit #1 Power Plant, and the over-abundance of technical information available, on this broad subject of Waste Heat Utilization, it is necessary to make certain assumptions which will help unify and focus the direction which this study will pursue: 1. Public reaction and industry reluctance discovered in preliminary investigations is proving to be a serious limitation to using power plant discharge water directly unless overwhelming precautionary measures can be demonstrated. The prohibition of this type use by the Delaney Amendment renders this consideration moot. 2. The economics of systems utilizing waste water, in the past, have proven marginally profitable without the use of heat exchangers and break-even or below pro- fitability wi-th the use of heat exchangers. Escalatinq fuel costs are changing this to a potentially profitable situation. 3. Determining the size of the smallest commercially viable project in relation to interfacing costs is critical and will be addressed in further reports. 4. The projects having attained the most success to date, and containing the most potential, are those which maximize cascading; i.e., energy parks with several varied components, that, extract heat in a direct ratio to the heat available. 5. The reliability of the OCNGS (downtime and seasonal temperature variations) proves to be the most limiting factor. Without multiple units and/or higher temp- eratures with heat storage capability, the available waste heat from the power plant will require its users r to provide independent sources of supplementary heat, thereby lowering its desirability. Having accepted these findings we must examine alternate uses of this reject heat which will fit with the areas acceptable land uses so as to maxi'mize the long range potential of this otherwise neglected energy source. The following table reflecting those processes pre- viously examined will summarize findings to date. (Exhibit VII) An examination of the heat requirements listed will help define the cascading temperature design. The designs shown on the "Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagrams", could prove to be an economical, -environmentally sound and energy efficient approach to the utilization of power plant waste heat. The key note of the approach is to take advantage of present technology and the available resources of Forked River, and to transform that into a concept with a universal application. All proposed systems to be incorporated will utilize documented and proven technology. The concept is outlined in the flow chart on the following page. The "heart" of the proposed system i*s the construction of a central heat source which will use the power plant discharge water as the heat exchanger input into either one large or a series of staged heat pumps (chillel-S). (Exhibits IV and V) This central heat source via the heat pumps will provide large quantities of hot water in the.range of 80*F to 140*F to the heat storage; i.e., rock containment area. The process water to be heated 52.

The efficiency of these heat pumps can be improved dramatically with the controlled water temperature input. The proposed system will attempt to attain a continuous coefficient of performance in the range of 3.0 to 5.0. The flow diagrams, which outline the proposed con- figuration of the energy park, show additional temperature augmentation capability through the use of solar collectors and methane gas fired heaters. These features will be addressed at a later date when sufficient design parameters have been developed. 56 I I I I I i I IV. EVALUATION OF DESIGN OPTIONS I I I I I I I I I I I I A. Open vs. Closed Loop Characteristics The previous sections of this report have served to define the applicable processes that could lend them- selves to the Forked River site, keeping in mind the most efficient use of the water involved, both from the standpoint of heat utiliz ation and quantity available. For purposes of clarity the definitions of a closed loop and open loop, in this report, are as follows: Closed Loop The subject water experiences no chemical or biological pollution that could render it unacceptable for reuse in the central heat source or in other processes. The water may be subject to energy transfer; i.e., temperature modification and based on the resultant temperature may be: 1. Retained and reused for progress ,ively lower temperature processes within the park. 2. The fresh water component could he reinjected into the aquafer for subsequent reuse. 3. The water may be returned to the central heat source for augmentation and subsequent recycling through the Energy Park system. 4. Any closed cycle water may be returned to the intake canal for recycling as condenser cooling water provided its temperature is at or below the ambient intake canal temperature 57.' The quality of the water returned to the ecosystem must be equal to, or better than, the natural water within limits as established by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Resources. The effluent from the power plant will be received at the central heat source with chemical characteristics that meet the discharge criteria established. Since no further chemical treatment is contemplated on this effluent and only the extraction of heat will be accomplished, the return of this portion of effluent for recycling in the system may be possible. The 34,000 gpm fraction of the effluent, the source for the central heat pump (chiller), could be returned, to the intake canal, for recycling as a closed loop. The same rationale ap'plies to the proposed 100,000 gpm'fraction labeled as "effluent direct uses" on the Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagrams. (Exhibits IV & V) This fraction of the effluent could be used for direct radiant transfer applications such as: 1. Soil Heating 2. Roadway and Walkway heating. 3. Supplying an On Site Fire Pond; i.e., Suction Point. 4. Some district heating depending on the temperature of the effluent and the heat demand. 58. During summer months when little or no temperature differential exists, or when in fact heat may be transferred from the hot roadway surface to the effluent the cost of circulating this. system could be counter- productive and may not extract enough heat to be economically viable. Open Loop The subject water is exposed to chemical or biological contamination and regardless of temperature must be treated either on site or by the Ocean County Central Sewer System or both. The only interest in open loop processes in this report is the volume of water that will have to be disposed of and the make up water that will have to be supplied. The Proposed Lacey Energy Park Diagrams, (Exhibit IV & V) and the Flow Chart (Exhibit VII) show a net loss of 10,000 gpm of fresh water from the aqu aculture and biological re- cycling processes. The make up water will be provided by the deep water wells as shown-. The mariculture facility shows a loss of 8,000 gpm of saline water with make up water pumped directly from the intake canal and a portion of the mariculture effluent supplying the polishing pond for algae production and harvesting. The processes previously discussed are shown on the following table with a determination as to their open or closed loop characteristics. 59.

Replacement of Cooling Tower The elimination.of the proposed cooling tower would require the utilization of an estimated 7.6 x@10 9 Btu/hr. generated by the proposed FR#l power plant, as designed. The OCNGS, in this scenario, would continue to function as it does now and would not be subject to retrofit except as a backup heat source.

Soil Heating 3.8 x 07Btu/hr. Greenhouse 1 1.0 x 08Btu/hr. Gr'eenhouse 11 2.0 x 07Btu/hr. 2.9 x 108 Btu/hr. Aquaculture 2.3 x 107 Btu/hr. Industrial 5.0 x 107 Btu/hr. Biological 1.7 x 108 Btu/hr. Fingerlings 5.0 x 106 B t u / h r . The results of these calculations show that for maximum utilization; 8 i.e., winter conditions, the energy consumption could be 6.9 x 10 Btu/hr. When these figures are extrapolated to a yearly energy demand, based on the estimated percentage of the time the processes can uti I ize the waste heat avai lable, the Btu consumption, of the 62. park, could be 4.07 x 1012 Btu/yr.. The waste heat available is 6.65 x 1013 Btu/yr. this indicated that, at peak load time; i.e., winter, the heat available will be sufficient to supply an energy park of the configuation shown above and excess heat will exist. The storage capacity designed into the central heat source, at the Lacey Park, is capable of 6.2 x 107 Btu of stored heat. It may not be feasible to store the differential of 3.3 X 13 10 Btu, therefo're, it can be concluded that in both winter and summer a surplus of heat which cannot be utilized must be returned, at a unacceptable Delta T that may require cooling before return to the ecosystem. The previous assumption; i.e., those as reported in the Watts Bar Study, are not valid for the proposed Forked River site. The usable land area* of the proposed Lacey Energy Park, is estimated at 250 acres available for subdivision and subsequent industrial development, this as opposed to 400 acres available at Watts Bar. The Lacey Energy Park will have to carefully evaluate the energy requirements of those processes previously enumerated and put special emphasis on the processes considered high enerqy users that require energy input for the highest percentage of the time. A possible energy balance for the Proposed Lacey Energy Park, using flows as shown on the Proposed Lacey Energy Park Diagrams, with the following assumptions kept in mind, could be: (Exhibits IV & V) See comments economic section Reference: Increased land area. 63. 1. Winter conditions; i.e., full process utilization will occur for approximately 146 days/year. 2. The remaining 219 days will show process utilization at the percentages of time as previously shown, in Table 11. WINTER CONDITIONS (146 days) Use GPM Delta T Heat Utilized 1.

BTU=4.6xl0 8 The figures above deal with processes utilizing heat supplied by the central heat source which utilizes 34,000 gpm, of effluent to energize the system. The closed loop direct effluent uses, shown on the flow diagrams, will utilize a portion of the effluent for soil heating, direct radiant uses and to supply a fire pond on site. Soil heating will utilize approximately, 64. 15J.000 gpm with a heat loss of 5*F or 1.3 x 10 11. BTU for winter conditions only. The fire pond; i.e., suction point, estimated at 5 acres will averag'e a utiliza tion of 200 BTU/ft2 /hr or 1.5 x 10 11 BTU for 146 days and 2.3 x 10 11 BTU for 219 days. The preceeding calculations lead to the following conclusions: 1. Waste heat available during winter conditions: (146 days) FIRM as designed, 34,000 gpm = 1.67 x 10 12 BTU OCNGS operational, 50,000 gpm = 1.67 x 10 12 BTU 2. Waste Heat Utilization of proposed energy park processes; i.e., not includin @2101000 gpm direct use fraction, could be 1.46 x 10 BTU. Sufficient heat is available from either power generating facility to energize the energy park during winter conditions utilizing approximate[ 2% of the total available heat. 3. Waste heat available during summer conditions: (219 days) FR#I as designed, 34,000 gpm = 2.51 x 10 12 BTU OCNGS operational, 50,000 gpm = 2.50 x 10 12 BTU 4. Waste Heat Utilization of prop.osed energy park processes; i.e., not includin? 100,000 gpm direct use fraction, could be 9.0 x 10 1 BTU sufficient heat is available from either power generating facility to energize the energy park during summer conditions utilizing approximately 112% of the total available heat. 5. Excess heat will be generated during winter and summe r conditions. The cooling tower must be designed to handle'the excess heat generated during the summer conditions. The heat utilization of the proposed energy park at Lacey could represent 2.1r of the total heat available, therefore, it does not appear feasible to reduce the.capacity of the proposed cooling tower by any significant amount, without more area available for industrial development and/or the identification of processes which utilize more of the heat energy available. 6. As further investigations define the capabilities of the central heat source, both from the stand-point of augmentation and storaae, higher temperatures may be possible to achieve, which could open up a whole new range of possible processes for consideration. 65. C. Alternate Heat Sources It has been determined in the previous reports that given the reliability of nuclear power generating facilities and the need for periodic maintenance shut downs it is highly desirable to have two (2) heat sources; i.e., power generating facilities, as the energy sources for an energy park. It is also desirable that scheduled shut downs be coordinated with the park management to take place during periods of low energy usage and -high effectiveness of the proposed augmentation systems, specifically solar. The summer months are the most desirable from the standpoint of these criteria but may not be from the standpoint of power generation. In any case, auxiliary heating systems are indicated for each individual process adequate to maintain minimum conditions if a shut down occurs during the worst climatological period. If sufficient methane can be generated and stored-on site it could be utilized for this purpose. The heat storage, as shown, is not significant in terms of supplying heat during a period of shut down but can act as a leveling area to insure a constant water temperature and to mitigate diurnal variations. 66.

RADIOLOGICAL MONITORING A prime concern of any proposed energy.usage connected with nuclear power generation must be the safety of both the workers and the products produced. To i'nsure the safety of all involved and to ascertain the level of additional radiolo gical monitoring' required, an i.nvesticlation has heen conducted of the existing monitoring systems in place. GASEOUS EMISSIONS The chance of unscheduled or unexpected occurrences-aro. significantly higher for smaller particulate and gas emissions, than a liquid spillage. Additionally, the spread of radioactive material, after an on site incide'nt, ''which could cause evacuation or other protective measures, would be through gaseous emissions. The prime monitoring system consists of sampling probe mounted at the top of the stack.. Samples are r un through particulate filters which are removed and counted twice weekly in accordance with NRC regulations. The samples are then run through two consecutive gas chambers to detect and record any noble gas emissions. The levels of rontam- inants are very small and the detect.ors noted are highl y sensitive to record the low levels of (7r)nl-,jnJ n;int normal ly present. The final stage of stack monitoring is a high level recorder to monitor the possible high level emissions which may be associated with an accident. Additional air monitoring stations are positioned at varying distanc es up to 30 miles. These are automatic stations with the records 67. retrieved weekly. These results are compiled and the result published semiannually by JCP&L. Several improvements are currently planned and proposed to improve and update the gas monitoring system. A system of continous computer monitoring of the existing system is now in final design stages, and Is projected to be on I ine within the next three (3) years. The computer will tie the stack monitoring to concurrent meteorological data. from an on site weather station. This data can then be@'used to project possible radioactive drift in case of a major accident on site. The next improvements projected for site monitor'ing is a system of twenty perimeter monitoring stations. Each station will be tied to a central computer and will be monitored in real time. The primary function of this system will be to monitor any increase in off-site deposition or drift ina post accident phase. LIQUID EMMISION COOLING WATER: The design of OCNGS excludes the mixing of the cooling water with the primary cooling loop except for catastrophic event. Between the primary cooling loop and the condensor cooling loop there is a 28 inch of mercury vacuum. If a leak should develop in any of the condensor tubes cooling water would be sucked into the primary cooling loop. No primary coolant would flow to the condensor cooling water. RAD WASTE BUILDING The EPA and NRC permit certain radiological contaminents to be discharged in small quantities. This discharge is totally separate from the condensor cooling water. The dischargefrom the rad waste building is located approximately 100 feet downstream 68. from the discharge structure for the conden.ser cooling. The discharge is constantly monitored with automatic.shut down valves set at small percentages of the allowed discharge levels. During normal operation mode there is no discharge through this system. Releases of liquid radioactive wastes are scheduled and metered during outages and is associated' with cleaning and refueling operations. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MONITORING Based on the information provided above the need for any additional monitoring would be related to factors other than worker health and safety. A small monitoring system, as a psychological asset, may add to employees mental perception of safety but would add no real measure of safety. Two (2) areas would possibl y benefit from additional mIonitoring or an extension of the plant site monitoring. The first area would be related to long term effect of a very low level radiation. 'All exposure of radiation is now well below excepted standards for both workers and local population. However, on going research is being conducted on the effect of long term, low dose radiation. This type of monitor ing would be of value, if at some time in the future, possible negative effects of this exposure were discovered. Records would be available on employee exposure to determine the individual exposure data. The second area of interest of additional monitoring would be in a post accident phase. Records from the controlled environment of Lacey Energy Park would aid in prediction of 69. drift patterns and deposition rates. Additionally in a post accident stage Lacey Energy Park site monitoring may aid in clean up and restarting any processes in Lacey Energy Park. To summarize what the proposed Lacey Energy Park may need as supplemental monitoring: 1. Effluent Probe: Psychological in effect. 2. Individual Dose Meter: monitor long term low level dosage. 3. Gas Destination: post accident monitoring of drift and deposition. It is further recommended that any on site monitoring be tied to the computerized monitors on the OCNGS site. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The data on the existing and proposed monitoring systems and radiation release procedures for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station was obtained from Mr. Richard Pelrine, Chemical Supervisor. Mr. Pelrines' help and quidance is gratefully acknowledged. 70. I I I I I I I I - VI. SITE SPECIFIC REPORT I I I I I I I I I I I VI. SITE INVENTORY The various physical and e'nvironmental features which act upon and influence the design and function of the proposed,\ industrial park have been catalogued and limiting features for future design and feasibility studies identified. A. TOPOGRAPHY The proposed site lies within the coastal plains region Of South Central New Jersey. The site topography is typical of the coastal plains consisting of flat t o mildly sloping sandy sail. The site straddles the drainage basins of the South and Middle branches of the Forked River. The f.o.llowing topographic map shows the site gently sloping from west to east and from the drainage basin ridge between the Middle and South branches of the Forked River north and south. The site contains no areas of steep slopes which would impact construction. The existing topography lends itself to the proposed industrial complex and will present only minimal engineering problems to any development. (Exhibit VIII) B. SOIL TYPE The Ocean County Soil Survey has identified the following soil types with.in the proposed industrial complex: 71.

Manahawkin Ma Organic Matter The following composite shows the soi IdIstribution through the site. Each of the individual soi Is will have certain impacts on the design and construction of the proposed park. (Exhibit IX) The two soi I types which wi I I present the major chal lenge during design stage are the Atsion and Manahawkin soils. The Atsion sands have an extremely high seasonal water table with the high water table being at the surface in some cases. Construction of road and other permanent features must be undertaken with extrem-e care in these soils, to prevent structure damage due to the high water table The Manahawkin organic soil is basically unsuitable for construction activity. The soil is composed of decayed organic matter. It is highly plastic with low bearing capacity. During dry periods, when the water table falls, the soil is subject to extreme shrinkage. Additionally, the soil falls under the N.J. Department of Environmental Protections (DEP) classification of natural water's edge. The DEP discourages any development unless it meets all the following conditions: 73.

Would result in minimal feasible alteration of on-site vegetation. (Ref. 13, p. 85) C. VEGETATION AND WILDLIFE The site has, within recent time, been cut clear for either pulp wood, cedar or firewood. This has reduced the vegetation to rap id growth weeds and bushes common to the coastal plains. The State records show no significant or record trees located in the immediate,area. The following table was prepared by Rutgers University for JCP&L and groups the common vegetation by cluster type.

A large population of whitetail deer is in the Pine Barren and white cedar forests nearby. 2. Large populations of quail are in the heavily wooded sections of the area. 3. Heavy and cyclic grouse populations can be found near the site. 4. Marsh and river-bottom dwellers, such as the raccoon, reside in large quantities near the site." (Ref. 14, p.3-60) A herpetologist, under contract to the Endangered and Non- game Species Project for DEP, has investigated the proposed industrial site, the power plant, and the surrounding area. The following map, furnished by NJDEP, Division of Fish, Game and Shellfish,, recaps his sightings of the Pine Barrens Tree Frog, an endangered species. He also noted, in his report on this area, sightings of both the Northern Pine Snake and the Corn Snake, which are threatened species. (Exhibit X) JCP&L, as part of the.environmental report for Forked River Unit #1 (FR#I), contracted with consultants from Rutgers to physically inventory the land vertebrates in the Forked River area.

The endangered and threatened species likewise will be min- imally impacted by the proposed constructionP as the vast' majority of which is upstream of the proposed development and would remain unaffected by it. 81. D. ADJACENT LAND USE The proposed site lies in the M-6 zone of the current Lacey Townshi-p Zoning Ordinance, Thi's zone allows all forms of'general industrial and manufacturing*uses with certain pro visions regarding any industry which produces a toxic or hazardous material or waste.' The s*ite Is bounded along its entire southern border by the JCP&.L powerplant site. Ocean Township ' to the south of the power plant site, has zoned that section abutting the power plant for industrial use. On the west, the site is bounded by the Garden State Parkway. West of the Parkway the land is totally undeveloped. The existing zoning, on this land, is M-6, the same zoning.as the proposed site. To the north, the site is bounded by the flood plain of the Midd-I.e Branch of the Forked River. The area to the north of the river is zoned residential. The nearest existing dwellings are approximately 2,000 feet to the north along Route #9. The easterly side of the proposed site is bounded by an inactive railroad right@of-way and U.S. Route #9. The area immediately to the east of the highway is zoned for commercial development. The adjacent land uses, will not conflict with the proposed industrial development. The presence of the nuclear power plant, which may have,posed a deterent to development, is an integral part of the proposed industrial complex. E. TRANSPORTATION The availability of a transportation network to distribute products and provide raw@ materials is a major concern whenever industrial development is considered. While all of Ocean County and Eastern Central New Jersey suffers from a lack of modern transportation facilities, the proposed site makes a maximum usage of the transportation available. Truck and car access to the site will be via U.S. Route #9. ..U.S. Route #9 highway' is the main north/south commercial route through eastern Ocean County. While the highway is near its peak capacity during rush hours and summer weekends, adequate capacity is available during normal work hours and off hours. Additionally, the site has both north and south acc ess to the Garden State Parkway via Exit 69, to the south in Ocean Township and Exit 74, to the north. Direct access to either rail or barge facilities will become a possibility if the proposed FR#I should be converted from the currently proposed nuclear fired plant to fossil fuel, specifically coal. The Central Railroad of New Jersey owns a right-of -way which bounds both the proposed I nd u�trial complex and the power plant site. If rail transportation of coal, as fuel, was to be initiated, the establishment of a rail siding at the proposed site would be a simple matter. If the coal were to be barged Into FR#I, the dual usage of the dockage and ship channels would offer access to the most inexpensive bulk transportation system to any proposed industrial users. 83. Limited mass transportation along the Route #9 corridor is currently available through common carrier. Lacey Town- ship, in conjunction with the Ocean County Planning Board, Is working on establis'hing a rural transportation system to service the local transportation needs and to feed the -estab-- lished-mass transit routes. F. MUNICIPAL SERVICES* As is'-common in@many rural and suburban communities, standard muni,cipal services are provided by'a combination of private enterprise,.governmental agencies and volunteer service groups. Solid Waste Removal The Township provides residential curbside garbage removal. All commercial and industrial sites are serviced by pr-Ivate haulers.' The County is currently investigating the acquisition of several private commercial sanitary land- fills for the establishment of regional solid waste management. It appears that the exist ing private carters wi I I be able to, satisfy the needs of the proposed industrial park. 2. Police Service' The mun-ici,pal police force is geared to the expanded summer population.of the Township which grows from.a permanent population of 13,000 to seasonal level of 30,000. The time demands of periodic patrols and additional services will not place any strain on the existing police capacity. Additionally, if the industrial park or central heat system falls within 84. the jurisdiction of J.C.P.&L., the power company maintains a private security force for its Oyster Creek Installation which could possibly include a limited role in the industrial complex. 3. Fire and Ambulance Service Fire and First Aid services are provided by vo lunteer organizations. The proposed industrial usages are inherently non labor intensive. The local First Aid Squad will be capable of handling any proposed devel- opment. The local Fire Company, while prima'irly geared to the residential unit and forest fire threats, is well equipped. The Township has cooperated in providing suction stations throughout the eastern sections of the Township. The proximity of the int6ke canal will allow the industrial park to be designed to include a suction point fi re station. Additional emergency water may be supplied through the well field proposed under other sections of this report. Local ordinances pertaining to ind ustrial/ commercial development include height limitations in keeping with the existing fire fighting equipment. 4. Sewer Service: A regional collection and treatment system has been constructed and placed into operation. The system has been designed to handle a 20 MGD load with an ultimate capacity of 33 MGD. Due to revisions in land use control and population trends, current projection of sewer loads leaves 8 to 10 MGD excess capacity. The proposed indus- trial complex will not have a negative impact on the 35. regional system. The local collection system does not extend to the proposed site, however, the regional collection main passes the northeast corner of the site. Tapping the collection system for the complex to the regional system will not require any special consideration as the regional system is in gravity flow at this point. G. AIR AND WATER QUALITY 1. Water Quality The impact of the quality of the bay water, power plant effluent, and groundwater on the proposed operation have received considerable attention in other segments of this report. Comments in this section will be limited to impacts resulting from construction and industrial park operation. The Qcean County 208 Water Ouality program has tested cataloged all the fresh water streams in the county. The original testing station included both the South Branch and Middle Branch of the Forked River. The South Branch was deleted from the program when it was dis- covered that the existing intake canal had altered the stream to a tidal and salt water stream. The following table excerpts were compiled over a three (3) year period from 1976 to 1978, by the County 208 program on the Middle Branch from a testing station at the Route #9 bridge.

Following the "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey" published by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture should control runoff and sediment to min- imize any stream degradation. (Exhibit XII) As all the proposed processes are in a controlled environment no impacts on water quality are anticipated as a function of their operation. The long term effects on existing water quality would be related to the storm water collection and discharge system. With careful design and employing retention and detention basi.ns to limit runoff, any negative impacts on the existing water quality can be controlled. 2. Air Quality In general the air quality in Ocean County is very good when compared to New Je,rsey Department of Envir- onmen+al Protection standards for air quality. Attached is data obtained from N.ew Jersey Department of Environ- mental Protection from their nearest continuous monitoring station which is located in Toms River, New Jersey, approximately 10 miles north of the proposed site, and data from the Department of Environmental Protection Intermediate stations in Toms River, Waretown,(immediately to the south of the site), and Island Beach State Park.

H. INFRASTRUCTURE Lacey Township is basically a rural area which has experienced rapid growth over the last fifteen years. The rapid growth has caused several problems in localIgovernment maintaining infra- structure growth equivalent to population expansion. Ocean County has been the fastest growing county in the State for many years and Lacey Township has been a leader in individual community growth. The absence of a local property tax for municipal purposes has contributed greatly to the rapid growth. The Township has taken the following steps to handle the expanding growth. 1. Sewerage: The local sewer system is'n earing completion and is being phased in as each section is inspected and accepted. In previous sections the availability of excess treatment capacity was discussed. 2. School: The rapid growth has caused an overcrowding and split sessions in the regional school system. Lacey Township is currently building a Middle School and High School to handle the Township's school population. The Middle School opened in September, 1980, and the High School is expected to be opened in September, 1981. 3. Storm Sewers: The collection and management of storm runoff is the responsibility of the individual developer. The Township has a master drainage p Ian covering the developed sections of the Township which is being constructed as funds are available. The industrial complex and its developer will be responsible to collect and dispose of the runoff generated by the development. 4. Tax Base: As stated earlier the-municTpal general purpose tax Is zero. AVAILABLE ACREAGE Several sites Jor the industrial par,k were considered and the site immediately north of the power plant site was selected as the best available site. The selection process included' the following considerations: I . Zoning: Only those areas zoned under the exisiting Township Zoning Ordinance for industrial use were considered. 2. Regional Land Use Control: All areas west of the Garden State Parkway were elimated. During the selection process, a moratorium was placed on all development in the "core" area of the Pinelands until the State's Master Plan for the Pinelands could be completed. The Master Plan for the "core" area has just been adopted which limits dev-elopment to those uses traditionally associated with the Pinelands. 3. Central Services: The availability of central sewer service was a prime concern for any industrial development. 99. 4. Relationship to Power Plant.: The close proximity to the pow,er plant was a prime factor in selection process. The relationship aids in reducing initial capital costs for piping and pumping. The attached copies of Lacey Township Tax Map Sheets 4 and 53, shows the area'under consideration. The originally selected area included.Plot 6 along the northern boundary, however, due to the soils none of that parcel of land woul d be developable and, as such, was eliminated from further consideration. The availability of land for development and the amount of land actually developed is contingent on several factors. The economic considerations of initial investments for land, development costs, and interfacing will limit the local authority to a staged process. The demand for space by potential industrial users will influence the number of site developed at any one time. Additional land owned by JCP&L is available directly east of the power p Ian t and possibly would be available should t.he demand for space warrant expansion of the complex.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS i I I I I a I I I I VII. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS A. Construction Phase 1. Runoff & Sedimentation Any major construction effort which involves the stripping of existing vegetation and the movement of fresh soil presents a potential for erosion and stream sedimentation. To control soil erosion and sedimentation the State enacted Chapter 251, of the Public Laws of 1975, known as the "Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Act". The act requires that all construction activities conform to the guidelines of the New Jersey Department of Agriculture. these guidelines are presented in "Standards for Soil Erosion and Sediment Control in New Jersey" available through the Department of Agriculture or the local Soil Conservation Districts. The implementation of of-these guidelines through the local districts and the accompanying permit process requires that all development plans be reviewed and erosion control delineated. The review process and construction phase inspection effectively serve to mitigate the erosion and sedimentation impacts from construction ac tivities. The design of the proposed industrial park must take ..Into account the large areas of Manahawkin Soils along the northern boundary of the site. This undevelopable area will serve as a sediment trap during the operation phase but is extremely fragile and quickly cut up and muddied by construction activity. 103 Care must be exercised in the design and construction of any industrial complex component which by necessity must cross these areas. The erodibilit y of soil can be judged by the IIKII factor used to calculate sediment losses. Soils can generally be classed as follows: "KII Erodibility Class 0.,17 -10.24 Low, 0.28 - 0.37 Medium 0.43 - 0.49 Kigh (Ref.. 15, p. Al.6) 'The 11K."factor for the soil found on-the sit6@other than the-Manahawkin soils are: Soil" "V Factor- Class Atsion 0.17 Low Downer 0.24 Low Lakehurst 0.17 Low Lakewood 0.. 17 Low (Ref. 16, pp. 72&73) Full erosion contr ol will be required during the design phase.' The plan will iriclude diversion berms to slow runoff, sediment traps to serve until vegetation cover can be established and construction entrance aprons to prevent sedimentation due to construction equipment traffic. 2. Air and Water Quality The impacts on water quality a're directly related to to the previous section as runoff and sedimentation will be the only water quality impact. 104.1 Construction phase air quality can be affected by two.factors, both of a temporary nature. The exhausts of the construction equipment could have an adverse effect on air quality by increasing both the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides concen- trations, howe ver, the proximity of both Route #9 and the Garden State Parkway will mask any Increases caused by the construction activity. The susp ended solids may also be affected by dust generated by the construction activity. The standards on sediment and erosion control contain several rec- ommendations for dust control. The type of control employed.will be determined by the construction activity, equipment and time of year. The Ocean County Soil Con- servation Service has classified only two (2),of the soils encountered on the site, the Lakehurst and Lakewood soils, both of which fall in the lowest class of Soil susceptible to wind erosion. 3. Salt Deposition impacts of salt deposition, if any, on the construction phase will depend on the status of Forked River Unit #1 (FR#I) at the time of construction. If the plant is not operative due to construction activities or economic reasons there will be no effects. Other sections of this report have indicated that maximum benefits wi'll be realized by concurrent construction of FR#I and the La cey Energy Park.. 105. If the Lacey Energy Park is constructed after the com- pletion of FR#I and the activation of the cooling tower, the impacts of salt deposition,will be no worse than is experienced in ocean front construction. Typical measures utilized to reduce the effects of the salty environment include the use of rust inhibitors, imore frequent lubrication of moving parts, and washing of equipment to remove accumulated salt. B. OPERATION PHASE 1. Water Qua Iity The effects of the proposed Lacey Energy Park on the existing water quality are dependent on several design functions. These factors include: a. National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit: As it appears that large quantities of water will be returned to the bay at some point, ....a d,.Ispharge, permit wi I I be reqo,i,red which w! I I set maximum levels of contaminates which can be returned to the Bay water. b. Industries: Within.the framework of. the dis-, charge permit, the actual industries and industrial p,r.ocess. wJ11,h,ave an effect on the,quality of the discharg.e. The aquaculture and mariculture usages will-most Jilkely re,quire polishing po,nds,.t.o reduce BOD and organic, po Ilutant prior to discharginq. Greenholuse applicati,ons may require some treatment if the water,comes in direct contact with fertilizers or other nutrients. The biological recycling will have to discharge to the central sewera .ge system or an on site treatment system. As these examples indicate the type and size of each industrial usage will determine what, if any, pre-treatment w 1 1 1 be requ i red to meet Nat i ono I ro I I ist i on Discharge Elimination System Pe rmit requirements. OA c.: Central Heat Sink: The power plant effluent will receive no further treatment with the exception of temperature reduction and will be discharged as is current practice or will be returned In a closed loop to the plant for further cooling and possible reuse. d. Process Water: To reduce ground water extractions and for energy conservation reasons process water will be recycled through the heat sink whenever possible. For water not recycled see section (b) above. e. Storm Water: Storm water collection and ultimate disposal is a detailed design function and, will not be addressed in this report except to mention that sound design of collection and possible detention b,asin techniques can keep the runoff quality equal to, or better than, the runoff occurring naturally. 2. Air Quality A review of previous sections, of this report, indicate that the industries proposed for this site, have.little or no airborne emissions and the overall effect on air quality will be negligible. 3. Salt De position The effects of salt deposition during the operating phase Is closely tied to the size and operation of the Lacey Energy Park. The quantity of heat recoverable and quantity of effluent run through the Lacey Energy Park will have a direct reduction in the amount' of salt discharged into the atmosphere. Section IV of the report has shown that given the assump- tions established for the proposed Lacey Energy Park with- out consideration for an expanded facility t he reduction in terms of total volume are probably not significant. 107. The accomplished reduction in terms of ecological benefits cannot be addressed within the scope of this report, however, they may be of.an order that is -significant. a. 'Construction Materials: Any material susceptible to corrosion from salt attack; i,.e.,.-.steel, should be used only with great care... b. ,Sa.It Buildup: Any open air process, suchtas field grown crops or open air aquaculture, will have to be selected with the knowledge that a..certain..Ievel of.sajt deposition is possible., The following chart, (Fig. 7),from @the JCP&L study on the effects of the cooling tower, shows the rate of deposition expected under full load colnditlons..(Ref. 14, p.4-135) Additionally, the deposition of salt and salt buildup may require that greenhouse,glass. exteriors be washed down from time to time. Similarly the use of solarcollectors as a supplimental heat source will require periodic cleaning to.remove salt on the col-lection sUrfaces. EXHIBIT XV..

Sewer Service: Due to high estimates of county growth potential and new land use controls, the regional sewer system has vast quantity of excess capacity. The treatment plant is designed for a 20 MGD loading with expansion to 33 MGD. Current estimates of existing flows are less than 6 MGD and the growth expected is now 10 to 12 MGD. The proposed Lacey Energy Park, with Industrial pretreatment as required by the Ocean County Utilities Authorities will cause no negative effects on the sewer collection or treatment system. 2. Water Supply The proposed system control heat service will require deep wells for water. The eventual developers can extend these wells to the individual tenants as a park service or require each user to obtain his water by private well. The central wells and individual wells will require well permits and the central wells will require ground water diversion permits issued by the State. There is no existing central water supply system in Lacey Township. 3. Road And Transportation Route 9, the eastern boundary of the proposed site, is the major North/South commercial corridor in Ocean County. The road is concrete with a bituminous concrete overlay with one lane in each direction. During the morning and afternoon rush hours, the road is very close 110. to capacity, with minor tie ups at the traffic lights north and south of the site. The western boundary of the site is the.Garden State Parkway, which provides express service north and south. Trucks are currently permitted north to Exit 105, the Interchange with Routes 36 and 18 for connection to the New York metropolitan area. There are no truck restrictions on the Parkway south. Lacey Road, to the north of the site, has a northbound entrance and southbound exit to the Parkway, travel distance from the site is approximately 4.4 miles. County Route 532, to the south of the site, has a south- bound entrance and porthbound exit to the Parkway, approximate.travel distance of 4.6 miles. The workers.at the site during the operation phase fo'r the most part will be local workers and the netchange in-commuter traffic may be negligible. I I I i. I I I I I Vill. ECONOMIC EFFECTS I I I I I I I . . I I I Vill. ECONOMIC EFFECTS A. Taxes The existing site is presently zoned as industrial and is undeveloped. The site is comprised of a 500 acre tract that has previously been described, in detail, in this portion of the report. The present tax revenue generated for Ocean County and the Lacey School District is calculated as; $23,667.12 per year based on an assessed valuation of $1,507,406.00 and a tax rate of $1.57/hundred. The property is not usable for agriculture due to the relatively poor soil conditions, and is not considered for residential dwellings, e.g.; high density uses, due to its proximity to the OCNGS. The highest and best usage for t his tract is considered to be industrial utilizing a non-labor intensive con- figuration, as evidenced in the Lacey Township Master Plan which established this zonino, and this use is well within the spirit of the plan as quoted below: "GOAL: The Township will actively encourage expansion and improvement of existing business and industry as well as attempt to attract new industrial, and business uses into planned areas, expecially adjacent to compatible use areas, e.g.; the county airport, the railroad, and Rt. 9. OBJECTIVES: The expansion of exisitnq industry and the attraction of new industry should be encouraged to provide local opportunities for an expanding resident population. Planned and properly protected industrial development should be encouraged to help create and maintain an attractive and harmonious, as well as economically vigorous..community. I12. Industry which relies upon the extraction of natural resources from the Township wi-11. be required to indicate how and at what stage disturbances to the environment will be corrected. No such industry will be per- mitted to permanently disfigure areas of the Township. Plans for environmental rehabil- itation will be required for each petition. Areas suitable for business and industrial use should be initially determined and per- iodically reviewed within the context of the Comprehensive Plan and the zoning ordinance Areas suitable for future development of a residential or non-residential nature will not be prematurely zoned for such use, even though such use may be indicated in the twenty year Comprehensive Plan." (Ref . 17P pp. 41 &42) B. Employment Opportunities Utilizing projections of employment opportunities expected from similar projects and adjusting them to the space available at the Lacey Township Site, it would appear that the number of employees at the park p er se could be in the range of 148 to 278 with an expected gross annual payroll of from $1,776,000 to $3,336,000. The secondary multiplier effects could be in the range of 44 to 83 employees with the secondary economic impact in the range of $1,073,000 to $20035,000. The overall regional impact is not possible to access without more specific information, in particular the industrial configuration of the park, however, a regional Income multiplier of 1.5 X gross revenue generated is possible. C. Impacts on Boundary Municipalities Section IV of this report has demonstrated the enormous amount of heat available from OCNGS and/or FIR #1 as designed, far more than enough to energize the proposed Lacey Industrial Park. 113. Ocean Township has zoned the property to the south of the power plant property Industrial. This aporoximately 280 acre tract is similar in physical characteristics to the proposed Lacey Energy Park property and is in fact, closer to the power plant than the Lacey property. Ocean Township receives very little of the tax base revenue benefits enjoyed by Lacey Township, the host municipality, and may be amendable to investigating the utilization of a portion of the waste heat generated along with Lacey to attract industry which would contribute substantially to their tax base revenue. This approach would also serve to utilize approximately twice the amount of waste heat as may be utilized by the Lacey installation alone, thereby further mitigating the adverse effects of waste heat on the environment. I I I I I I I I IX. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS I I I I I I I I I I I Ix. REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS A. Federal 1. Food & Drug Administration The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for administration of the Federal Food., Drug and Cosmetic Act (FFD&C). This Act prohibits the intro- duction of adulterated food into interstate commerce. Food is generally considered "adulterated if it contains any poisonous or deleterious substances or filth, is a product of a diseased animal, or has intentionally been subjected to radiation in a manner not specifically permited by regulation". (Ref. 18, pp. 152-155) The presence of anticorrosive agents, biocides to prevent condensor biofouling and any other additives injected into the cooling water to ease plant operation would become a food additive under the FDA regulation, and would be subject to strict monitoring to meet FDA limits. The Delaney Clause of the FFD&C Act, which has been discussed in a previous section, flat ly prohibits FDA approval of any carcinogen as a food additive in any amount. As radiation is a recognized carcinogen it would appear that all direct contact with the cooling water and the food chain would be prohibited by FDA. 115. The Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation'Study, indicates that a cooling system operated in a manner similar to the Oyster Creek system, in fact would not subject the cooling water to exposure to radiation and direct usa ge of cooling water would not violate the Delaney Clause of the FFD&C Act. Pending final outcome of FDA review of the Vermont Yankee claims, and due to the need for temperature boosting from the Oyster Creek site, the Lacey Energy Park has been conceptually planned with heat exchangers which satisfy the Delaney Clause restriction on direct usage. 2. Nuclear Regulatory Commission The location of the proposed Lacey Energy Park, off the power plant site and out of the exclusion zone, would remove the Lacey Energy Park from direct review and jurisdiction of NRC. The proposed project would be subject to a secondary review by the NRC in two (2) a r e a s . a. The interfacing system connected to the condenser cooling loop will be subject to NRC review. The utility must receive a license modification if any technical changes are proposed in the circulating water system. The@review by the NRC would be to ascertain if the proposed interface would: i. , Present an unreviewed safety question. ii.. Increase the probability of the occur rence or the con.sequences of an accident. ill. Create the possibility of an acci'dent or a malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated. 116. The req uest for license modifications would have to be submitted and supported by the utility company. b. The other area of concern by the NRC with regard to the Lacey Energy Park would be the impact on the local and regional evacuation contingencies as will be discussed later. 3. Environmental Protection Agency National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits will be required by any operation discharging a pollutant into navigable waterways. The type of permit and whether each usage will require a separate permit or one master permit can be obtained for the entire operation, will be de- pendent on the parameters established during the design phase of the Lacey Energy Park. B. STATE REGULATORY AGENCIES 1. The following is taken from the Directory of State Programs for Regulating Construction.

Due to the wide latitude given to the CAFRA review process, and the need to provide a complete Environmental Impact Statement as part of the review application, the CAFRA permit is often considered a State umbrella permit. The Lacey Industrial Commission has submitted to the CAFRA review process a preapplication request which outlines the area in question, and the conceptual idea behind the Lacey Energy Park. The following is a reprint of the CAFRA staff analysis of the proposal. (Ref. 13) 124. (REFERENCE 13) Owe of Nnu 3frorg DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TRENTON PLEASE ADDRESS REPLY TO: P. 0. BOX 1669 TRENTON. N. J. 08623 December 10, 1979 Mr. William R. Layton, Jr. Satterfield Associates P. 0. Box 162 Forked River, New Jersey 08731 RE: CAFRA Inquiry, P# 810 Lacey Industrial Park Lacey Township, Ocean County Dear Mr. Layton: Based on staff review of the information' presented and dis- cussed at the pre-application conference held 16 November your project has the following status in terms of the Rules on Coastal Resource and Development Policies as stated in Part II, Chapter 4, New Jersey Coastal Management Program - Bay and Ocean Shore Segment August 1978 (N.J.A.C. 7:7E-1 et seq.). This staff review refers to specific policies by section number. Please understand that this informal guidance is not a binding commitment by the Department to approve or deny any forthcoming permit application for this project or site. Project Description The proposed project would entail the construction of an industrial park on approximately 500 acres (Block 1002, plots 1-6 and Block 1024, Lot 15) . The site fronts on U.S. Route 9, immed- iately north of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The project would be built in phases; phase one would utilize plots 1-1 (about .34 acres). A study is presently on-going to determine the feasibility of utilizing the heated wastewater from the nuclear power plant by tennants of the industrial park. Location Policies (3.0) These policies classify all land and water features of the coastal zone into at lea5pt one category and assign a policy on the use of each type of location in each category. New Jersey Is Art Equal Opportunit). Employer 125. (REFERENCE 13)' Mr. William R. Layton, Jr. December 10, 1979 Special Areas (3.2) Certain -specific -areas merit focused attention and special management policies and their policies supplement the more general Location Policies and take precedence. Bogs and Freshwa ter Wetlands (3.2.23) Development that would adversely affect the natural functioning of these Special Areas is prohibited. All on-site bog and fresh- water wetlands areas are to be mapped on a site plan. Natural Water's Edge (3.4.2) This area is the natural, undisturbed land area that is contiguous with a Water Area and stretches from a Water Area to the landward limit of soils with a seasonal high water table at the surface, including Atsion soils. In general, development is dis- couraged in this Water's Edge Area unless the project satisfies all of the conditions listed under 3.4.2 (page 85). The applicant is to map the site's Natural Water's Edge Area on a site plan. Coastal Region (3.5.3) The site lies in the Ba rnegat Corridor Region and is designated a Moderate Growth Region. Environmental Sensitivity (3.5.4) Those sections of the site with Lakehurst and Atsion soils, which are high percolation wet soils, and a forest vegetation receive a High Environmental Sensitivity. The remainder of the site, exclusive of the Special Area, recieves a Moderate rating. The latter appears to apply only to small segments of the site with a Downer soil type. Develoi)ment Potential (3.5.5.3) .The site has direct access to a road and wastewater treatment system and meets the infill requirements as it is adjacent to the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. However, it is not within two miles of an existing intersection with a limited access highway or within one-half mile of a freight rail line. Therefore, it receives a Medium Development Potential. 126. (REFERENCE 13) Mr. William R. Laytont Jr. December 10, 1979 -3- Acceptable Development Intensity (3.5.6) Use of the appropriate Land Acceptability Table (3-5-7) shows that the site receives a Low Acceptable Development Intensity. Based on the policies for Land Areas, the proposed project is discouraged due to a Low Acceptable Development Intensity. However, due to the uniqueness of the industrial park (i.e., the proposed use of the waste heat from the electrical generating station), it must be sited adjacent to a generating station. This subject is discussed under the following Use Policy. Energy Use Policies (4.4) The acceptability of proposed coastal energy facilities shall be determined by a review process that includes both DEP and N.J. D.O.E. according to the procedures defined in the Memorandum of Understanding between DEP and DOE coordination of permit review. One of the policy guidelines used in siting a General Energy Facility is "that no better locational alternative to the proposed site exists." Because the proposed project is to utilize the waste heat from an electrical generating station, it must be built in close proximity to the facility. Therefore, provided that the other policy guidelines of this Use Policy can be met, the site is accept- able for the proposed use. The applicant has been in contact with D.O.E. regarding a grant to conduct a feasibility study. Resource Policies (5.0) Here a project is reviewed in terms of its effects on various resources of the built and natural environment of the coastal region, both at the proposed site and in the surrounding region. These policies serve as standards to which proposed development must adhere. Appropriate policies which the applicant must adequately address are: Water Quality (5.3), Groundwater Use (5.5), Runoff (5.6), Vegetation (5.8), Air (5.10), Secondary Impacts (5.14), Solid Waste (5.16), and Energy Conservation (5.17). Conclusion If the policies for the Special Areas discussed are met, as well as all appropriate Resource Policies,,then the proposed site is conditionally acceptable. This conclusion is based on the fact that a project utilizing waste heat from an electrical generating station must be sited in close proximity to such a facility. 127. (REFERENCE 13) Mr. William R. Layton, Jr. December 10, 1979 -4- It is a recommendation, at this timet that the ten$ants of the park be limited to non-labor intensive industries which utilize the waste heat. The goal here is' to keep to a minimum the number of persons in the area immediately adjacent to a nuclear generating station. The application shall also contain a section in which it is demonstrated how the proposed use complies with the applicable Coastal Resource and Development Policies. .I trust this guidance helps you to proceed along the design and development process.

BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES The major regulatory agency with which a public utility must deal wi.th is the Board of Public Utilities (BPU). This agency has the right to review, approve, or dis- approve all utility tariffs and tarrif in creases. within the State. Based on this fact, it would appear that the BPU would play an integral part in the establishment of a facility which uses heat from a e'lectrica.1 gener- ating station as its energy source. However, research indicates that the involvement of the BPU'1n the estab- lishment and operation of such a facility is contingent on several other factors. The role of the BPU in its simpliest terms is to insure that a utility's customers receive service at the lowest possible rate while insuring the economic viability of the utility. Under this mandate, the BPU requires that any capital expenditure by a utility be presented to the BPU along with the proposed method of financing or recovering the funds expended. If the capital expended is self supporting without effecting the utility customer the BPU's only intp*re@;t is that any profits are reported and included in the rate determination formula. If the capital ex,pended is to be recovered by rate tariff increase, the BPU requires that the utility prove that the increase in service benefits to the consumer is equal to or greater than the proposed rate increase. 129. The above recapitulation'of rate determination philosophy is, presented as background for the following discussion of possible BPU involvement in a Waste Heat Ut! I 1.zatibn project. To date, little or no attention has been paid to Waste Heat Utilization and cascading heat use, as it has been of little consequence in the total rate structure of any New Jersey Utility. However, with the growin g national concern for conservation and rising energy costs the BPU will soon be faced with formulating a policy to cover.such a situation. The following guidelines were developed based on the rate setting philosophy above and discussion with the legal department of BPU. a. Effects on Power Generating Capacity: If the proposed facility in any manner reduces the total generating capacity of the power .plant the BPU would require that the user or facility owner reimburse the utility for the ,loss of gene rating capacity. This fact would be a determination in the involvement of BPU in the proposed Lacey Energy Park, if the industrial developers were to ask for a higher discharge temperature during the winter months. This higher discharge'temperature would increase the back pressure on the turbine and reduce generation capacity. A I* F increase in dis- charge temperature corresponds to a I MWT reduction in generating capacity, as a rule ,of thumb. b. Capital Investment: If the utility company expends any capital in the construction of the interfacing system to supplythe heated water to the industrial facility the BPU will request a full disclosure of the utility involvement. 130. The BPU will require that the utility receive a pay back from the industrial facility rather than the utility consumer. The exception being if the cost of the interfacing system produces a reduction in environmental degradation equal to, or greater than, the cost of the system. This may be a, consideration when a Waste Heat Utilization project is designed as part of a power generation facility from the inception. The case of the Lacey Energy Park appears that the percentage of heat utilized will not significantly affect the amount of heat rejected. If the proposed industrial developer bears the entire cost of the interfacing system ' without capital investment on the utilities part, the BPU may not be involved as the power company does not have an investment cost to be recovered. in this instance the BPU would require only a disclosure of any funds paid to the utility for'the waste heat and the basis of the payment; i.e., cost per thousand gallons or MBTU's. This payment must than be included in any future rate determination formula. C. Lacey Energy Park as a Public Utility: Under certain circumstances the industrial developer may come under the jurisdiction of the BPU as a utility. Assuming that the industrial developer will charge a fee for the heat energy delivered to each tenant of the industrial park, he could be considered a public utility. If, as currently proposed, the industrial facility remains totally within a single municipality, the distribution system is exempted from Br-U review. However, if the industrial facility expands to an adjoining municipality, the fee charged to each tenant would than be subject to BPU review and approval. 131. C. LOCAL REGULATIONS 1. Ocean County Utilities Authority The Regional Sewerage Authority will have tp review functions With regard to this proposed project. The local collection system and tie-in to the regional interceptor must be submitted to the Authority prior to construction for review and approval. Their review will be made to insure compliance with the Authority's design standards, and that the proposed flows can be handled by the regional collection and treatment s ystem. The individual industrial tenant will be required to submit applications to the regional Authority prior to hook-up. The individual applicant will be required,to submit a projected analysis of his discharge, including flow, BOD loading and suspended solids.. These figures wi.11 be used to calculate any user surcharge required for sewage above normal strength. Addi tional industrial cost recovery may be-leveled by the Authority if applicable to the individual dischar ge. D. TOWNSHIP REGULATIONS As the proposed developers, the Lacey Industrial Commission is a body of the Township and any work proposed by this body would be subject to local Planning-Board approval as a matter of courtesy. The developers responsibility would include the subdivision, road layout and grading, 132. storm drainage and sewage collection. As sites are developed the individual developers will be required to submit site plans detailing the planned operation, building location, parking, utilities, and grading. Each plan would have to meet minimum Town- ship standards and any additional criteria established by the Industrial Commission and/or the Planning Board. 133. X. SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS NUCLEAR HEALTH X SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS NUCLEAR HEALTH A. EVACUATION PLANS I. On Site: Several configurations for possible eventual park layout were discussed and prepared for the Lacey Township Industrial Commission. The original plans were prepared without regard to unuseable location due to topographic features. The proposed plan resulted in the following con- clusions for park safety: a. All internal roads should be through roads to the maximum extent possible. b. The main entrance is to,be double.width. In time of emergency evacuation, this allows four (4) lanes of exit traffic. C. The exit has been located directly opposite Beach Boulevard. A traffic study currently under way may justify a traffic'light at the existing Route 9/ Beach Boulevard intersection. d. The plan should provide for possible rear exit, if any further expanded development should approach the site from the northwest. The following preliminary plans show the proposed sub- division. 'The plan would require modification to conform with site conditions previously identified.(Exhibit XVI) 2. Regional In light of the recent incident at Three Mile Island, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are requiring that all regional plans be revised.

Since this plan is still being prepared, no exact impacts can be identified, but several areas of possible impacts are@ a. The site is close enough that immediate notification is possible through a siren alerting system at the plant. b. The Lacey Energy Park will contribute a unit of vehicles at the inner most core area of the evacuation region. The current estimate of vehicles involved is 2 people/acre x 250 developable acres -*. 1.,25 people/vehicle = 400 vehicles. C. The majority of the workers to be evacuated from the Lacey Energy Park would have to be evacuated from another sector of the plan as most of the workers will be local residents. The effects on evacuation plans will be similar during the construction phase with two (2) modifications. i. Number of workers on site will vary with the type of construction activity. !I. Workers may be from regions not included in evacuation plans and there will be additional vehicular movement not previously accounted for. B. HEALTH RELATED DANGERS POSED BY PROXIMITY OF NUCLEAR PLANT 1. Section IV of the report has described the monitoring procedures utilized by JCP&L for detection of radiation and proposed additions to the system, which will result in Oyster Creek facility being monitored by the most complete and sophisticated system in the country at this time. The simultaneous construction of the proposed Lacey Energy Park 136. and Forked River Unit #1 could integrate the two (2) systems into one unified system which could alleviate the need for any additional on site monitoring. The effluent, as previously noted in Section IV, is isolated from the closed turbine loop by a vacuum of 28 inches of mercury and infiltration of turbine working fluid into the condenser cooling water is not possible except under catastophic conditions. The work force at the Energy Park location may expect no more exposure to radiation than the general population surrounding the power plant site and any further monitoring, such as individual dosage badges will be more psychological in nature than necessary for worker protection. 2. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE AT POWER PLANT The remaining health risks arise from an accidental release of gases or fluids Of contaminated mat erial within the power plant compl exes. The risk to anyone, not just the workers in the Lacey Energy P-ark is related to distance from the source, wind direction and quantity and strength of radioactive material. The NRC list four (4) classes of incident with procedures for each. The classes are: a. Notification of Unusual Event b. Alert C. Site Emergency d. General Emer-gencies 07. The following charts are from NUREG-0654 and review each class and the required response of the power plant operator and government agencies. The four (4) classes of incidents noted address the strength of any release. The local plan for evacuation is based on various distance determinations. The innermost zone,, known as the "exclusion area", is shown on the following map. The exclusion area is a specified distance around the plant.in which al'I activities must remain under the control of the licensee. The proposed Lacey Energy Park is located beyond the perimeter of the exclusion zone determined for OCNGS. The areas surrounding the exclusion zone are further divided into two (2) Emergency Planning Zones (EPZ). The inner zone has a radius of approximately 10 miles. The outer zone extends to a 50 mile radius. The interior zone is the area of immediate evacuation and is known as the "Plume Exposure Pathway". "The principal exposure sources from this pathway are: (a) whole body exter'nal exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited material; and (b) inhalation exposure from the passing radioactive plume. The duration.of the release leading to potential exposure could range from one-half hour to days. For the plume exposure pathway, shelter and/or evacuation would likely be.the principal immediate protective actions to be recommended for the general public. The possible administration of the thyroid blocking agent, potassium iodide, should also be considered. The ability to best reduce exposure under specific conditions during the course of an accident should determine the appropriate response." Ref . 1 9P p . 7 138.

Consider relocation to alternate EOC if actual dose accumulation in near-site EOC exceeds lower bound of EPA PAGS 12. Maintain general emergency status until closeout or reduction of emergency class This is the area within which the Lacey Energy Park is situated. The exposure potential in this area is weather dependent as the spread of the plume is related to the wind direction and speed. The accompanying chart of the wind rose from the* Oyster Creek and Forked River Unit #1 shows the proposed site is up@ind of the plant.during the predominate weather conditions. This fact will add to the time from inception of the emergency to exposure at the Lacey Energy Park site. Time estimates by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for exposure within the downwind sectors are 0.5 to 2.0 hours from the time the utility is aware of the accident. The outer zone is known as the "Ingestion Exposure Pathway" and is concerned with longer term exposure problems. (Exhibit XVIII) "The principal exposure from this pathway would be from ingestion of contaminated water or food such as milk or fresh vegetables. The duration of potential exposure could range in length from hours to months. For the ingestion exposure pathway, the planning'effort involves the identification of major exposure pathway-s from contaminated food and water and the associated control points and mechanisms. The ingestion pathway exposures in general would represent a longer term problem, although some early protective actions to minimize subsequent contamination of milk or other supplies should be initiated (e.g., put cows on stored feed)."

J Powr L OYST Ok cc OYSTE In general,'the exposure potential of workers in Lacey Energy Park is minimally higher than that of the general populace in the inner plume exposure, zone. The existing monitoring system on the plant site and the proposed backup system for Lacey Energy Park will give maximum warning time to the site employ- ees for both evacuation and/or sheltering. C. SPECIAL CONSIDERATION FOR BUILDING MATERIALS 1. RADIOACTIVE EMISSIONS The probability of emissions of a strength that would effect normal building materials at the distance involved are so small, and the cataclysmic nature of the associated accident, that no general change in construction techniques and material will be required. It may be advisable, especially for the employees dealing directly with the power plant effluent, to have a shelter accessible. If,the County evacuation system would be unable to handle the projected traffic in a reasonable time, the construction of shelters for the percent of the employees unable to be evacuated in the allowable time frame would be- advisable. The type of emission would be gaseous and light particulate matter. Standard fall-out shelters with air filtration would serve as holding areas until the effected employees could be safely evaucated. 146. The number of employees to be considered for shelter designing and stocking will be developed when final desi gn configuration is completed, and the County evacuation plan is completed. 2. SALT EMISSIONS The following charts (Figs. 10 & 11) show projections by JCP&L'of the amounts of salt deposition that could be expected under full load conditions. These figures may be modified by the Lacey Energy Park usage of effluent, and the corresponding reduction of cooling tower load. The calcul,ations of the effects of the Lacey Energy Park upon the cooling tower load with reg ard to salt emissions, is beyond the scope of this report. The following discussions will be based on JCP&L figures which can be assumed to be a worst case situation. Figure #11 shows the predicted air con- centration of salt from the Forked River cooling tower compare d to the naturally occurring salt due to the proximity of the Bay and Ocean. The chart reveals that the increase in salt concentration is on the order of 4% or less. The threshold of salt concentration which 3 will begin to have effect on vegetation is 10 ug/m . The expected combined salt concentration over the site is less than 2 ug/m3' which is well below the figure which would cause vegetative damage. (Ref. 14, pp. 4-132 & 4-135) 147. The expected natural deposition of salt is 300 Kg/Km2 per month ten (10) miles inland from the ocean. Figure #10 gives the expected con- centration of salt deposition due to cooling water tower, operations. The maximum deposition on the Lacey Energy Park is 14 Kg/Km2 per month or an increase of 4.3%. While in general the increase in air concentration and ground deposition are below the generally expected levels to effect vegetation or structures, a separate evaluation of the future tenants of Lacey Ener.gy Park will have to be made. The slight increases noted may have a decided effect on some of the more delicate vegetation or processes interested in locating within Lacey Energy Park. 148.

INSURANCE CONSIDERATIONS Local insurance carriers were contacted to determine the insurability of an Industrial Site located adjacent to the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The buildings and appurtenances would be insured at the prevailing area rates with only the usual considerations, such as the availability of a water distribution system used in the rate determination. In the event of a nuclear disaster an exclusion clause would be invoked that would negate all coverage and responsibility to pay on the part of the insurance company. This situation would prevail not only with the Proposed Industrial Park properties but is a general insuring exception in all such insurances wherever located'. No health insurance limitations currently exist for workers who would be employed in the Proposed Lacey Industrial Site other than general limitations regarding nuclear war or accident contingencies and consequent radiation exposure which may be contained as exclusions for general insurance practice regardless of location. Special attention should be given to Federal Statutes Ilmi ting nuclear accident liability in some instances. If insuring limitations were to become an obstruction to the location of industrial parks adjacent to nuclear generating stations some special governmental insurance programs might become necessary as is currently the case with such programs for limiting loss from foreign political actions by United States based corporations operating in foreign countries. 151. 1, I I I I i I I XII. CRITERIA FOR SITING I .. I I i I I I i I I i I X I I CRITERIA FOR SITING The following checklist may serve as a guide to assist in the siting of an industrial complex adjacent to a power generating facility: A. Regulatory Considerations 1. Local: Does the zoning of the proposed site comply with local zoning and planning criteria? 2. State: Have State agencies established a criteria for land usage around a generating facility compatable with proposed development? 3. Federal: Will the project comply with Federal requirements? B. Physical Characteristics 1. Is the proposed site comprised of sufficient area to support an economically viable project? Minimum area dependent on proposed industries and density. 2. Is the topography of the proposed site conducive to industrial development? 3. Does the site contain any environmentally sensitive areas that might preclude development or reduce developable acreage to an uneconomical level? 4. Is sufficient water of good quality available for proposed Industrial processes? 152. C. Infrastructure: 1. Does a sufficient transportation network exist for the movement of goods to and from the proposed f a c iI ity? 2. Does the local work force have the necessary skills for the proposed industries? 3. Can the local economy support any proposed growth resulting from the industrial development? 4. Does the proposed project have the support of the local governing body? D. Technical: 1. Will condenser cooling water be discharged at a sufficiently high temperature for use with little or no augmentation? 2. Are two (2) generating facilities available as heat sources to insure a reliable supply of heat? 3. Will the utility cooperate in allowing interfacing with condensor cooling discharge lines? 4. If heat augmentation and/or storage are required, what type are contemplated in relationship to local climatological conditions? 153. I I I I I I I I XIII. ESTIMATED COST ELEMENTS I I I I 'I I i t I I 'I XIII. ESTIMATED COST ELEMENTS .Estimates of the costs of implementing the various elements, of this study, are extremely difficult due to the continuously emerging inovations in materials, technology, and the fact that none of the items have really entered the mass production stage as yet. To give some idea of the magnitude of the costs that could be ehcountered in the total application, as discussed in the Aztec Energy Associates Report (See Appendix F), the "139 Edwards Engineering heat pump units projected currently, carry a capital cost of $400,000.00 per unit, require 322 KVA's to operate and are classified as 240 ton units. The type of solar collectors that would be utilized for augmentation purposes probably would run in the neighborhood of $1,000,000.00 per acre of collectors completely installed with storage and the necessary auxiliary equipment. The greenhouse construction could probably be estimated at from $3.50 to $5.00 per square foot of floor space completely erected with all necessary coils, heat transfer fins, and other devices. Ponds, such as would be utilized for aquaculture areas, could probably be constructed at an estimated cost of $400,000.00 per acre foot of capacity. Obviously, any detailed costs based on a report of this nature would not be very accurate when final design of such a facility were completed. If a conceptual study involving exact elements and sizing were to be performed much more accurate costing could be accomplished. 154. It would appear though that one of the conclusions that can be drawn from this information i's that large capital costs would be involved, substantial operating costs would be involved, substantial energy usage during power plant outages would be involved, and it would almost be necessary that the operator of the power plants be an interested party in the industrial venture or that extremely tight and enforceable agreements be drawn. It should further be noted that the cost-effectiveness of these concepts is on an increasing curve of feasibility in view of the fact that heat pump and solar equipment will undoubtably become more efficient and less expensive in terms of performance as greater demand occurs and manufacturing techniques are developed to meet those demands. In the same context purchased energy for the purposes involved will also increase greatly in price in the future, therefore.' if the past five (5) years is a guide to the future the feasibility of these concepts will increase with time and further depletion of other energy sources. 155. CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS Certain conclusions have been reached by virtue of the studies conducted to prepare this report. There are two (2) types of con- clusions. Listed first are General Conclusions that would apply to Waste Heat Utilization as a general concept for consideration by electrical generating plants. These will be listed under General Conclusions. The other grouping of conclusions are more Site Specific and would deal with the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generation Station (OCNGS) and the proposed Forked River Unit #1 (FR#I) installations and may or may not be applicable to other installations in other locales. We have included under the Site Specific: C6niclusions those derived from the Aztec Energy Associates Report inasmuch as that report was based largely on observations of conditions at the OCNGS and FR#I locations, however, some of its applicability may be readily transferred to other locations. A. GENERAL CONCLUSIONS 1. Several commercial processes investigated would appear to have potential for Waste Heat Utilization from power generating plants as follows: a. Agriculture (Greenhouse Maintanence) b. Aquaculture C. Mariculture d. Gasohol Production e. Composting f. Methane Production 9- Large scale biological or pharmaceutical culture production These operations have been listed as top priority operations inasmuch as they would require the minimum of temperature augmentation, alternative heat sources, and other additional energy sources or facilities. In addition., another group suggests itself where major heat augmentation either by on site production or otherwise, and major alternative heat sources are to be considered. These are in the category 156. of higher temperature applications such as: h. Chicken Processing i. Seafood Processing j. Vegetable or fruit proc.essing 2. A fine balance exists between the most efficient generating process and the temp- erature of its cooling water discharge versus the threshold of commercial application of the cooling water. The ideal situation is consideration of reject heat utilization in the design of the original generating facility. Retrofit operations will, of necessity, probably be somewhat less efficient and more costly. 3. Generally speaking, the problems of Waste Heat Utilization of generating plant effluents will be lesser in cooler climates. 4. Any successful cost-effective evaluation will probably have to attribute the value of the thermal pollution reduction as well as the value of the commercial operations to show a significant fiscal advantage at current fuel rates. This ad- vantage will obviously widen as fuel prices increase. 5. No commercial processes can be contemplated without an alternate heat source. The number of generating units, independently operating, available in one (1) location will determine the magnitude of the alternate heat source requirement. In addition to alternate heat sources, temperature augmentation of either the basic source water (coolant) or transfer medium would be desirable, if obtainable on a cost-effective basis. This may be necessary under certain operating conditions for some of the processes investigated, particularly during periods of marginal climatic temperatures. 6. Probable fuel costs for standby systems would destroy any economic advantages of Waste Heat Utilization unless the alternative source could be generated largely as an integral function of the utilization process without the requirement for external fuel purchases per se. Alternate heat source possibilities are: a. Utilization of a portion of the available energy to create an alternate fuel, such as; Alcohol or1lethane. b. Solar augmentation of a fraction of the effluent during periods of solar availability, combined with ground storage and heat pump recovery. 157. c. Ground water storage and heat pump application for recovery. 7. It appears that the entire concept of the Central Heat Source with heat storage and temperature augmentation of proces swater, as well as chilling of discharge water may be accomplished in State- of-the-Art technology as presented in the Aztec Energy Associates Report appended hereafter. 8. Radiation monitoring, as practiced at operating nuclear facilities, appears to be adequate for warning and protection from a purely objective point of view, but probably more stringent applications would be necessary at an adjacent industrial plant for psychological work force and health insurance program acceptance. 9. Current government regulations may limit the options available in utilization of waste heat from nuclear facilities in preparation of products involved in the food chain. 10. Where possible, certain necessary local or area functions may be feasibly integrated into a Waste Heat Utilization system to the partial advantage of the system in such a way that they could minimize, or offset perceived disadvantages of the site as a location for the primary plant. These would be particularly in the fields of sewage and solid waste treatment and reduction. B. SITE SPECIFIC CONCLUSIONS 1. There appears to be a potential for the utilization of a portion, or all, of the waste heat available from the condenser cooling water discharge from the OCNGS and the FR#1 generating facilities. 2. A direct economic benefit to the proposed FR#1, would be the possible reduction of cooling load and reduction in sizing of cooling towers or other cooling methods. A previously un-evaluated benefit to the environment could be establishing, at little or no cost, either a closed circuit for OCNGS or a return of cooling water to the Bay with little or no Delta T, thereby eliminating certain ecological degradation factors which may be undesirable. The caveat regarding this possibility is whether or not in the space available sufficient different activities can be integrated to obtain the necessary thermal reduction. It would appear that this potential exists by utilization of the chiller concept as proposed in the Aztec Energy Associates Report. 158. 3. In the spe cific situation of Lacey Township, it would appear that the traditional commercial occupations of the area, the make up of the work force available and other factors lend substantial support to the concept of Agriculture, Mariculture and Aquaculture operations. These activities also appear to have a potential for the utilization of both highly trained and low level skills available in the work force. They also appear to have the advantage of being non-labor intensive, a necessity for any commercial activity immediately adjacent to nuclear facilities where the considerations of area evacuation is a factor. 4. Water-to-water heat pumps do exist which, on a reduced unit scale., perform the necessary temperat,ure augmen- tation for the utilization of the waste heat from the OCNGS. 5. It appears impractical to utilize heat exchangers to preheat incoming winter well water because of the low difference in temperature between the two water streams. Even if heat exchangers were utilized the resulting "heated" well water would require heat pump temperature augmentation because it would be below 60'F. 1591.

A three- year demonstration project jointly funded and sponsored by Northern States Power Company, the University of Minnesota, and the U.S. Environ- mental Protection Agency has lead the way for commercial adoption of the concept. Experience during the demonstration project proved that con- denser waste heat available at approximately 85 F was suitable to main- tain a greenhouse growing environment of 55 to 60 F when outside air temperatures fell as low as -43 F. During the first year of operation of the pipeline system serving waste heat to commercial greenhouse customers, an overall availability of service of 97% was achieved.

This report focuses on progress made in developing,a system to utilize waste heat energy in an environ- mental control system for greenhouse production. This is one of several projects TVA has underway to develop technologies to utilize waste heat. The program is part of the agency's effort to ensure efficient use of resources to accelerate economid development without degrading the environment. Thus far, waste heat greenhouse developmental work has been conducted in a pilot-scale greenhouse at Muscle Shoals, Alabama. It uses an electric boiler to simulate condenser cooling water temper- atures, and is a preliminary step to a broader program. The facility A-8 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) is a conventional 7.3- by 30.5-meter glass-glazed structure that has been equipped with a waste heat environmental control system. A direct-contact evaporative pad is used in both heating and cooling. Heating is achieved by recirculating saturated air through the evapor- ative pad over which warm water is flowing. During cooling,'the greenhouse air is vented to the atmosphere, and ambient air is drawn through the pad system to provide evaporative cooling. This amount of heating or cooling is controlled by louvers allowing either recircula- tion or venting of the greenhouse air. A fin-tube heat exchanger is available for use in reducing greenhouse relative humidity.

Future plans call for the addition of two nuclear base load units by 1990 and 1992 respectively. With the expected operation of large generating units at the site both now and in the future, vast quantities of condenser reject heat may become available at temperatures sufficiently high to be of interest to commercial industria'1 heat users. Experience elsewhere in North America has indicated that relatively low temperature heat can be applied to certain agricultural and aquacultural app@ications in a commereiallY cost effective manner. The present study was conducted to ascertain if the characteristics of the Greenwood site, its present and expected future residual heat sources, and the local agri-business interest would be sufficiently compatible to allow further serious consideration of a commercially viable-reject heat use project. A-14 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) The focus 6f the study was on employing presently available reject heat as a substitute for fuel oil and natural gas now used by the greenhouse industry in Michigan. The greenhouse heating application was chosen as the focal point, because it has been shown to be a commercially feasible use of reject heat in other places, because heating costs now represent 201%. of the cost of doing business for commercial greenhouse operators, and because of a firm business inquiry to Detroit Edison by a greenhouse operator in mid-1978. The primary objectives of the study were to: 1) Identify feasible options for reject heat use at Greenwood; 2) Characterize the reject heat supply capability of the single unit peaking plant; 3) Determine the smallest commercially viable project; 4) Determine the local industry interest in reject 'ieat use at Greenwood; and 5) Identify the long range potential of the site for large scale reject heat use for greenhouses or other activities.

The purpose of this project was to evaluate and demonstrate gas recovery and utilization technology and to project the economics of such an energy recovery system. The.St. Thomas Gas Recovery and Utilization System consisted primarily of pumping landfill gas from a well installed within the landfill and utilizing that gas to heat an on-site greenhouse. Numerous gas and pressure monitoring probes were placed radially from the gas well, to measure the pressure distribution and methane concen- trations within the landfill and to determine the effects of the pumping on, the landfill. A conventional forced air gas furnace was utilized with minor modifications to heat the greenhouse over the winter of 1979. Both tomato plants and bedding plants were grown in the greenhouse, commencing in February, 1979. A-16 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) The results of this project indicate that recovering and utilizing landfill gas in an unprocessed state is feasible both physically and economically.

Needs SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACT to An Agro-Power-Wa ste Water Complex was evaluated as a system in which waste heat from power generation was dissipated by recycling hot water through a pipe network buried in agricultural land. Concurrently, municipal waste water was renovated by sprinkler irriga- tion on the land and served to maintain a high soil moisture content and soil thermal conductivity. A 0.23 acre field prototype of the Agro-Power-Waste Water Complex was constructed and measurements were obtained of soil temperature, soil thermal conductivity, heat dissipati degree of waste water renovation, soil surface temperature, and climatic variables. These data were used to test equations for pre- diction of heat dissipation and surface temperature used in a system analysis. The systems analysis indicated 4,500 acres of land with 2-in diameter pipe buried at 1-ft depth and 2-ft spacing in sandy soil would be required for a 1,500 We nuclear electric plant.

Juveniles reared in a 15-22*C daily temperature fluctuation for 126 days had significantly slower growth (p,C0.05) than those reared at a constant 22+0.5*C. They also had significantly higher mortality and less resistance to a high stress temperature (31 C) than those reared at the constant temperature. These effects appeared-to be the result of physiological stress produced by the fluctuating temperature regime. Exposure to fluctuating temp- eratures for 1-2 weeks had no evident effect on growth and survival, suggesting that such short-term exposures would not be harmful in commercial culture. Related experiments were conducted to assess effect of thermal effluent water chemistry and constant temperatures on growth and survival of larvae and juveniles (Stages I-XI).

Comparative experiments at the Redondo Generating Station employed a single temperature (23.8+0.9*C). The experiments were- conducted in individual rearing containers supplied with a continuous, open flow of effluent or non-effluent water. There were no sig nificant differences in growth and survival among lobsters held in either thermal effluent or non-effluent water at a give temperature, indicating that effluent water chemistry had no apparent effects. There were signifi- cant differences in growth of both larvae and juveniles held at the four constant temperatures. Survival of juvenile lobsters was not affected significantly by temperature, while that of larvae was. Juvenile lobsters molted more frequently at successively higher temper- atures. More frequent molting at 24.2 C and 26.3 C, however, did not result in larger individuals than those produced,by slower molting at 20.3 C. This was attributed to absence of a corresponding.increase in feeding rate and the relatively high oxygen consumption rates observed at the two highest temperatures."

The study area was a densely pop- ulated area of New Jersey not being served by district heating. A range of power plant retrofit concepts were examined. These included steam extraction (reheat or crossover) from a condensing turbine cycle, to supply a heat exchanger or back-pressure turbine and modification of condensing turbines to'back-pressure operation. Con- ceptual designs for retrofitting power plants for cogenerative operation (electricity and district heating/cooling) were developed. Innovative adaptations of existing technology were investigated that could make delivery of thermal services from central stations a reasonable invest- ment for private capital.

As part of this effort, TVA is exploring many uses for the low-grade heat energy (waste heat) contained in the large quantities of power plant condenser cooling effluent. This paper describes only the agricultural activities of TVA to develop ways to use waste heat, and they have been underway since the early 1970's. T@ie agricultural waste heat pilot-scale research and development projects facilities are located at the National Fertilizer Development Center, Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The primary objectives of the agricultural effort are to: (1) identify potential agricultural uses of waste heat, (2) develop and test technologies and management criteria for more productive uses, (3) demonstrate technologies in commercial-scale pro- duction facilities, and (4) provide technical assistance for commercial application."

Atomenergi, Nykoping, Sweden SPONSORING AGENCY SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACT ';District heating is used widely in Sweden and in many other European countries, with combined heat/electric stations supplying the base heat load in most of the larger schemes. The fuel crisis, the reluctance to have major increases in electric power commitments, and the increasing concern about the environment have increased th e national incentives to introduce such district heating systems which use, to a large extent, heat otherwise rejected. So far the economics of district heating have been debatable in the districts with low heat densities, particularly those with individual one-family houses. To extend the economic use of dis- trict heating even to such districts in the face of competition from electric space heating and individual boilers, cheaper distribution pipe systems are being developed and have already been introduced in a few demonstration districts. In particular, flexible pipes of relativel temperature-resistant plastic can be layed with very little labour effor and can distribute space. heating water and hot tap water in the same pi A-54 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) Also, special components which do not corrode in oxygenated'water have been developed or adapted to such systems; e.g., a plastic tube radiator. This paper starts by outlining the evolution of dis- trict heating schemes in Sweden, examing the economic background, and describing the technology currently in use, particularly for the smalle distribution pipe networks. It then proceeds to outline the newer technology under development, and the experimental and demonstrated work which backs it up. To complete the picture of the district heating dev- elopment issues, a brief account is given also of development in the progress on larger pipes, such as those required for large bulk heat transport from future nuclear heat/electric stations to cities able to use such large heat quantities."

Typically, this heat is found in the large quantities of cooling water necessary to condense the steam in the power generating cycle. Such cooling water is generally discharged in the range of 15 to 43*C (60 to 110*F) depending on.the temperature of the available inlet water, quantity circulated, plant load, and heat rejection system used. A number of possible uses have been suggested for this low-grade heat. Because of the low available temperatures, these uses 7 have concentrated on agricultural and aquaculture applications. It is the purpose of this paper to describe several in- novative agricultural techniques that utilize power plant reject heat.

As part of this program, performance testing of potential evaporative- pad materials has been performed at ORNL. This paper details results of an experimental invest- igation of the performance of CELdek** packing under simulated waste heat greenhouse conditions. The objective of this study was to characterize the air heating capability of the material as well as its air cooling ability. A cooling efficiency of 85 to 95%. was achieved for adiabatic saturation operation. For nonadiabatic saturation conditions air cooling in excess of 110C can be achieved if the inlet air wet bulb depression is 15*C. When the wet bulb depression is decreased to 7.86C air cooling in excess of 5.60C is achievable. A-62 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) The results also indicate that CELdek is effective in the heating mode. Energy transport was found to be strongly dependant on water flow rate. Air side pressure drop was found to vary linearly with face velocity and varied from 10.2 to 28.1 Pa over a face velocity range of 1.3 to 2.6 m/sec. The pressure drop was also found to be independent of water flow rate up to the limit (8.4 x 10-4 m3 /s/m of pad length) tested. A large nonlinear vertical air temperature variation over the down-stream face of the CELdek existed for some operating conditions. A modified water distribution system was designed which introduced the water at several horizontal planes. This reduced the vertical air temperature variation by a factor of two. CELdek was found to be satisfactory for evaporative- pad greenhouse applications and appears to be superior to other pad materials previously examined." **Trademark of the Munter Corporation, Fort Myers, Florida.

Typically, this heat is found in the large quantities of cooling water necessary to condense the steam in the power generating cycle. Such cooling water is generally discharged in the range of 15 to 43 C (60 to 110 F) depending on the temperature of the available inlet water, quantity circulated, plant load, and heat rejection system used. A number of possible uses have been suggested for this low-grade heat. These uses include: greenhouse horticulture, soil heat- ing (both open-field and in greenhouses, spray irrigation for frost pro- tection, organic waste treatment (particAlarly for algae or biomass production), and aquaculture/mariculture.

The system is designed to use waste water nutrients to grow plankton which is fed to the fish. The system was ]udged to be economically viable if fish production costs of $1.32,."kg (60(@/lb) or lower were achieved for production rates that have been experimentally verified. The results of the analysis indicate that the system is economically viable if capital costs are annualized using a 15% fixed charge rate (FCR). Feasibility of the system at a 25% FCR depends upon aeration turnover time and system food conversion efficiency. Eliminating cages from the system design decreases the capital costs and improves the economic potential of the system. Addi- tional capital cost reductions are possible if the aerators are removed from the system. However, expected fish production rates are also decreased and the system does not appear economically viable for a 25% M I- A-66 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) System design modifications due to biological consider- ations included lining the algal pond with a plastic liner and.using commercial fertilizers in place of organic waste streams. Lining the .algal ponds did not affect the feasibility of the system at a 15%, FCR, but did result in the system becoming econ omically unattractive at a 25% FCR. The use of commercial fertilizers added 15,@/kg (7<.,/Ib) to the production but did not have serious adverse affects on the feasibility of the,system. The system appears to have economic.promise and should be examined further. Operation of a small experimental system.to verify the estimated performance parameters is needed."

Brna ABSTRACT The report gives results of a study of the feasibility of using low grade(700F) wcste heat from the condenser cooling water of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant at Vernon for commercial food enhancement. The study addressed: the possible impact of laws on the use.of waste heat from a nuclear plant for food production, alternative greenhouse designs suitable for the site, and an economic and marketing model for greenhouse crops.. Using surface heat exchangers for green- house heating appeared to permit compliance with the Delaney Amendment of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act when condenser cooling water is the heating medium at a nuclear plant. The low temperature of the waste heat source suggested that supplemental greenhouse heating will be re- quired (a biogas facility using wastes from a dairy herd near the plant was proposed as being economically attractive). A greenhouse design employing heaters using methane from the proposed biogas facility and a cropping schedule for the greenhouses was recommended.

Suffern and M. Olszewski PERFORM114G ORGANIZ ATIO" Oak Ridge National Laboratory SPONSORING AGENCY U.S. Department of Energy SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACT "A waste heat aquaculture system using extensive culture techniques is currently under investigation at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The system uses nutrients in waste water streams to grow algae and zooplankton which provide feed for fish and clams. A tilapia polyculture association and the freshwater clam Corbicula are the animals cultured in the system. The investigations detailed in this study have been performed to determin'e the economic and biological feasibility of the system and examine energy utilization. A net energy analysis identified the energy saving potential for the system. This analysis included all energy costs (both direct and indirect)'associated with building and operating the system. The economic study indicated that fish production costs of $0.55/kg ($0.24/lb) were possible. Thi's cost, however, depends upon the fish production rate and food conversion efficiency and could rise to as much as $1.6 5/kg )$0.75/lb). A-72 AOSTRACT (C@^NTJNUED) The biological studies have examined growth relation- ships and production potential of the cultured organisms. In the lab- oratory, growth-temperature optima have been defined (32 C, with good growth rates between 26 and 34 C) for tilapia hybrids. In addition, growth rate acceleration experiments have been carried out, developing techniques which yield 40% higher growth rates in experimental fish as compared with controls. Using cage culture techniques in sewage oxida- tion ponds, we have obtained production estimates in excess of 50,000 kg/ha/yr (50,000 lb/acre/yr). The energy utilization study indicated that, when all energy costs are included , fish from the aquaculture system may require only 35% of the net energy now required for fish products from the ocean. However, the energy requirements also depend on system'parameters and could be as large as the energy required for ocean caught products. The analyses indicate that the system is economically feasible. They also indicate that significant energy savings are possible if waste heat aquaculture products replace ocean caught product3.

In late June -1978, a-*t@horization was received to proceed with a first phase of the Watts Bar Waste Heat Park development which was to take approximately six months and consist mainly of (1) preparing an engineering design and cost estimate for a full-scale waste heat tie-in and distribution system, (2) identifying and describing factors affecting park devel- opment (legal, regulatory, socioeconomic, etc.), (3) assessing waste heat augmentation technologies, and (4) identifying potential classes of waste heat users. The result-s of Phase I are reported herein and are the product of inputs from virtually every division and/or office within TVA. The Phase I feasibility analysis, conducted on a 100POO gpm, waste heat distribution system for a 400-acre site at Watts Bar, uncovered no insurmountable barriers (engineering regulatory, -QnnMin_ in nal. a-tc.) to prevent entering another developmental A-75 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) phase for the park. An analysis of multiple uses showed greenhouse heating and cooling has the greatest near-term potential for commercial application in a portion of the park, while several other applications showed definite development potential for locating in the park over time. Ultimate park employment could conceivably range from 400 to 750 with A $3.2 million to $6.0 million annual payroll, and secondary employment in surrounding communities could result in an additional 120 to 225 employees with an additional total secondary economic impact of $2.9 million to $5.5 million. The park also has potential to serve as a demonstration site for a number of the latest energy technology developments.

An experiment was con- ducted to assess the dependence of growth rate, molting frequency and survival on the amount of horizontal surface area provided for each 2 lobster. Eight sizes of individual containers ranging from 6 to 750 cm were provided. Parallel experiments were conducted in containers made of both transparent and translucent materials so that the effects of vi sual communication d1so could be determined. The experiments have been in progress for 24 months. Growth and.survival have been severely reduced in the smaller rearing containers. Molting frequency was not as severely affected. No signif- icant differences in growth were found between lobsters in visual contacl and visual isolation.

Van Olst, J.M. Carlberg and R.F. Ford PERFORMING ORGANIZATION San Diego State University Department of Biology SPONSORING AGENCY NOAA Office of Sea Grant and Southern California Edison SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACT to The effect of elevated temperatures in accelerating the growth rates of many aquatic organisms is well documented. In aqua- culture this can help reduce total production costs within temperature ranges that produce normal survival and food conversion efficiency. Low-cost sources of warm seawater for use in mariculture include the naturally occurring warm areas of the tropics, geothermal brine wells, solar energy devices to heat seawater indirectly, and thermal effluent from coastal power plants. Research at San Diego State University has focused on the use of this latter heat source in the culture of the American lobster, Homarus americanus. The major objectives of this continuing program have been to develop a commercially feasible production system for the American lobster and to assess the benefits and problems involved in using thermaleffluent as an economick source of heated water. The research is being conducted in laboratories at two electrical generating stations--the Encina Power Plant of the San A-81 ABSTRACT (CONTINUED) Gas and Electric Company, and the Ormond Beach Generating Station of the Southern California Edison Company. Other related experiments are conducted in the San'Diego State University aquaculture laboratory at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The work is part of an integrated and carefully planned program to develop commercially viable lobster culture in the United States. Major areas of investigation include: 1) the use of thermal effluent to accelerate growth rates; 2) the effects of various temperature and photoperiod regimes on growth; 3) the physiological effects of potentially toxic substances from industrial pollution or culture system materials on lobsters cultured in thermal effluent; 4) the development of suitable artificial foods in cooperation with scientists at the Bodega Marine Laboratory and the Foremost Research Center; 5) energetics and food conversion studies; 6) development of more efficient techniques for communal rearing of lobsters; 7) evaluatior of an H americanus X H. gammarus hybrid for use in commercial culture: 8) development of methods and systems for the individual rearing of lobsters to market size; and 9) economic studies of the commercial feasibility of lobster culture. This paper describes several of the techniques and systems developed for use of thermal eff-luent in aquaculture. Novel methods are used in interfacing with the electrical generating station s o that interfer ence with plant operations is minimal. Automated mixkQ valve systems also are employed to blend intake and discharge water to intermediate temperatures. Solutions for gas supersaturation problems are described.

Part of this research is underway in a spe.cial laboratory developed in cooperation with the Research and Devel- opment Program of the Southern California Edison Company at their Redondo Beach Generating Station. Separate studies supported by the NOAA Office of Sea Grant and the State of California are underway in a similar laboratory at.the Encina Power Plant of the San Diego Gas & Electric Company. These laboratories are supplied with both thermal effluent and ambient temperature seawater. Pneumatic mixing valves are employed to obtain experimental temperatures. Parallel experiments .are conducted using electrically heated and ambient ocean temperature water in the University's aquaculture laboratory at the Scripps tution of OngannUrAphig, A-83 The effects of chemicals in thermal effluent on lobsters maintained in aquaculture systems were evaluated. Atomic absorption analysis of intake and effluent water samples from three fossil fuel generating stations in southern California indicated that their chemical additions did not affect concentr ations of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb, and As in the thermal effluent. Concentrations of these metals in the intake effluent water -t the Encina Power Plant were not significantly different than their concentrations in seawater from Scripps, and were well within the reported ranges for levels of those metals in normal seawater. All of these studies indicate that the thermal effluent from typical fossil fuel generating stations in southern California provides a suitable heated water source for the culture of Homarus americanus. The optimal temperature for culturing H. americanus is approximately 22 C. During late suinmer and early fall, ambient 'ocean temperatures approach this level in southern California. Therefore, thermal effluent would be utilized to a lesser extent during that part of the year. In other areas with lower ambient water temperatures, thermal effluent would provide a major, year-round source of waste heat for lobster production." A-84 TECHNICAL REPORT DATA REPORT Mo.

Kavka Public Service Electric & Gas Company DATE Newark, New Jersey 10/15/79 LOCATION PSE&G Newark, NJ -DISCUSSION 1. Dr. Zwillenberg is one of PSE&G's experts on district heating who is presently working on a U.S. D.O.E. sponsored grant to study the retrofiting of several power plants for the possibility of supplying district heat. 2. Phase I study conclusion was that only fossil fuel plants can be retrofitted for district heat application; it is too expensive to retrofit nuclear plant. 3. General observation is that district heating will not be commer- cially available until 1985. Aquaculture and Agriculture are ready for commercial application now. 4. Heat pumps are necessary for district heat. 5. The most efficient heat source for district heating was found to be steam at approximately 290 F, which would have to be extracted from the boiler's main steam. 6. The Dow-Midland Cogeneration project was discussed. I I I I I I I I APPENDIX C OVER VIEW OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTION I I I I I I I I I I I APPENDIX C AN OVER VIEW OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTION Before embarking on detailed discussions on alcohol production, it is necessary and interesting to first consider the ove rall process. Regardless of the raw materials being used to produce alcohol, there are invariably four major steps involved: 1. Raw materials rich in carbohydrates must in some way be converted into fermentable sugars. 2. The fermentable sugars must be utilized by yeast to produce alcohol. 3. The alcohol produced during dermentation must be concentrated by distillation. 4. The spent mash left after the alcohol has been removed must.be processed into a by-product. PRETREATMENT STEPS The object of the pretreatment step is to make available a fermentable sugar for the yeast. To do this, it may be ne'cessary to reduce the size of the raw material to make it accessable to either acid or enzyme treatment. The raw material, having been ground, will need to be cooked in order to bring about a liquefaction of the carbohydrates. If the raw material is coated by an obstructing material, it may need to be extracted with the use of acid or alkali. For example, in the case of straw, lignin has to be extracted using alkali. Where the raw material is already in a fermentable form, for example sugarcane, sugar beets, or molasses, it may need to be , sterilized to enable the yeast to successfully ferment without undue competition from contaminating bacteria. The pretreatment stage very often depends upon nature's catalyst, namely the enzymes, for its success. C-1. FERMENTATION Having produced the fermentable sugars, the next stage is to convert these by mea'ns of yeast in an aerobic fermentation into alcohol. Yeast is a living organism which we will later refer to as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or literally, "sugar fermenting". The yeast selected will be such that it can tolerate high alcohol content and work under the widest possible conditions. The fermentation step may involve strict control over the acidity and the temperature of the mash and will probably utilize commercial enzymes. These enzymes will continue the breakdown of the carbohydrates to fermentable sugars. Fermentation takes place over a period of 1-3 days and at the end of fermentation we have a low alcohol beer. The alcohol content may vary between 5 and 15/10. CONCENTRATION STEP Concentration is either carried out in a pot still or in a continuous still based on the original copy still design. The object of the concentration is to remove selectively the volatile alcohol leaving behind the nonvolatile components. Continuous fermentation will occur in a number of stills commencing with the beer still, which brings the strength of the alcohol from 10-11% present in the beer to 50-60%. The rectifying column will then further concentrate the alcohol up to 95% alcohol. In order to bring about the final concentrations to 100%, it is necessary to use a further column, the so-called anhydrous column. In the operation of the anydrous column, it will be necessary to use an entrainer such as Benzene, Heptone, Hexane, Ether, or Gasoline to remove the final 5% water. Having removed the alcohol' from the mash, we are left with a resultant called stillage. This stillage presents both an effluent disposal problem and also an opportunity, in that it is very high in protein and represents an excellent animal feed supplement. Normally, the insoluble solids are centrifuged off whereas the solubles are evaporated in a multi- stage evaporator and then mixed with the,insoluble solids. C-3. APPENDIX D RELIABILITY OF THE INTERFACING SYSTEM APPENDIX 0 RELIABILITY OF THE INTERFACING SYSTEM "The availability of waste heat to the users is de- pendent upon the availability of substantial waste heat from at least one unit and the proper functioning of the waste heat interfacing system. Several features which enhance the reliability of the interfacing system are included in the conceptual design. The single most im- portant feature is that there is a tie-in to both generating units regardless of the operating status of the other unit. Each of the two pumping stations in the interfacing system has three 50-percent capacity pumps, so that outage of a single pump in each station does not reduce the waste heat availability. Other than the pumping stations and the tie-ins to the plant, there are no moving parts in the interfacing system. The simplicity of the interfacing system enhances its reliability. Also, the fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) piping is not susceptible to corrosion, which should reduce the potential for leakage problems. The overriding factor in the delivery of heated water is the.availability of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant units. Availability of heated water has been analyzed on two different bases. In the first method the three Browns Ferry units were used to prepare an estimated outage rate for two units. When the average of the three possible combinations is used,, we obtain a total outage rate of about 8 percent for two nuclear units. Our current records indicate that during the commercial operation, since the fire occurred at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, the three units have had 132 outages with an average length of about 35 hours. The longest forced outage was about 1,308 hours. The data for the Browns Perry units only covers about 6.4 unit years of commercial operation excluding the outage for the fire, and this short period of commercial operation could lead to false assumptions in using the data. The second method used to estimate the probability of outage time on an annual basis was based upon the cumulative availability factors of the 38 PWR nucle'ar units as reported in the Operating Units Status Report (NRC Gray Book). The September, 1978, data indicates these units have an average cumulative availability factor of about 74 percent. The probability of only one unit being on line is about 38 percent. The probability of both units being out of service is about 7 percent or about 613 hours per year". (Ref. 10, C. IV., p.11) Appendix D has been included only to demonstrate the advisability of having two or more power plants serving as heat sources for industrie park applications, as is the case for the Watts Bar Study.

Introduction The Lacey Township Industrial Commission has undertaken this study to evaluate the concept of using waste heat supplied by the oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS) as a source of supplemental energy. It is the hope of the Commission that this system may help support an industrial park adjacent to the power plant. It is the objective of this study to review and assess any prior- ities and problems which may occur in the employment of a heat dis- tribution system. The proposed design calls for the use of the heated effluent water from OCNGS in a condenser system which will transfer the waste heat to piped-in groundwater from a well sit- uated on OCNGS property. The condenser will be encased in a rock containment through which the heated saltwater effluent will flo@v. (See Figs. 1, 2.) This report will investigate the quality of both the intake and effluent waters of OCNGS and their relationship to direct use in the condenser system. Also point out will be the factors involved in the use of the groundwater system. E-1.

Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. II. Intake Water of the Power Plant 1. Quality The intake water at OCNGS is drawn from Barnegat Bay through r a dredged circulating canal. This cooling water is then sent into the power plant condenser at a dam constructed across the circula- ting canal. The quality of this intake water lists as follows: TABLE 1 PARAMETER OCNGS INTAKE Calcium 289 Magnesium 881 Sodium 7,134 Chloride 12,680 Sulfate 1,816 Phosphate 0.7 Bicarbonate 100 Silica 18.0 Iron 0.6 Manganese 0.01 Salinity 23,000 Alkalinity CaC03 82 pH 6.95 E-4. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. III. Effluent Water of the Power Plant in relation to direct use in the Heat Distribution System 1. Quality It is assumed that the effluent from the OCNGS condenser owns the same parameters as the intake water from Barnegat Bay (see Table 1) except for the temperature increase and the effects of the chlorination that is employed to clean the condenser system at the power plant. (See Graphs 1, 2) This cooling water effluent is re- leased back into the discharge canal and drains further into the Barnegat Bay system, thereby havings its waste heat assimilated by the receiving water. In the desire to make the most effective use of this waste heat, the cooling water effluent will be pumped into the condenser and will transfer it's heat there before being re- leased back into the bay system. As stated earlier, the condenser will be surrounded by a con- tainment filled with rocks through which the heated waste water will circulate (see Fig. 2). It is suggested that these rocks be large cobble size, rounded and uniform, and also be,well sorted. According to the principles of geology, the movement of any subsurface water is largely controlled by the porosity and permeability of various rocks. The porosity of a rock deposit (i.e., condenser rock con- tainment) is equal to the ratio of the volume of pore space to the total volume of the material, including it's pores. The velocity, or rate of flow, of the heated effluent water through the condenser system tank would equal the hydraulic gradient (loss of energy due to friction per unit of distance traveled) multiplied by the co-effi- cient of permeability (degree to which material can transmit flow of fluid). Large cobbles such as those encountered in the Delaware River system may be the type of material needed to surround the condenser system. Through the action of the river transportation system, these cobbles have been well sorted and weathered to a smooth round size. The use of these rocks would lower infiltration velo- city aroundthe condenser core with a net savings in pumping costs and a lower horsepower. Let it also be noted that the temperature effects from the heated cooling water should be negligible in rela- tion to further physical weather of these cobbles (Allison, et. al.

Quality (continued) Geology: The Science of a Changing Earth, 1974, p. 115). 2. Heating and Chlorination The major problem that must be addressed.in this section is the possible buildup of bacteria and algae within the condenser rock containment. First, the choice of rounded cobbles is supported here in that there will be less "hidden" areas where bacterial and algal growths may proliferate undisturbed by the circulating water volo- city. There do occur certain thermophilic bacteria and algae in nature that are able to carry on active cell metabolism and multiply at approximate temperatures of 500-600 C. (encyclopedia reference). Some thermophiles are active also at lower temperature ranges which are within the boundaries of the low grade heat that occurs in po@er plant effluents. Heat added to water has been known to result in growths of filamentous algae, other types of aquatic plants and in- creased incubation of bacteria due to increased rates of photosyn- thesis and productivity. (Krenkel, P.A., and Parker, F. L., Bio- logical Aspects_of Thermal Pollution, 1969, p. 147) Nevertheless, for all bacteria and algae, there exist specific critical points of temperature, which above or below, there occurs decreased growth and eventual death. Natural systems are characterized by a high diver- sity of species and it has been found that raising temperatures be- yond the optimum for these species reduces diversity (Krenkel, Par- ker, p. 183). As with temperature variations in seawater, bacteria and algae are known to become adapted to changes in pH values and maintain normal physiological functions. (encyclopedia reference) The destruction rate of bacteria and algae is dependent on temp- erature, PH and chlorine concentration; however, since temperature and pH ranges that are encountered in practice are normally in the acceptable range for growth, the chlorination of power plant cooling water is essential to prevent condenser fouling. The condenser rock containment will depend on the chlorination process in the power plant to prevent bacteria and algae buildup on the rocks if the ef- Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. 2. Heating and Chlorination (continued) fluent water is to be piped directly from the plant to the rock containment. Further chlorination may be needed if the effluent water is first mixed with the water in the discharge canal and then diverted to the rock containment. Research indicates that the effect of chlorination of the heated water at the point of discharge seemed to reduce the sizes of certain algal populations (number of individuals), but not the number of species in discharge canals. (Krenkel, Parker, p. 173 T.P.) One final parameter on the quality of the OCNGS effluent con- cerns the effects of stratified flow. "If the discharge from a power plant is in the form of an overflow, mixing between the upper and lower layers is inhibited, thus minimizing oxygen replacement and self-purification in the lower layer." The heated effluent water will remain on the top layer. "Due to lack of mixing,, organic wastes discharged into the lower layer do not have access to.'the oxygen in that portion of the stream flowing in the upper layer. Thus, there is less dissolved oxygen, less dilution water and a more concentrated organic load in the lower layer leading to an accelera- tion of the dissolved oxygen depletion. The result may be a consid- erable reduction in the waste-assimilative capacity of the'receiving water. If the Heated discharge is completely mixed with the receiving water, some of the above-mentioned effects are eliminated; however, the rise in temperature still causes a decrease in the ability of the water to hold dissolved oxygen, an increase in the metabolic activity of organisms, an increased rate of BOD exertion, and a possible re- duction in waste-assimilative capacity." (Krenkel, Parker, pp. 22-23) It has also been observed that heated effluents may "hug" shore- line areas. This separation of flow has the same effects as vertical separation. Thus, temperature has a marked effect on the waste assimilative capacity of the receiving water causing them to no longer satisfac- torily assimilate BOD loads, as under preveious lower temperature con- ditions. (see graphs 3, 4, 5) All of these factors-will effect the usefulness of the condenser unit if the heated effluent from OCNGS is first released into the E-9. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc.

Mechanical Pumping Mechanical pumping can be accomplished by using horizontal/cen- trifugal booster pumps. The effects of the nuclear effluent water would be several in nature. Short-term effects are thermal expan- sion and contraction of the metals that the pump is made of, result- ing in early mechanical seal leaks around the shaft that drives the impeller. The change of algae buildup, or bacteria, would be very limited due to the chlorination and the high volute velocities. Mechanical embrittlement is possible after a significant number of years in service. Embrittlement is a function of thermal transience and the ihter-relationship between active radioisotopes in the water and the metals that make up the centrifugal pump fl. uid end. Downstream effects in the distribution system are possible algae buildup and bacteria development. It is the belief that the distance of pumping the effluent to this heat distribution system is important due to the velocities and frictional forces that would make it eas- ier for bacteria and algae buildup to survive. Thus, we would have a changing total dynamic pumping head on the centrifugal pump. As a result, this would greatly affect the flow into the area surround- ing the condenser, i.e., rock containment. Special epoxy lined pumps can be designed in hopes of reducing probabilities of pump failure due to the above criteria at a nominal cost. E-13 Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. IV. Groundwater Quality The quality of the water well'at Oyster-Creek is as stated in Table 3-8 of the Oyster Creek Well Water analysis. Groundwater in the Kirkwood Formation aquifer is commonly acidic, may con.tain, excess ironand have a hydrogen sulfide odor..(see.figs. 3,: 4) (Temperature log supplied by Holm Well Drilling, Inc.) 2. Quantity A deep well lineshaft vertical turbine could be installed in the Oyster Creek water well to supply the necessary needs of water flow through the condenser to heat same. Pump tests have been con- ducted by Holm Well Drilling, Inc. which show a yield exceeding 400 GPM. Greater yields can be obtained from the. Oyster Creek well, if needed. The size and horsepower of the deep well water-lubri.cate d vertical turbine could be designed to meet the,pumping characteris- tics for the condenser. The estimated top end yield on t he Oyster Creek well would be 20"00 GPM. (Information obtained from Holm Well Drilling, Inc. See included log.) 3. Mechanical Handling Properties As outlined in the brief above, mechanical pumping Would be hand- led by a deep well lineshaft vertical turbine. The pumping charac- teristic, i.e., total dynamic head of the system, could be met with- out any difficulty. Oxidation/reduction action and const.ituent parameters listed in Table 3-8 would have a long term effect on the pump: bowls, lineshaft and column, and also in the distributi on sys- tem after the discharge from the head of the pump. 4. Possible Treatment Required Treatment of this water could be accomplished by filtering through rapid sand filtration and softening could be accomplished by an ion- exchange column, assuming that the flows are below 250 GPM to make it equitable for the condenser. Ion-exchange columns to handle flows greater than that mentioned get involved in prohibitive costs and other methods, such as aeration and sedimentation, would be more effective in removing the iron, which is the largest problem on the list. 'Lime soda injection could adjust the PH at a reasonable ex- pense, independent of flow. If the water was not treated prior to entering the condenser, E-14. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc.

WELLS All water supplies in the area surrounding the siste are derived from wells, whether individual or multiple residence water systems. Such wells generally are at least 60 feet deep to preclude contamination from saltwater intrusiton or septic tanks. A 300-foot well supplies potable and other water demands to Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station, with the analysis given in Table 3-8. During test boring for Oyster Creek Station, ground water levels were encountered less than 10 feet below grade. The ground water surface slopes from the west downward toward the bay. Thus, surface drainage at the Forked River Station site is toward the canals to the east, the South Branch of Forked River to the north, and Oyster Creek to the south. The Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station circulating water canals have been in existence for three years without known salt water intrusion into the local aquifers.

Summary It has been the purpose of this study to outline the p rl Or'i fe is' and problems in the use of OCNGS waste heat as a supplemental'ene'rgy- source for condenser heat. The use of Barnegat Bay water in the power plant alters th4' temperature, t,he chloride content and the pH slightly. These fac-' tors all have an effect on the receiving water in the discharge 'canal. By itself, the increased temperature will not destroy growths of algae and bacteria, which could build up within the condenser rock containment. The chlorination of the cooling water to clean the power plant condensers should effectively aid in keeping the rock containment free from fouling, if the effluent is piped directly to the condenser system. High BOD lo,ads, due to stratified flow in the receiving canal, may cause problems by decreasing the waste-assir@i- lative capacity of this water. Pre-filtering of the groundwater should prevent any problems as- sociated with the buildup of geo-chemical parameters. E-20. Environmental Testing Laboratories, Inc. VI.

NEW JERSEY 08731 Abstract A review of current heat pump technology indicates it is feasible In terms of existing equipment to augment the temperature of the waste heat from the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. It is also possible to store a given quantity of heat for use during plant shutdown periods. Two designs are outlined which offer promise In terms of heat storage capacity and suitable temperature delivery. One design utilizes phase change materials to store heat. The technology and materials for this type of storage presently exists in the marketplace. The second design proposal Involves heat storage as chemical potential energy. As the technology of the chemical heat pump remains to be developed, it is more likely the first design proposal has more merit. In conclusion it appears that the entire concept of the Central Heat Source with heat storage is feasible. F-1. AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 INTRODUCTION The Lacey Township Industrial Commission has proposed the-concept of a municipally-supported industrial park adjacent to the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS). In conjunction with this proposal Lacey Township has undertaken a study to evaluate the concept of utilizing waste heat from the power plant as a supplemental energy source for the industrial park. The conunissioned study, prepared by Northwest Engineering, Inc.1 proposes a central'heat source to Interface the power plant with the industrial park. It is the purpose of this report to evaluate this concept in light of current technology and, if appropriate, to suggest the most efficient combination of technologies to accomplish the desired goal of the Central Heat Source facility. The objectives of this report are to: 1. Review current heat pump technology as it applies to the proposed Central Heat Source. 2. Evaluate the feasibility of utilizing a heat pump system to augment the temperature of the waste heat from the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (OCNGS). 3. Identify storage systems appropriate to the Central Heat Source facility. F-2. AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 08731 REVIEW OF CURRENT HEAT PUMP'TECHNOLOGY The concept of the heat pump is quite old having its origins in the sixteenth and seventeenth century theorie s of mechanical engines. The earliest analogies of heat pumps to water pumps are still used in the modern literature to describe the theoretical operation of the equipment. Just as a water pump requires the addition of outside energy to increase the potential energy of the water, so does a heat pump require outside energy to move heat against its natural potential gradient, i.e., from a lower temperature to a higher temperature. The apparent contradiction of the conservation of energy principle (the First Law of Thermo- dynamics) arises from a failure to consider the entire system Involved. In general only the electrical energy input and the heat output of the engine are discussed because to the engineer these are the relevant design parameters. As defined previously this ratio of heat output to electrical input is the co efficient of performance (COP) of.the equipment. If the entire system involved in the energy transfer were considered the operating efficiency would agree with the conservation of energy principle and In fact for a real engine this efficiency would be well below 100%, as predicted by the Second Law of Thermodynamics. F-3 I AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 The specific application of heat pump technology which is the subject of this report involves the input of large volumes of salt water at low temperatures and subsequent heat transfer to large volumes of fresh water from deep wells. Of significant importance is the fact that the salt water input to the heat pump is the effluent from the"Oyster Greek Nuclear Generating Station. Therefore, not 'only must the heat pump be capable of handling input water of pH8 .0 but also of isolating this water in a nuclear sense. The use of titanium steel for the coil of the heat pump would solve both the salt water and the isolation problems. The quality of the incoming fresh water also impacts.on the design of the equipment. The incoming fresh water contains. relatively high concentrations of iron which would eventually cause fouling of the exchanger in the heat pump. Provision must be made for periodic cleaning of the fresh water exchange coil if the problem of fouling is to be eliminated. Fortunately all large-scale industrial heat pumps provide for the capability to perform regular cleaning and maintenance on exchanger coils. The heat pump specified in the Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagram (A) is the water-to-water type, commonly referred to as a "water chiller". 'As indicated by the name the most frequent F-4. AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 68731 use of this equipment is for commercial refrigeration. However, a water-cooled water chiller also serves well the designated purpose of temperature augmentation. Heat is removed from the entering effluent by means of the expansion cycle of a refrigerant, and this heat is added to the entering fresh water by way of a compression cycle with the same refrigerant. The technology necessary to accomplish this task is well-developed and reliable as any mechanical engineer can attest. However, in order to evaluate the feasibility of the application of this technology to the Central Heat Source the specific design parameters must be matched to existing equipment. @eat Pump Design Parameters - Central Heat Source As proposed the heat pump in the Central Heat Source is most necessary during the winter months. Because the OCNGS is a single- pass open-cycle plant the average effluent temperature during the 146 day winter period is 59 degrees F. Based on the suggested Energy Park industry mix a minimum temperature augmentation of 42 degrees F is necessary to sustain winter production. Therefore, the design parameters for the Central Heat Source heat pump are as follows: F- AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 08731 OCNGS Effluent Deep Well Fresh Wat.er Entering Temperature 53 degrees F minimum 53 degrees F Exiting Temperature 34 degrees F minimum 95 degrees F Flow 340009PM 15000gpm Because OCNGS operates at a maximum delta T of +19 degrees F envirorimental,benefit is maximized by returning effluent water at a delta T of -19 degrees F, i.e., the intake water to the plant and the outlet water from the Central Heat@Source are at the same temperature. An additional environmental benefit can result if it is possible to recirculate the cooled effluent back to the power plant in a closed loop. To gain these advantages it is necessary to operate the Central Heat Source heat pump at a delta T equal to that of the cooling cycle of the power plant. Heat pumps do exist with characteristics within the given parameters though on a much smaller scale. For example, Application Engineering of Elkgrove Village, Illinois manufactures a 217 ton unit' 1 ton of refrigeration = 12,000 BTU/hour that uses 261 gpm of entering water at 53 degrees F to raise 118 gpm of fresh water from 53 degrees F to 95 degrees F. The temperature augmentation of this unit is correct for the Central Heat Source AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 design though the capacity of the unit is well below optimum. The COP of this unit under design condition is 5.0, i.e., 192 kilowatts input and 953 kilowatts output. Because of its capacity approximately 130 units would be required to handle the projected flow of 34,000 gpm inlet water. Unfortunately this unit is typical of present large- scale heat pump technology. Economics of scale apparently preclude the manufacture of units above the 300 to 400 ton ra nge. Based on this fact a minimum number of heat pump units can be calculated to provide the desired temperature augmentation: Mass. Specific Heat Change in Temperature = Heat to be Augmented (34000gpm)(60 min/hr)(8.34 lb/gal)(1 BTU/lb-degree F)(19 degrees F)= 3.23x108 BTU/hr. (3.23 x 12 8BTU/hr.) 2.69 x 104 tons capacity 7_12 x 10' BTU/hr/ton capacity Assuming 21 7 tons capacity/ unit 2.69 x 104 tons capacity - 1.24 x 10 2 units = 124 units 2.17 x 104 tons capacity / unit The minimum number of heat pump units necessary to carry out the proposed design conditions is 124. Assuming a regular maintenance F-7 AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 08731 program and 10% additional capac ity for emergency backup the most probable minimum number of heat pump units in the proposed Central Heat Source is 136. Summary Of central Heat Source Review Technology presently exists to varify the feasibility of the pro- posed Central Heat Source as shown in the Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagram (A). Water-to-water heat pumps do not exist which, on a reduced unit scale, perform the proposed design temperature augment- ation. The material construction of these units appears to success- fully'answer problems of corrosion, maintenance and flow isolation. The relatively high COP's of these unity indicates an effi cient use of external energy in the augmentation process. As to the Proposed Lacey Energy Park Flow Diagram (B)-only a brief observation is appropriate. The proposed use of heat exchangers to transfer heat from the effluent to the deep well fresh water is only feasible when a significant delta T exists between the two fluid streams. As the average winter temperature of the effluent is 60 degrees F and the well water is a constant 53 degrees F, the necessary thermal gradient for significant heat transfer is lacking. Since heat pumps are still required to augment fresh water temperatures for prac- tically the same delta T, it would appear impract ical to utilize heat AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 exchangers to preheat incoming winter well water. Central Heat Source Storage The proposed Central Heat Source contains a rock containment 7 area designed to store 6.2 x 10 BTU of heat. The points are made that rock storage is low-cost and readily available. It is also true that rocks store sensible heat, i.e., heat as a function of temperature change. In an industrial park where the-temperature of the delivered heat may be critical, sensible heat storage is a potential problem. Assuming heat removal from storage becomes necessary during a winter shutdown of the power plant, it-would be expected that the initial temperature of the delivered heat would equal that of the temperature augmented fresh water cir- culating within the rock containment area. However, as heat con- tinues to be removed from rock storage, the temperature would drop in proportion to the heat removal rate. Very quickly the stored heat would require its own augmentation to be of value to park industries. The problems associated with sensible heat storage can be overcome through the use of phase change at a suitable temperature. In the phase change process, large quantities of latent heat are AZTEC ENERGV ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 involved. This latent heat is associated with the change of state of material and in no way is it related to sensible heat. Latent heat transfer occurrs at a constant temperature while sensible heat trans- fer requires a temperature gradient. Therefore, by proper selection of the phase change material the output of the heat storage area can be delivered at a constant, useful temperature. Most of the research involving latent heat storage materials has been applied by the solar energy Industry. Early problems such as the corrosive nature of the materials and the limited number of phase changes of some materials have been overcome. Two commercially available materials, calcium chloride (CaC12,6H20) and sodium sulfate (Na2so 4* 1OH20), are commonly used in the solar industry and have suitable phase change temperatures. Of the two, sodium sulfate decahydrate (Glauber's salt) has the higher phase change temperature, 90 degrees F (32.2 degrees C) but the lower latent heat, 60 BTU/1b. Calcium chloride hexahydrate's phase change occurrs at 81 degrees F (27.2 degrees C) but it can store 82 BTU/lb. The following summarizes the application of each material to the heat storage facility: Na 2so 4* 10H20 CaCl 2* 6H20 Phase Change Temperature 90 degrees F 81 degrees F Latent Heat 60 BTU/1b. 82 BTU/lb. Storage Capacity 120,000 BTU/ton 164,00b BTU/ton AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 0 8731 When compared to rock (8,800 BTU/ton) either of the above materials can provide an equal heat storage capacity in a much reduced volume. Assuming a need to store.6.2 x 107 BTU's as in the proposed design, the weight and space requirements are as follows: Na2so 4' 10H20 CaCl 2* 6H20 Rocks Weight Required For Design Heat Storage 517 tons 378 tons 7050 tons Storage Volume Relative to Rock (20% voids) .096 .061 1.0 Storage of heat in phase change materials presents advantages in weight, volurie, and delivery temperature. Even the durability of phase change materials is equal to or better than that of rocks because the materials are encapsulated in an ultra-high molecular weight, high density polyethelene. The only limitation imposed by this material is a high temperature limit of 190 degrees F. Under design operating conditions this limit poses no problem. Even with the advantages inherent in the use of phase cha nge materials the delivery temperature of heat is somewhat below optimum. A second possibility exists for the storage of heat and subsequent delivery at high temperatures. The chemical heat storage associated with a chemical heat pump has the desired operational characteristics. A chemical heat pump operates in the following way: F-1 I . AZTEC ENERGV ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 "Two chambers, designated A and B, are connected with each other by vacuum-tubes. The chamber A contains a substance ab- sorbing vapour, for instance Na2S, while an evaporating substance or liquid, water for instance, is found in chamber B. All gases other than water vapour are assumed to be removed by means of a simple vacuum pump which, having completed its task, is in prin- ciple disconnected." "Owing to its hydroscopic properties the salt readily absorbs the water, with the result that the water vapo-ur evaporating from the water in chamber B is absorbed by the salt in chamber A. The absorbed water is integrated in the crystal structure of the salt, as water of crystallization, forming a hydrate. During the process, thermal energy is required in B to evaporate the water (vaporization heat). In chamber A thermal energy is released when the water vapor is absorbed by the salt (condensation heat). At the same time a certain quantity of chemical binding energy (hydration heat) is released when the water molecules are integrated in the crystal structure of the salt. Thus chamber B is cooled in the process and at the same time heat is evolved in chaffber A." (Ref.2, P.10) Assuming chamber B is kept at 53 degrees F by circulating ground water, the output temperature would be between 120 degrees F and 140 degrees F, depending on the rate of heat removal. The concept of interest is the storage of heat in the form of chemical potential energy. The heat is stored during the charging cycle of chamber A which for the above materials takes place at 158 degrees F. Obviously in the Central Heat Source facility as proposed the temperature augmented fresh water is well below this temperature. One possible method of supplying high temperature heat for chemical storage Is through the use of solar collectors., The tem- F-1 2. AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 08731 peratures required are beyond the practical operating range of typical flat plate solar collectors but a simple non-tracking concentrator- type collector would be suitable. An example of such a product is the Solartron Vacuum Tube Collector, TC100, by General Electric Co. This collector has a concentration ratio of 1.1 and an operating efficiency of 50% under typical winter conditions in New Jersey. it has the capability of delivering the high temperature heat necessary to charge the chemical storage material. The number of solar collectors necessary to charge the chemical storage is a function of heat requirements and charging time. For example, the heat output of chamber A as described is 1550 BTU/1b. of dry Na2S/lb of water vapor, thus requiring 40,900 lb of material to store the design heat storage of 6.2 x 107 BTU's. The ability of solar collectors to produce this amount of heat is a function of location and season. For the purpose of this analysis it is assumed the collectors are mounted at 50 degrees up from the horizontal and face true solar south. On an average day in January, each square foot of collector can absorb and transfer to storage 900 BTU's. If the assumed time period for collection and charging of storage is one month, then the required amount of solar collector area is cal- culated as follows: F- 13. AZTEC ENERGV ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER. NEW JERSEY 08731 (900 BTU/day/sq. ft.) (30 day) (Area of Collectors) 6.2 x 107 BTU Area of Collectors = 2,300 square feet For the General Electric collector specified, the net operture area is 14.7 sq. ft./collector thereby requiring 156 collector units to accomplish the required charging of storage. The concept of chemical heat storage appears feasible when coupled to a high-temperature heat source for charging. Some problems associated with this form of storage are material handling and cor- rosion. As technology advances in this area, solutions will have to be divised to minimize these concerns. At present, only relatively small protypes of the chemical heat pump have been built and tested. F- 14. AZTEC ENERGY ASSOCIATES 1044 LACEY ROAD FORKED RIVER, NEW JERSEY 08731 BIBLIOGRAPHY 1.
