The Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD) in Colorado is one of two sites
that features U.S. stockpile of chemical weapons that need to be
destroyed. The PCD features about 2,600 tons of mustard-including
agent. The PCD also features a pilot plant, the Pueblo Chemical
Agent Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP), which has been set up to
destroy the agent and munition bodies using novel processes. The
chemical neutralization or hydrolysis of the mustard agent produces
a Schedule 2 compound called thiodiglycol (TDG) that must be
destroyed. The PCAPP uses a combined water recovery system (WRS)
and brine reduction system (BRS) to destroy TDG and make the water
used in the chemical neutralization well water again. Since the
PCAPP is using a novel process, the program executive officer for
the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) program asked
the National Research Council (NRC) to initiate a study to review
the PCAPP WRS-BRS that was already installed at PCAPP. 5 months
into the study in October, 2012, the NRC was asked to also review
the Biotreatment area (BTA). The Committee on Review of
Biotreatment, Water Recovery, and Brine Reduction Systems for the
Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant was thus tasked with
evaluating the operability, life-expectancy, working quality,
results of Biotreatment studies carried out prior to 1999 and
1999-2004, and the current design, systemization approached, and
planned operation conditions for the Biotreatment process. Review
of Biotreatment, Water Recovery, and Brine Reduction Systems for
the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant is the result of
the committee's investigation. The report includes diagrams of the
Biotreatment area, the BRS, and WRS; a table of materials of
construction, the various recommendations made by the committee;
and more. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Background 2 The
