PART E. WASTES FROM CLEANING METAL PROCESS EQUIPMEN T

Use the Comments page at the end of Part E to do the following: provide additional

information as requested in certain questions within Par t E; indicate atypical data (e.g., if

2009 information is not representative of normal oper ations); and note methods used to

make best engineering estimates in the event that exact data are not available. INSTRUCTIONS

Complete Part E of the questionnaire for your plant. As you are completing the

electronic form, note the following: When you enter y our plant name and plant ID on the

Part E TOC tab, all name and ID fields throughout Pa rt E will automatically populate.

Refer to the overall questionnaire instructions, the gl ossary, and the acronym list for

assistance with completing Part E.

Please provide all free response answers in the highligh ted yellow areas. Throughout

Part E, you may need to make copies of certain sections/qu estions. Instructions are

provided throughout Part E regarding making copies. No te that steam electric

generating unit or metal cleaning operation names must be populated on the copied tab

or section, located in the upper right corner under "Pl ant ID" and "Plant Name", in order

to correlate the requested information with the steam electric generating unit or metal

cleaning operation.

This part collects information on operations that produce metal cleaningwastes at the plant. Metal cleaning wastes includeanyprocess wastewatersresulting from cleaning [with or withoutchemical cleaning compounds] any metal process equipment, including, but not limited to, boiler tube cleaning, boiler firesidecleaning, and air heater cleaning. This part also collects information on combined cycle combustion turbine and aircompressor cleaning, and soot blowing.Has the plant generated any wastes from cleaning metal process equipment associated with fossil- or nuclear-fueled steamelectric generating units since January 1, 2000?YesYesNoE-1Version: February 22, 2010Steam Electric QuestionnairePart E.

Make a copy of Section3 using the "Copy Section 3" button below. Enter the steam electric generating unit ID under the sectionheading above (use steam electric generating unit IDs assigned in Table A-8). In addition, enter the metalcleaning operation ID performed on the steam electric generating unit (use the IDs from Tables E-1 andE-2).Please provide all free response answers in the highlighted yellow areas.In the space below, provide a description of the process equipment cleaning operation. Include the type ofequipment and metal cleaned, any chemical preparation steps (e.g., diluting the chemical prior to use), and ashort description of the cleaning operation. An example is provided below.Example:The plant uses citric acid to remove copper deposits and iron oxides from the steel tube surfaces ofthe boiler. The citric acid is diluted to a pH of 3.5 and then used for cleaning in a two-stage process. In the firststage, the citric acid dissolves iron oxides. In the second stage anhydrous ammonia is added to raisethe pH ofthe cleaning solution between 9 and 10 and air is bubbled through the solution to dissolve copper deposits.3.
