UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.) Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the more stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable. UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency (AFCESA) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group.

  • Dupont™ Ligasep™ CO2 Removal by Dealkalization with Weak Acid
    Tech Fact Removal of CO2 in Dealkalization with Weak Acid Cation Resin Application Carbon dioxide (CO2) in water is present as an equilibrium mixture of the dissolved − 2− Description gas CO2, the weak acid H2CO3, and the HCO3 and CO3 anions associated with bicarbonate and carbonate alkalinity. The exact equilibrium ratio of these four species depends on the pH and temperature of the water. In a dealkalization system using a weak acid cation (WAC) resin in the H-form, the system removes alkalinity and partially softens the water. The WAC resin exchanges hydrogen ions for hardness ions associated with alkalinity. The resulting low pH converts bicarbonate and carbonate alkalinity to dissolved CO2 gas, which is then removed by degasification. Reliably and effectively removing as much CO2 as possible by degasification reduces the amount of alkalinity that could form posttreatment due to equilibrium conversion of CO2 and protects sensitive downstream processes and equipment from potential CO2-related corrosion. Solution DuPont™ Ligasep™ Degasification Modules use a proprietary polymethylpentene (PMP) hollow fiber membrane that provides an efficient transfer of gases between a liquid and a gas. The membrane does not allow water to pass through the membrane but freely allows gas to pass through. Equilibrium between the liquid and gas phase is offset when a vacuum and a strip gas is applied to one side of the membrane. This creates a driving force to move dissolved gases from the water to the gas side of the membrane. Ligasep™ Degasification Modules offer a clean, efficient and stable process to decarbonate water to concentrations of 5 mg/L or less of CO2 (8.35 mg/L as CaCO3) to reduce the load on downstream ion exchange equipment.

Kim Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Carlo G. Pantano Distinguished Professor of Materials Science and Engineering Dissertation Coadvisor Manish Kumar Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Kristen Fichthorn Merrell Fenske Professor of Chemical Engineering Professor of Physics Head of the Department Graduate Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Soda lime silica (SLS) glass is the most widely used glass materials in terms of mass in windows, bottles & containers, etc. One of the biggest challenge for SLS glass is its brittleness or propensity to be damaged at ambient conditions. One important reason is that cracks propagation on the SLS glass surface can be significantly accelerated by tensile stress induced corrosion reactions of amorphous silicate network, which breaks the Si-O-Si bonds to form two silanol groups, known as stress corrosion effect. It has also been found that stress corrosion reactions are faster with the increase of relative humidity (RH). The propagation of cracks will eventually lead to the failure of SLS glass. However, very little is known on the reactions between glass and water in the environment induced by interfacial shear, which results in the removal of SLS glass.

Here are basic data on ways of conditioning water with DOWEX™ ion exchange resins and straightforward explanations of how you can determine costs and results using the various methods on your own water. Better Water = Better Operation Because water is one of the most important raw materials brought into any plant, it follows that better water will cut overall costs and improve plant operating efficiency. These improvements can range from elimination of scale and corrosion in water- and steam-carrying equipment through reduced maintenance and outage time to better finished products. Ion Exchange Versatility DOWEX cation and anion exchange resins, used separately or in combination, with or without other water-treating materials, do an amazing variety of water-conditioning jobs; from simple softening of hard water supplies to removal of dissolved solids down to a part per billion!

  • Dealkalizers
    CAT800.1 Water King RF, MF and HF Series Dealkalizers This brochure lists all of the Water King dealkalizers. The RF series uses fiberglass tanks and the Task Master II™ – 1 ½ inch five-cycle valve in a top-mount configuration. The MF series uses galvanized steel tanks and the Task Master II™ – 1 ½ inch five-cycle valve in a side-mount configuration. The HF series uses either galvanized or lined and primed steel tanks with a side mount Task Master™ – 2 or 2 ½ inch five-cycle valve. ADVANTAGES OF DEALKALIZERS • Reduce blowdown and save energy, water and chemicals • Boost Boiler Performance. The amount of boiler blowdown is most often attributed to alkalinity. Concentrations of alkalinity beyond recommended operating limits cause problems of foaming and solids carryover to the steam. A dealkalizer will increase the number of times the make-up is concentrated in the boiler, reducing blowdown and boiler operating costs, foaming and carryover. • Reduce Condensate Line Corrosion. Reducing the amount of carbonic acid which forms from carbon dioxide reacting with condensed steam reduces the amount of expensive chemicals necessary to neutralize the acid and reduces return line corrosion. CAT800.2 • Reduce Chemical Treatment. The reduction of blowdown by dealkalization keeps water treatment chemicals in the boiler longer, and thus minimizes the amount of chemicals required for efficient, non-corrosive operation. • Lower Fuel and Operating Costs. Blowdown losses to the sewer are expensive because the lost water has been heated, softened, pumped, and chemically treated. APPLICATIONS • Boilers operating below 300 psi are the best application. Boilers at higher pressures generally require special water treatment, such as deionization or reverse osmosis, to reduce dissolved solids.
