U.S. STEEL DUQUESNE WORKS<br />

HAER No. PA-115<br />

(Page 91)<br />

Installation Date of Filters and Associated Equipment: 1979.<br />

H. Evaporative Hotwellr Hotwell Pumps, and Hotwell Strainer:<br />

The hotwell for the evaporative water treatment recycle system is<br />

located approximately 50*-0" northeast of the polymer feed<br />

building. It is a large underground concrete basin that measures<br />

45'-0" wide x 62 , -6" long x 25'-0" high and is composed of five<br />

cells, a distribution cell and four pump cells which are<br />

separated by four Armco Model No. 35-05 sluice gates. Located<br />

above ground over each of the pump cells is a 5000 gpm Wilson-<br />

Snyder vertical turbine pump which is powered by a 2 00 hp U. S.<br />

Motor rated at 1170 rpm. A 24" Kinney Automatic Strainer is<br />

located at the discharge or northern end of the hotwell.<br />

Construction and Installation Dates: 1979.<br />

I. Evaporative Cooling Tower: The cooling tower for the<br />

evaporative water treatment recycle system is located<br />

approximately 30'-0" west of blow engine house number three.<br />

Manufactured by the Ceramic Cooling Tower Company, the cooling<br />

tower is a six cell, forced draft structure laid out linearly on<br />

a north-south axis. It has capacity rating of 15,000 gpm. The<br />

Tuf-Lite Company fans at the top of each cell are powered by a 75<br />

hp Reliance Duty Master Motor rated at 900/1800 rpm. The tower<br />

is designed for an inlet temperature of 115 degrees F. and an<br />

outlet temperature of 90 degrees F. Installation Date: 1979.<br />

J. Evaporative Coldweli and Coldwell Pumps: The coldwell for<br />

the evaporative water treatment recycle system is adjacent to the<br />

evaporative cooling tower on its eastern side and is laid out on<br />

a north-south axis. An underground concrete basin measuring 57'-<br />

6" wide x 67'-0" long x 24'-0" deep, it is divided into five<br />

cells which are separated by sluice gates identical to those in<br />

the hot well. Over each of the cells is located an above ground<br />

vertical turbine pump. The three most northern pumps are<br />

manufactured by Wilson-Snyder and rated at 5000 gpm. The other<br />

two pumps are also manufactured by Wilson-Snyder but are rated at<br />

6000 gpm. Each of the pumps is powered by a 300 hp U. S.<br />

Electrical direct drive motor operating at 1200 rpm.<br />

Construction and Installation Date: 1979.<br />

K. Make-Up Water and Blow-Down Water Monitoring Building With<br />

Associated Chemical Feed Equipment: Located just north of the<br />

coldwell pumps for the evaporative water treatment recycle system<br />

is a 14'-o" wide x 42'-0" long x 10'-0" high cinder block<br />

building set upon a concrete foundation. Metering equipment for<br />

the system's make-up and blow down water pipelines is located<br />

along the western wall of the building. A 2,000 gallon capacity<br />

carbon steel chemical dispersant tank is located in the southeast
