| Abstract: | This study addresses two concerns of the trichloroethylene (TCE) treatment system and the noncontact cooling water (NCCW) systems at the Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Environmental Laboratory (CRREL) in Hanford, New Hampshire: 1. Violation of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit for pH limits, and 2. Inadequate performance of the greensand filters (GSF). The causes for the high pH levels in the noncontact cooling water discharge to the river are discussed in this study. The existing carbon dioxide system used for pH control is evaluated. Alternatives for pH control are presented. The existing GSF remove iron from well water prior to air stripping. This reduces the fouling potential in the air strippers and downstream NCCW systems. CRREL has experienced operational problems with the filters. This study addresses how the performance of the GSF canbe improved. Alternative iron removal methods are also presented. |
