Impact/Purpose:
to inform the public
Description:
This report documents the activities performed and the results obtained from the first six months of the EPA arsenic removal technology demonstration project at the Arizona Water Company (AWC) facility in Sedona, AZ, commonly referred to as Valley Vista. The main objective of the project is to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinetico’s FA-236-AS treatment system using AAFS50 media in removing arsenic to meet the new arsenic maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 µg/L. Additionally, this project evaluates the reliability of the treatment system for use at small water facilities, the simplicity of system operation and maintenance (O&M) and required operator’s skill levels, and the cost-effectiveness of the technology. The project also characterizes water in the distribution system and residuals generated by the treatment process. The types of data collected include system operation, water quality (both across the treatment train and in the distribution system), process residuals, and capital and O&M costs.
