Description:

This report documents the activities performed and the results obtained for the arsenic removal treatment technology demonstration project at Golden Hills Community Services District (GHCSD) located in Tehachapi, CA. The objectives of the project were to evaluate (1) the effectiveness of Magnesium Elektron, Inc.’s (MEI) Isolux™ treatment system in removing arsenic to meet the new maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 µg/L; (2) the reliability of the treatment system; (3) the required system operation and maintenance (O&M) and operator skill levels; and (4) the capital and O&M cost of the technology. The project also characterized water in the distribution system and residuals generated by the treatment process. The types of data collected included system operation, water quality (both across the treatment train and in the distribution system), process residuals, and capital and O&M cost.
