Description:
The report describes Control Assay Development (CAD), a data acquisition program designed to evaluate the potential applicability of various treatment processes for the control of solid, liquid, and gaseous emissions from coal conversion plants. The CAD program described could be used to provide data for evaluating selected treatment technologies for coal conversion wastewaters. Detailed descriptions of all CAD screening procedures and equipment required for outfitting a mobile laboratory are presented. Laboratory tests were conducted to assess the adequacy of the proposed designs and operating procedures, and to verify the use of a dry bacterial culture for biological oxidation studies. A number of design modifications were recommended, based on the laboratory tests. Insufficient benefit is derived from the use of a dry bacterial culture during the bio-oxidation screening procedure to warrant its adoption in the testing procedure.
