Description:
The formed-in-place membrane filtration system offered by SBP Technologies, Inc. of Stone Mountain, GA was evaluated by the USEPA SITE Program. he evaluation lasted 6 days; ca. 1000 gallons per day of creosote-contaminated water were treated. he SITE Program Demonstration was accomplished at the American Creosote Works site in Pensacola, FL in October 1991. verage six-day concentrations in the influent stream were 89.3 mg/L total SVOCs, with phenanthrene and naphthalene as the major constituents. hey system effectively performed an 82% volume reduction, and removed greater than 95% of higher molecular weight PAHs and 92% of total PAHs from the permeate stream. he permeate stream SVOC concentration averaged 22.8 mg/L over the six-day period. This stream was determined to be acceptable for discharge to the local POTW. he membrane system tested was not very effective at removing lower molecular weight compounds (ca. 18%) such as phenolics. f the total SVOCs present, ca. 75% removals were achieved. or each 2000 gallons treated, ca. 200 gallons of wash water were utilized; ca. 8% of contaminants were distributed to the washwater. stimates of capital and operating costs are between $202 and $675 per 1000 gallons treated (not including costs of final disposal). onditions such as operating temperature, molecular weight, hydrophobicity, initial concentration, and final effluent standards may affect system performance at other sites.
