Abstract |
An 18 month study using cost effective municipal wastewater treatment technology coupled with a computerized data handling system, was conducted at the EPA/Washington, D.C. Blue Plains Pilot Plant to obtain data on the safety of the effluent for discharge upstream of drinking water intakes, and for potential domestic reuse purposes. Treatment reliability was demonstrated and performance results showed the absence of virus in the effluent. Effluent concentrations of radioactivity, trihalomethanes and other volatile organics, heavy metals, pesticides, TOC, turbidity, general inorganic compounds, and pathogenic indicator organisms were shown to be similar to those found in finished drinking waters during the EPA National Organics Reconnaissance Survey in 1975. The specific organic compounds identified in the effluent are also present in finished drinking waters. |
