Influent concentration range

A full-scale packed tower aeration column plant using groundwater at an air-to-water ratio of 25 1 achieved 97-99% reductions from initial TCE influent concentrations ranging from 1500 to 2000 pg/L. 

Reverse Osmosis. In reverse osmosis (qv), a solution or suspension flows under pressure through a membrane the product is withdrawn on the other side. This process can treat dissolved soHds concentrations ranging from 1 mg/L to 35 g/L (14). The principal constraint is the requirement that the waste material be relatively nonfouling. Recent advances have been mosdy in membrane development, and pilot studies are required (15). Energy costs can be significant, and it is frequently necessary to pretreat influent in order to minimize fouhng. Reverse osmosis can deal with particles < 1 to 600 nm in size. 

In Section 7, columns C and E you must Indicate the range of influent concentration and treatment efficiency, respectively, lor each treatment system listed. The facility must estimate the efficiency and influent concentration of each air omission treatment system, as the stack test program did not determine influent concentrations. The facility has manufacturers data on the efficiency of each treatment system and should use this information along with effluent concentration data to estimate the influent concentrations. The efficiency estimates for air treatment systems are not based on operating data this must be indicated in column F of Section 7. 

Figure 4 shows the concentration range determined for each investigated drug and metabolite in the surface and wastewaters collected in the Ebro River basin, and its comparison with the drug levels found in similar studies carried out in other locations of Spain [6, 7,12,13,19, 31-33] and in various countries of the American [5, 10, 15, 22, 23] and the European continents [8, 9, 11, 14, 16-18, 21, 24-30]. Drug residue levels found in influent and effluent wastewaters from the Ebro River basin were mostly between the minimum and maximum concentrations described for these compounds in the peer-reviewed literature. Only, few compounds, e.g.,...

In this experiment, tap water with added phosphate was used as influent. Concentration of phosphate was adjusted to an adequate range from 2 to 23 mg/jg. Calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide solution were added to maintain calcium concentration from 70 to 100 mg/jg and pH of the effluent from 9.0 to 9.5. Using this equipment, we performed experiments to obtain efficiency of phosphate removal, relationship between phosphate concentration, and crystallization rate and factors affecting phoshate removal. 

The temperature can affect the performance of the ZenoGem system. Suspended solids can reduce the ZenoGem treatment efficiency. Elevated oil and grease concentrations may also limit the ZenoGem system s performance. The process is most efficient when the influent pH ranges... 

Adsorbents were packed in a glass colunm of 0.10m length and 0.0156m i.d. Experimental conditions were as follows linear flow rate 0.2 m/s, influent concentration in the range of 0.004 0.2 mol/m3, and temperature 298 K. 

Compared to the results obtained using resins and zeolites, the uptake of MTBE by GAC shows similar values, corresponding to a wide range of influent concentrations (from 50 pgL to 434mgL ). The maximum adsorption capacities vary from below 1 mgg to 122 mgg (Table 9) and in cases where this is not known, the loading of GAC with MTBE (q )is given for equihbrium concentrations of 100 and 1000 pgL (Table 10) [61]. 

Equilibrium isotherms are generally done by the bottle-point method in which each bottle represents an equilibrium data point. Predetermined amounts of ground-up (60 x 100 mesh) adsorbent are added to bottles of raw water such that the final equilibrium arsenic concentration is within a specified range, which is generally between the influent concentration and one-half of the desired effluent concentration of arsenic. The bottles are capped, and then shaken or tumbled for 24-48 hr to achieve adsorption equilibrium. The final arsenic concentration in a filtered sample is determined and the loading on the adsorbent is calculated as the difference between the initial and final arsenic concentration divided by the mass of adsorbent. All points are replicated. Finally, a graph of arsenic loading qe, mg As/g adsorbent, is plotted vs. Ce, the mg As/L water. Isotherms are a rapid way to screen adsorbents on the basis of arsenic capacity under a variety of water-quality conditions. 

The equilibrium capacity of Duolite ES-340 for hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid was determined over a concentration range of 2.5 x 10 to 1.0 x 10" normal. Ten milliliters (measured by tapping to a constant volume in a graduate) of free-base-form resin was transferred to a 15 ml fritted glass funnel. A solution of acid of known concentration was allowed to drip through the column until the effluent concentration was equal to the influent concentration. The resin was dewatered by suction filtration, then eluted with an excess of sodium hydroxide. The amount of acid picked up by the resin was determined by the analysis of the eluate for chloride or sulfate. The results are shown in Figure 2.

In the case of HER, MDEA, nor-BE, and nor-CO, which were only occasionally detected, concentrations range from the lowest limit of quantification of the method to the only positive value reported.
