Abstract

AbstractWastewater treatment technologies were evaluated for a Superfund Site located in the southern United States to pretreat approximately 3 million gallons of on‐site contaminated water to meet POTW pretreatment requirements. A low cost water treatment scheme was developed, designed, installed, and the contaminated water was successfully treated in a 16 week period. The Site included two earthen ponds containing hazardous sediments to be dredged and remediated, and water, contaminated with organics, oil and grease (O&G), and heavy metals. A four week, on‐site investigation was conducted to characterize and quantify pond contents and develop a cost‐effective, rapid method of treating the contaminated pond water. Rapid installation and start‐up of the selected treatment technology was required to meet the pond closure schedule.
