| Description/Abstract | Mercury control in the effluent from the LTV treatment plant is achieved through both control of suspended solids and operational controls. Chemical treatment with anti-foam agents, polymers, clarifier modifications and new operating parameters resulted in control of suspended solids leaving the clarifier. Full compliance at the discharge limit was obtained with a high degree of consistency, as well as avoiding costly expenditures by utilizing the existing equipment. However, efforts continue to reduce the mercury loading before the biological water treatment plant by performing feasibility studies on several processes that filter out total complexed mercury. On-going research will continue with mercury removal methods before the biological plant to comply with the effluent limitations, 100% of the time. The investigation into further mercury reduction will be accomplished by the end of 1996. Technologies are being tested at the crystallizer operations to reduce the concentrations of the mercury before reaching the wastewater treatment plant. The feasibility of each technology will be decided by the efficiency of the operations compared to process costs. Continued operation of the plant will result in additional information and knowledge concerning the removal of mercury. |
