MAG*SEP{sup SM} process technology demonstration at SRS
- Selentec, Atlanta, GA (United States)
- Argonne National Lab., IL (United States)
Selective Environmental Technologies, Inc. (Selentec) has been involved in laboratory and pilot scale demonstration testing of its patented MAG*SEP{sup SM} technology. This technology is being considered for eventual application at sites involving groundwater contaminated with heavy metals and/or radionuclides. A prototype scale demonstration test of the MAG*SEP{sup SM} technology has shown that the process is capable of removal of heavy metal contaminants in the presence of significant concentrations of competing ions. For example, nickel ion concentrations were reduced from approximately 1000 ppb to less than 100 ppb in the presence of significant concentrations of competing ions, specifically aluminum (50 ppm), magnesium (40 ppm), and calcium (60 ppm). This work has been carried out with a project team consisting of Selentec, B&W Nuclear Technologies (magnetic filter supplier), RUST Environment and Infrastructure (design support), Argonne National Laboratory (contract management), and Westinghouse Savannah River Company (site support). Laboratory testing and analytical support were provided by the Savannah River Technology Center (SRTC) and the pilot scale demonstration was carried out at the Savannah River Site D Area Coal Pile Runoff Basin.
