A relatively large volume (12,450 gal) of water significant to oil-shale processing by in situ combustion was required to perform environmental studies at the U.S. ERDA Laramie Energy Research Center. This effluent is a relatively scarce commodity for research purposes. This study is concerned with the identification of problems and the solutions to problems associated with the aquisition, processing, and storage of a large stock reserve of environmental research water. Special attention is given to the practical aspects of field collection procedures, processing by filtration to remove suspended materials, and mitigation of chemical instability induced by microbial degradation of dissolved components.
