Nitrate Pilot Testing |
 |
The City of Ripon (City), in conjunction with Damon
S. Williams Associates (DSWA), has conducted a pilot-scale investigation
of an integrated nitrate and arsenic treatment system. This City
of Ripon Integrated Nitrate and Arsenic Treatment Demonstration has
been approved for California Proposition 50 funding under Chapter
6b.
|
The integrated pilot system implements
chemical reduction of nitrate with SMI-III® followed by coagulation/filtration for
arsenic removal. SMI-III® is a patented, iron-based granular
media that has been commercially developed for the removal of nitrate,
metals, and other compounds from water. It is foreseen that the greatest
benefit of this technology is that it does not produce a costly brine
stream as do the currently accepted nitrate removal technologies
of ion exchange and reverse osmosis.
|
Project Update (4/2/10) |
Pilot testing has been completed and testing
results are attached.
