Scope and Budget Relative to Demonstration Round 3 Organic Monomer Tailoring of Granular Activated Carbon to Remove Perchlorate at Redlands, CA Dear Mr Douglas Headrick, Mr Dave N Commons, and Mr Greg Gage In follow-up of recent discussions, may we offer the following Scope and Budget for the above -listed Round 3 project As you well know, we have been conducting demonstration -scale tests for removing perchlorate from your Texas Street groundwater during the past eight months, and the results thus far indicate that perchlorate can be effectively removed while not creating adverse complications Specifically, we have seen no nitrosodimethyl amine (NDMA) formation, and no nitrate rollover through the tailored GAC It also appears from Round 1 and 2 testing that there is no monomer leaching after the first 500-1000 bed volumes of operation The interested parties concur that we could usefully progress to Round 3 testing of this monomer -tailoring protocol at Texas Street The Objectives of this testing will be I Demonstrate near -full-scale performance of tailored activated carbon 2 Gather data that can be used to identify full-scale costs of operating this tailored activated carbon process 3 After acquinng certification from NSF and permitting from California DHS, prepare to purvey potable water through the Texas Street plant to City of Redlands customers In this next round of testing, we will aim to operate three activated carbon beds in series that are configured just as they would be when the entire Texas Street plant processes 6-10 MGD The 6 MGD is the full flow of Texas Street water that does not contain high nitrate levels, and there may be ways to increase the groundwater supply availability to up to 10 MGD For this test, we will employ two tailored GAC beds in senes, chased by a non -tailored polishing bed The first two beds will each contain roughly 2000 pounds of Ultracarb GAC that are tailored with a quaternary amine monomer The subsequent polishing bed will contain 2000 pounds nominal of bituminous GAC Ultimate full-scale operation will involve the 24 existing GAC beds, and 20 of these will be configured in four groups of five Within a given group, two tailored GAC beds will flow north toward a polishing GAC bed, and two other tailored GAC beds will flow south toward the same polishing GAC bed In the remaining group of 4 beds, two tailored beds will flow to a polishing bed from one direction, and one tailored GAC bed will flow to this same polishing bed from the other direction This means that the tailored GAC beds will each host a 12 -minute empty bed contact time (EBCT), as measured through that An Equal Opportunity Umvers:ty bed, and the polishing GAC beds will each host a 6 -minute EBCT For the tests herein, we will operate at flow rates that achieve a 3 to 7 minute EBCT (the shorter EBCT will subsequently facilitate more water flow through the existing full-scale Texas Street plant) The shorter EBCT's could employ slightly smaller gram sizes To be consistent with this full-scale condition, then, this Round 3 test will operate at 70-170 gpm, and this will translate to 3-7 minute EBCT through each of the three 2000 pound tailored GAC beds We will also continue the Round 2 test during this time and also possibly Round 1 for a while until perchlorate breakthrough extends upwards If we process water through these Round 3 beds for 80,000 BV (as measured through the first tailored bed), this trial could continue for 6-12 months The bench -scale RSSCT's (Figure 1) have shown that we can reach 30,000-35,000 bed volumes before detectable perchlorate breakthrough occurs We expect further that full breakthrough may occur at twice the bed volumes as initial breakthrough We anticipate that by having three beds in series, we can receive a permit from California DHS to process water through the first bed nearly until full breakthrough occurs in it, since this will occur before any perchlorate breaks through the second Moreover, in accordance with typical CaDHS requirements, the third polishing bed will serve as belts and suspenders to the first two beds On the basis of the RSSCT results thus far (Figure 1), we could process about 40,000-50,000 BV (as measured through the first bed) before we take this first bed out of series Then the second becomes the first, and a new tailored bed follows that one At change -out, a portion of the second bed has already become loaded with the perchlorate that passed through the first bed This second bed can thus operate for yet another 40,000-50,000 BV (as measured through one bed) before it becomes fully exhausted, and is then taken out of operation and its media replaced Thus, at steady state, a given bed of tailored GAC will last about 80,000-90,000 BV (as measured through one bed) before it is replaced, and this corresponds to 22-25 months of full-scale operation when the Texas Street plant processes 6 MGD of water At change -out, there would be 1220-1380 acre feet of water that passed through that full-scale bed and its two companion beds in series On the basis of the data that we have gathered thus far from our Round 1 and 2 demonstrations, we have been preparing a certification application to the National Sanitation Foundation We will supplement this application with additional data from the Round 1 and Round 2 tests as the data unfolds We also will soon submit a comprehensive data set to the California Department of Health Service This Round 3 test will be a collaborative activity, between the City of Redlands, Penn State, and Westates-US Filter Conceptually, the Penn State team will spearhead the analysis of perchlorate, TOC, pH, radioactivity, NDMA (via subcontract), organic monomer (both in-house and via subcontract), and several other parameters The Penn State team will also prepare technical data for submittal to the California DHS Westates-US Filter will install the GAC media and conduct the monomer tailoring Westates-US Filter staff will also be available from time to time to coordinate with on-site operations and prepare data for National Sanitation Foundation submittals The City of Redlands will operate the GAC beds, gather water samples, and monitor for nitrate, nitrite, TCE, and DBCP The analytical protocol is further identified in the table below The scope of budget herein pertains to the Penn State activity (and their subcontractors) The work by others is budgeted separately The team will operate the full-scale test at the City's Texas Street Water Treatment Plant At this plant, the groundwater contains 50-70 ppb perchlorate and 3-4 mg/L nitrate as N The effluent from the test beds will initially discharge to Redlands' sanitary sewer, and then we anticipate that the water will be purveyed to Redlands customers when a CaDHS permit is acquired The GAC beds that have been preloaded with organic monomer will cease water treatment operation when the first bed has reached perchlorate -removal exhaustion and/or when the second tailored bed exhibits initial perchlorate breakthrough 2 The Penn State team will test the water samples for such parameters as pH, perchlorate, and organic monomer (via colorimetric titration), with frequency as shown in Table 1 The Penn State team will particularly monitor for the organic monomer during the first 300 bed volumes of start-up, when the greatest possibility of leaching could occur For routine monthly screening of the organic monomer or polymer m the effluent, we will employ a colorimetric method that has been developed by Tsubouchi, Mitsushio, and Yamasaki (1981), which uses a two-phase titration Our tests to date show that this method will monitor the quaternary amine -based organic monomer down to a minimum detection limit of 01-02mg/L Subcontractors to Penn State will employ gas chromatography -mass spectrophotometry several times over the course of the test, so as to monitor the influent and effluents for mtrosodimethy{amine (NDMA), and the organic monomer tailoring agent Some of the effluent samples that are monitored for NDMA will be post -chlorinated to yield a residual of about 0 5 mg/L The Penn State team will also monitor the influent and effluent water several times for radiation that may originate from uranium or other radioactive species Along with these full-scale trials, the Penn State team will also conduct bench -scale RSSCT experiments, in which we will (a) test whether we can find a yet better way to tailor the activated carbon, (b) improve performance and reliability of the monomer -tailored GAC that we are now using, and (c) explore means of thermally reactivating the GAC beds Also, members of the Penn State team will be available to visit Redlands for a day or two on several occasions We will also avail ourselves to corresponding with the California Department of Health Services (CaDHS) and National Sanitation Foundation personnel so as to provide these entities with the technical information that they would need to appraise whether this monomer preloading protocol could become approved for removing these anions from water at Redlands Specifically, the Penn State team is available to meet with representatives of these two entities prior to starting the full-scale test and also during the test so as to establish a testing protocol that will provide them with the information that they would need to appraise this protocol On previous occasions, the CaDHS personnel have indicated that they do not recognize any "show -stoppers" in this monomer tailoring protocol that would inherently preclude this protocol from becoming approved The budget from the City of Redlands to Penn State for the Penn State activity will be 550,000, as identified in the attached budget page In support of the above, Westates US Filter has offered to provide and prepare, under separate budget, the three activated carbon beds for these trials During the water treatment operations time, the City of Redlands will operate the GAC beds, monitor water flow rates, and take samples from four locations at approximately weekly intervals The City of Redlands will mail these samples to Penn State via proper means The City of Redlands will also send out round-robin samples to a certified lab for analyses that the CaDHS or NSF may require Also, the City of Redlands will conduct analyses in-house of nitrate, nitrite, TCE, and DBCP The funds for City of Redlands activity and for round robin analyses by a certified lab will originate from a source other than the budget herein 3 Table 1.
