5-12 Water

Can any emissions or pollution from the contamination build up in the activated carbon filtration system pollute the local air or water? Please explain.

RESPONSE 5-12:

 

There will be no emissions associated with the operation of the carbon treatment system as it will be a closed system with no exhaust. The activated carbon treatment system will absorb the contamination onto the carbon. Once the carbon becomes exhausted, the activated carbon with the absorbed contaminants will be removed from the site. The spent or exhausted activated carbon will be sent by truck to a licensed facility for disposal or reactivation through a permitted and licensed process.  A typical manufacturer and/or provider of this service is Calgon Carbon Corporation.
