Carbon Treatment of Otto Fuel Wastewater - A Laboratory Study

Abstract

Activated carbon has been found to be effective in removing Otto Fuel from water. Preliminary pilot runs using Filtrasorb 400 show a carbon cost of 1.8 cents/gallon of wastewater treated as compared to 43 cents/gallon for disposal by incineration. A carbon adsorption stage will be utilized in the design of an Otto Fuel Wastewater Treatment Plant. A prototype wastewater system will be the topic of a future report.
