Studies in the Identification of Hydrocarbon Products in Wastewater,

Abstract

At Army installations, operations essential to the maintenance, servicing, and cleaning of wheel- and track-type vehicles produce large volumes of wastewater which may contain variable concentrations of hydrocarbon products used in the servicing and cleaning operations. Federal regulations require the monitoring of hydrocarbon concentrations in effluents discharged into waterways; and regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency are vested with authority to assess liabilities for restoration costs in cases of environmental pollution by outfalls exceeding established concentration limits.
