Ball Powder Production Wastewater Biodegradation Support Studies - With Nitroglycerine
Abstract
The U.S. Army Toxic and Hazardous Materials Agency (USATHAMA) sponsored a pilot program at Badger Army Ammunition Plant (AAP) to evaluate two aerobic biological oxidation wastewater treatment technologies, extended aeration and sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Near the conclusion of the initial Arthur D. Little pilot study, Badger AAP personnel expressed a concern that the nitroglycerin (NG) concentration (8 mg/L) reported in the Point Source Survey might be as much as 20 times too low. After discussions with USATHAMA personnel about the possibility of having approximately 200 mg/L NG in the wastewater stream, it was decided to extend the pilot test program to include two additional NG runs.
