PI" SUN-AG Environmental Division Pure Effect r SunSolve A media filtration product for removal of MtBE from water SunSolve is a water treatment media product developed specifically to absorb Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MtBE) It is a mixture of high activity activated carbon and a specially prepared absorption media, which when combined create a +synergistic affinity for MtBE, and remove MtBE from water to very low levels The media is placed in a liquid phase adsorption vessel (or vessels) of the same design parameters as activated carbon Since the EBCT (or retention time) 1s equivalent to activated carbon, vessel sizes are equal in size In general, between 10 - 30 minutes EBCT (or retention time) is used for sizing of vessel(s) for use with SunSolve, depending on the initial concentration of MtBE in the treatment stream, and the desired effluent concentration Theoretical SunSolve usage in relation to activated carbon exhaustion using the MtBE adsorptive capacity of carbon of 3 2 mg/g yield in theory would be 270 lbs carbon per 100,000 gallons treated The same concentration of MtBE using SunSolve adsorptive capacity for MtBE the same number of gallons of water (100,000) will only require 26 1 Ibs of SunSolve Please see following, a ,adsorption isotherm for SunSolve, and a virgin activated liquid phase carbon SunSolve will absorb BTEX compounds, therefore it is recommended that if there are other dissolved organics present in the water stream, a liquid phase activated carbon treatment system be used in front of the SunSolve bed(s), to adsorb the BTEX (or other dissolved organic contaminants), and the SunSolve will be able to absorb MtBE more effectively Following is a typical system design as described above Please contact Michael E Slaby at SUN-AG, Inc for application information relating to SunSolve at 888-230-7873 x 202 3325 E Miraloma Avenue, Suite 121 • Anaherm • Cali6mia 92806 71d/572.6177 • 714/572-1713 Fax • E-Mail PUREEFFECT@AOL COM
