Mass-Volume Calculation of Dissolved MTBE - 15 September 2003 to 06 November 2003 <br /> FLAG CITY CHEVRON- 6421 Capitol Avenue, Lodi, CA <br /> Assumptions <br /> • A total volume of 520,191 gallons was extracted from wells EW-4,EW-5,EW-7 and EW-8 <br /> between 15 September 2003 and 06 November 2003 (based on effluent flow meter <br /> observations) <br /> • Ground water pump-and-treat operations were temporarily suspended between 27 October <br /> and 06 November 2003 <br /> • Data collected from the pump and treat influent grab ground water samples were <br /> representative of general extracted ground water conditions <br /> One gallon of water weighs 8 337 lbs/gal at 607, so the mass of processed water is given by <br /> Mwa,.r= (520,191 gallons)(8 337 lbs /gal)=4,336,832 lbs. processed water <br /> Multiplying the mass ofthe processed water by the average MTBE concentration(09-15-03=18µg/L <br /> and 11-06-03 = 31 gg/L, avg = 24 5 pg/L) yields the approximate mass of MTBE removed from <br /> processed water <br /> MMTBE = (4,336,832 lbs)(0 0000000245) = 0.1.1 lbs MTBE <br /> A converstion factor of 0 4536 kg/lb can be used to convert pounds of MTBE to kilograms of <br /> MTBE <br /> MMTBE = 0 11 lbs MTBE (0 4536 kg/1b) =50 g of MTBE <br /> Advanced CeoEnvironmental,Inc <br />
