Biological treatment has certain inherent advantages. One <br /> advantage is that the organic contaminants are destroyed, rather than transferred <br /> from water to air. Likewise, treatment by adsorption onto granular activated <br /> carbon (GAC) has certain other advantages, including a removal mechanism <br /> which assures a high quality effluent under conditions of varying influent quality. <br /> Combining these two treatment methods realizes the inherent benefits of each in <br /> a process that is economical and produces no air emissions or hazardous waste. <br /> 1.2 PuW <br /> The primary objectives of this manual are to: <br /> 1) describe the GAC Fluid Bed process and equipment, and <br /> r 2) defure operating, troubleshooting and safety-related procedures. <br /> 1.3 &= <br /> The scope of this manual is limited to operation of the equipment supplied by <br /> Envirex, except where it is appropriate to provide information on operating the <br /> GAC Fluid Bed in the context of a larger system, including the groundwater <br /> supply system. <br /> A written operator training program is not within the scope of this manual. <br /> l <br /> Page 1-1 <br />
