Mass -Volume Calculation of Dissolved MTBE - 27 March 2002 to 16 April 2002 <br />10 FLAG CITY CHEVRON - 6421 Capitol Avenue, Lodi, CA <br />Assumptions <br />• A total volume of 370,027 gallons was extracted from wells EW -4, EW -5, EW -9 and EW -10 <br />between 27 March 2002 and 16 April 2002 (based on effluent flow meter observations) <br />• Data collected from the pump and treat influent grab ground water samples were <br />representative of general extracted ground water conditions <br />One cubic foot of water contains 7 48 gallons, conversely, one gallon of water is equivalent to <br />0 1337 cubic feet, so the volume of processed water is given by <br />V= (370,027 gallons)(0 1337 fl /gal) = 49,473 ft' processed water <br />One gallon of water weighs 8 337 lbs /gal at 60'F, so the mass of processed water is given by <br />MWa, = (370,027 gallons)(8 337 lbs /gal) = 3,084,915 lbs. processed water <br />Multiplying the mass of the processed water by the average MTBE concentration (03-27-02=124g/L <br />and 04-16-02 = 33 ,ug/L, avg = 22 5 ,ug/L) yields the approximate mass of MTBE removed from <br />processed water <br />MMTsE = (3,084,915 lbs)(0 0000000225) = 0.07 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 />MMTHE = 0 07 lbs MTBE (0 4536 kg/lb) = 32 g of MTBE <br />Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc. <br />
