Mass-Volume Calculation of Dissolved MTBE: 18 October to 11 November 2002 <br /> RAINWATER CAR WASH - 420 West Yosemite Avenue, Manteca CA <br /> Assumptions <br /> ' e A total volume of 102,960 gallons was extracted from well EW-1 between 18 October <br /> and 11 November 2002 (based on average influent flow meter observations) <br /> • Data collected from the pump and treat influent were representative of general <br /> extracted ground water conditions <br /> One gallon of water is equivalent to 3 79 liters, so the volume of processed water is given by <br /> ' V= (102,960 gallons)(3 79 1/gal) = 390,218 l processed water <br /> ' Multiplying the volume of the processed water by the average MTBE concentration <br /> (8,700 µg/1) yields the approximate mass of MTBE removed from processed water <br /> i <br /> MMTSE = (390,218 1)(0 00000870 kg/0 = 3.4 kg MTBE <br /> i <br /> ' . A converstion factor of 2 205 lb/kg can be used to convert kilograms of MTBE to pounds <br /> of MTBE <br /> ' MMrsF- = (3 4 kg MTBE)(2 205 lb/kg) = 7.50 ib MTBE <br /> i <br /> I <br /> Advanced GwEnviroamental,{ne <br /> f <br /> i <br /> ' I <br />
