Abstract
This invention relates to a modular wastewater treatment system that uses multiple treatment units to neutralize or remove contaminants in the wastewater generated during site cleanup or decontamination activities; particularly to the treatment of wastewater from the cleanup or decontamination of biohazard or homeland security events, wherein the treatment is adaptable to the site specific conditions related to the biological or chemical agent used in the attack and to the cleanup method being used.
Claims7
A method for treating wastewater generated as a result of a biohazardous terrorist event comprising:
- (a) introducing at least one chlorine containing agent into said influent wastewater at a level of at least 100,000 mg/L to produce a super-chlorinated effluent effective to extirpate contaminants contained within said influent;
- (b) neutralizing said super-chlorinated effluent with an effective amount of a de-chlorinating agent with said super-chlorinated effluent, thereby providing a substantially neutralized final effluent;
- (c) transporting said neutralized effluent though at least one reverse osmosis unit to lower the dissolved solids contained therein, whereby a final treated effluent is generated;
- and
- said final treated effluent is discharged.
