Is There Mercury In Your Industrial Wastewater Discharge?Posted by admin on: Sep 18, 2009 | Filed under News, PAI Press Releases, Tips  Is There Mercury In Your Industrial Wastewater Discharge? This article was written by Practical Applications’ biologist Kimberly Baxter and originally appeared in the December 2005 issue of Plumbing Engineer magazine. A PDF of the article is available HERE. Abstract An assessment of sampling locations for three industrial wastewater effluent piping systems is presented. The assessments provided demonstrate that by installing sampling ports at the appropriate location along an effluent stream’s piping system, truly representative samples can be collected. These real and accurate results scientifically prove that a specific industrial wastewater discharge does not contain mercury levels that will trigger regulatory enforcement action. |
