Soil AND Water treatment coming to ORNL
In 2010, MSE designed & fabricated a working-prototype for only one part of the numerous necessary solutions needed at Oak Ridge in the area of mercury remediation. It was a small ion-exchange treatment system that has been successfully treating Sump water at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), removing as much as 99% of the mercury from the water.
While it was highly successful, it was used as one step in a process to "deliver important cost and performance data for the DOE Complex." We may very well find that through the collaborative efforts of MSE & M2Polymer, that the new formulated treatment, was an evolution of the initially designed ion-exchange treatment system. Something, that in effect, may be able to process at a greater rate, but with similar successful mercury-capture rates of 99%. Keep in mind that this development, and testing was specifically designed for the Department of Energy at ORNL.
Just to give you an idea, DOE is currently storing almost 90 million gallons of high-level waste in underground tanks at the Hanford, Savannah River, and Idaho sites that must be retrieved, treated, and disposed of. It was our new Director of Operations, John Gilbert, who successfully handled that Hanford headaches, and just to give you an idea of the experience he brings, he has all the credentialed leadership experience the DOE needs to tackle the The DOE's plan to remove and dispose of five underground tanks that are potential sources of mercury contamination at ORNL (Oak Ridge). Studies were also done to determine the potential for removing mercury from the soil at ORNL. This has MBS written all over it.
As noted in sevenOdouble's link today:
"Environmental engineers are designing a new water-treatment facility that should reduce mercury to regulatory limits at the headwaters of the creek."
I'd be willing to bet that the MSE prototype was the foundation for this, and that through the collaborative efforts of MSE & M2Polymer, that the new formulated treatment may very well be the culmination of new water-treatment effort
