Fate of  Priority Pollutants in  Publicly
Owned  Treatment Works
Pilot Study Summary

Introduction

The  United  States  Environmental Protection  Agency
(EPA) has  initiated  a  program to study the  occurrence
and  fate of  129 selected  toxic organic  and inorganic
pollutants  (priority pollutants)  by means  of  a sampling
program at 40 Publicly OwnedTreatment Works(POTW's).
The  major  goals of  the program are to characterize the
impact of toxic pollutants on the POTW treatment process
and to study the effects of secondary treatment on priority
pollutants  The  data obtained from this study  may impact
the pretreatment regulations for  indirect dischargers.

The  first  phase of the program was a pilot study of two
POTW's to determine the  optimum field methodologies to
be used throughout the program and to develop prelim-
inary conclusions regarding the incidence, impact and fate
of  priority  pollutants   in  POTW's   which  will be
substantiated as the sampling progresses through the 40
plants. Also  examined in this study were  the  overall
removal  of priority pollutants in POTW influents, the
concentration of priority pollutants in sludge and the
formation of chlorinated  hydrocarbons during chlorine
disinfection

The  determination   of  optimum  field  methodologies
included selecting parameters of interest and establishing
technical procedures for sampling. This involved (1) deter-
mining sampling points which best characterize informa-
tion  regarding fate of priority pollutants, (2) establishing
sampling frequency for obtaining the most representative
picture of  wastewater fluctuations, and  (3) developing
analytical protocol for samples to assure that consistent
and  accurate results are  obtained throughout the study.


The  Study

The  two  POTW's sampled (A  &  B) for  the program are
conventional activated sludge  plants but  differ signifi-
cantly  in  size,  percent industrial flow, age, operation,
sludge conditioning  methodology and capacity utilized.

Plant A has an average daily flow of 96 to 108 mgd, 30
percent of which is industrial waste, primarily from major
industries including pharmaceutical manufacture, petro-
chemicals,  plating  operations,  automotive  foundries,
coking operations and food processing p.lanis. Sludge
conditioning  methods include primary sludge thickening
by gravity thickeners, secondary by Dissolved Air Flotation
(DAF), vacuum filtration and incineration.

The flow to Plant B is primarily residential with an average
daily flow  of 8 to 10 mgd,  2  percent of  which is  from
industries: gram elevators, oil andfueltermmals, machine
tool and metal working companies and box and insulation
companies. Plant B sludge is combined from holdingtanks
with thickened (via DAF)  waste activated sludge. This
combined sludge passes to conditioning facilities and to
vacuum filtration.  The filtercake is  incinerated and the
decant is recycled to the sludge operation.

The wastewater treatment train at each plant is nearly
identical,  consisting  of   grit  chambers,  pre-aeration,
primary settling, aeration, secondary settling and chlorin-
ation. At both POTW's, the sampling points for the study
were chosen to best represent the wastewater at particu-
lar stages of treatment. The sampling  scheme for both
plants was nearly identical, and included sampling points
for the influent, the effluent before chlorination, the final
effluent, each of the various sludge conditions and the tap
water. At Plant A, however, the primary and secondary
sludge, the floatables, combined sludge and the vacuum
filtrate were sampled,  while at  Plant  B only the combined
and  secondary  (before and  after  DAF) sludge were
sampled.

Sampling spanned one week  at each plant—with an
additional week of sampling  influent  only  at Plant A.
Sampling consisted of 7-day,  24-hour composites  and
grab samples. Automatic samplers were used wherever
continuous flow existed. As an aid for comparison of plant
data,  identical  sampling techniques  and EPA sampling
protocols' were followed.
Results

Examination of the data collected from Plants A and B can
be summarized as follows. The more industrial Plant A
influent contained a higher incidence of priority pollutants
than Plant B influent. In total, 52 organic priority pollutants
were found mthe Plant A influent(18 overdetection limits)
and  only  33  in the  Plant B  raw wastewater (5  over
detection limits). Seven of the nine metallic priority pollu-
tants detected in the influents to both plants had higher
concentrations in the  Plant A influent.

In Plant A, the metallic priority pollutants present in detec-
table amounts were removed reasonably well. Antimony,
arsenic, beryllium,  selenium  and  thallium were never
found  above  detection  limits in  influent  or  effluent
samples. Chromium and copper were reduced to less than
50  /ug/l  (90 and  86 percent  removal, respectively).
Cadmium, nickel and zinc were removed somewhat less
effectively, averaging  59 to 65 percent. Lead and silver
were removed to below detection limits. Also, eight of nine
organic priority pollutants  detected in Plant A influent,
with an average concentration of over  10j/g/l, were
reduced by a minimum  of 50 percent (benzene,  1,1,1-
trichloroethylene, chloroform,  ethylbenzene, bis(2-ethyl-

 hexyl)  phthalate,   tetrachloroethylene,   toluene   and
 trichloroethylene).   Only phenol  was  not  effectively
 removed.  Metals at Plant B were found at relatively low
 concentrations. As  in Plant A, antimony, arsenic, beryl-
 lium, selenium and thallium were not measured above
 detection limits in either the influent or effluent Cadmium
 and silver were both reduced from several micrograms per
 liter to below detection limits  Cadmium, copper and zinc
 were reduced effectively, between 69 and  81 percent.
 Lead and nickel were removed less effectively Organic
 priority pollutants at Plant B occurred at such low concen-
 trations that removal data were not meaningful.

 Most of the metals at Plant A were present at high concen-
 trations  in  both the  primary  and secondary sludge.
 Cadmium, copper, lead, nickel and zinc were each found
 in primary sludge at concentrations over 100 times greater
 than in the influent. Chromium and cyanide were found in
 the primary sludge at 30 to 50 times the influent concen-
 tration  Antimony,  arsenic, and beryllium, which  were
 never measured above detection limits  in the influent,
 were all measured in the primary sludge  Several organic
 priority pollutants detected at very low concentrations in
 the  influent  accumulated in  the primary or secondary
 sludge. Among these were  acenaphthene (0 to 1 pig/I
 average  in the influent and 169pig/l  in the primary
 sludge),  1,2-benzanthracene  (<1  and 479),  3,4-benzo-
 fluoranthene (not  detected and 675), fluorene (<3 and
 313)  and pyrene (<3 and 757). Plant B data indicated the
 same general trends for metals as in Plant A. Chromium,
 copper, lead,  nickel  and zinc were found  in the combined
 sludge at approximately 100 times their concentrations in
 the  influent.  Arsenic, cadmium, cyanide, mercury  and
 silver  also accumulated in  the sludge,  but occurred  at
 overall lower levels  Antimony,  beryllium, selenium and
 thallium,  which were  never  measured above  detection
 limits in the influent were all  found  at  concentrations
 below 50/wg/l in the sludge. Several of the organic priority
 pollutants which were present at very low concentrations
 m influent also were more concentrated in the sludge.
 They included acrylonitrile (not detected in the influent and
 41 jjg/\ in the combined sludge), dichlorobromomethane
 (0-1 and 74) and3,4-benzofluoranthene(notdetectedand
 43).

 Mass balances were analyzed at each plant to compare the
 concentrations entering (influent) and leaving (effluent
and sludge) the POTW. The metallic priority pollutants at
Plant A balanced moderately well. Most of the metals
accumulated  in  the  sludge. The  concentrations of
cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, silver  and zinc
in the sludge were each 2 to 15 times the amounts in the
final effluent. However,  copper, lead and zinc balanced
poorly. Arsenic was detected m Plant A's sludge (4 Ib/day)
but was  not measured above the detection limit m the
influent. Some organic priority pollutants balanced poorly,
perhaps due to the release of volatile substances to the
atmosphere, a removal mechanism termed air stripping.
However, concentrations  of  other  organic  pollutants
which are less volatile, were found  concentrated in the
sludge Accumulation of pollutants in the sludge at Plant B
was less  pronounced  than at Plant  A  due to the lower
concentrations of priority pollutants in the influent. A few
metals accumulated to a  relatively small degree in the
sludge (chromium, copper, lead and zinc) and all of these
were found  in greater quantity in the  combined sludge
than  in- the  final effluent. There were  insufficient  data
upon which to draw conclusions  regarding the organic
priority pollutant removal mechanisms or concentrations
m sludges at Plant B

Samples  from  the  chlorine  contact  chambers  and
receiving  streams  were   analyzed  for  the  possible
formation of chlorinated  hydrocarbons  Results  from
sampling and analysis show that formation of chlorinated
hydrocarbons does occur.

Sampling frequency experiments  showed that influent
metallic  priority  pollutant concentrations  at  Plant  A
increased during  the week  and  dipped  during  the
weekends  and  that  high  concentrations were   also
observed  during the 8'00  a.m. to 4.00 p.m.  work-day
period. This variation was not evident in Plant B's system
Organic pollutant concentrations were  too low to show
significant trends.

The initial phase of study for the program has now been
completed and results from this two-plant investigation
have  been  published (EPA-440/1-79-300)  and  are
available at the Water Pollution Control  Federation Con-
ference through the Effluent  Guidelines Division, booth

New Seminar Series:  Sludge
Treatment and Disposal
The Cincinnati-based Municipal Environmental Research
Laboratory  and  Center  for  Environmental  Research
Information are planning a Technology Transfer  design
seminar series on sludge  treatment  and disposal  If
sufficient interest is expressed, the series would begin in
early or mid 1980. The proposed series would focus on the
effect of the 1 977 Clean Water Act as amended and the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act on the design of
sludge treatment and disposal facilities The seminars
would be  based on the newly revised Process Design
Manual on Sludge Treatment and Disposal  (see story on
page 1) A small registration fee may be required. If you are

The Center for Environmental Research Information has
published the first of a new series of Technology Transfer
reports on "Environmental Assessment." This series is
somewhat different from other Technology Transfer publi-
cations in that the topics, rather than focusing on control
technology or environmental engineering, will deal with
issues  involving  toxic  substances  and their effects on
human health and the environment Since much of the
Agency's effort and resources are now directed to regula-
ting the release of toxic chemicals into the environment,
the "Assessment"  series was  developed to provide  a
means for collecting and disseminating the  information
evolving from this effort. These reports are intended for an
audience whose  chief concern is  protection of human
health.

The first report in the series is entitled, "Short-Term Tests
for Carcinogens, Mutagens and Other Genotoxic Agents "
Short-term tests  are techniques developed  to serve as
rapid and relatively inexpensive predictors of a chemical's
potential to alter genetic material The report describesthe

New Design Seminars for Small
Wastewater Treatment Systems
To date, five Technology Transfer Seminars on "Waste-
water Treatment Facilities for Small Communities"have
been presented in 1979: Phoenix, Arizona, July 17-19;
Portland, Oregon, July 31 - August 2; Omaha, Nebraska,
August 14-16; Indianapolis, Indiana, August 28-30; and
New Orleans, Louisiana, September  18-20.

Nationwide, in years past, a total of 20 seminars have been
presented on this topic; however, the five 1979 seminars
included  two  new technical sessions: "Management of
On-site and Alternative Wastewater Systems," and "Plan-
ning  Wastewater  Management Facilities  for  Small
Communities." The management session, presented by
Peter Ciotoli and Kenneth Wiswall of Roy F. Weston, Inc ,
West Chester,  Pennsylvania,  included  discussions of
management  needs, functions  and dimensions (various
types of institutional approaches which can be utilized).
Actual case studies were used to illustrate the manage-
ment session. These studies, which involved extended
field trips  by planners and engineers, evaluated actual
administrative and operational practices utilized in several
communities  and  states.  Among  the  case studies
discussed  are  Fairfax County, Virginia,  Lake Meade,
Pennsylvania; Otter Tail  County,  Minnesota; Stinson
Beach, California; and the State of Maryland.

The  planning session,  presented  by James  Hudson,
Patricia Deese and Robert McMahon of Urban Systems
Research and Engineering, Inc., Cambridge, Massachu-
setts, and James Lake and Robert Williams of the National
Association of Conservation Districts, Washington, D.C.,
included information designed to aid engineers and the
small communities th-ey serve in applying and evaluating
various methods  for  wastewater  management  This
information is intended to impact the early steps  in the
planning process,  particularly  the  preapplication  and
facility planning (step 1) stages of the construction grants
program. Major  topics addressed at the seminar were
institutional and regulatory setting; the application  pro-
cess, development  of a community profile;  technical
problem identification and generation and evaluation of
systems for the community as a whole.
New Capsule Report:  Particulate
Control  by  Fabric Filtration  on Coal-
Fired  Industrial Boilers
Conversion of oil- and gas- to coal-fired boilers and the
promulgation  of more  stringent particulate  emission
regulations, have sparked a renewed interest in the use of
fabric filtration  for  boiler  particulate control. A  new
capsule  report,  describing  theory,  applications,  perfor-
mance and economics of fabric filtration, is available. To
