Treatment of Photographic Waste at Beale AFB, California ROBERT B. SPICHER, Associate Professor CAPT. GEORGE M. IDEHARA, Graduate Student MAJOR JAMES G. KAUTZ, Graduate Student Department of Civil Engineering San Jose State College San Jose, California INTRODUCTION Recovery of valuable metals and removal of cyanides has normally been the primary concern in the treatment of photographic wastes. Individual industries have effectively recovered the silver used in the photo development process and the remaining waste is generally discharged into a receiving body with minimum treatment. Evidently, few problems have been encountered for little data is available on chemical treatment of photographic wastes. Beale Air Force Base located at Marysville, California has a chemical treatment plant to reduce the suspended solids of its photographic waste prior to its discharge into deep wells. Problems were encountered in the process and a study was made to improve it. It is believed this study (is one of the first made to find the optimum parameters and coagulants to be used for clarification of photographic wastes. The problem at Beale AFB was unique and this study was oriented towards the solution of the particular problem. Various portions of the process at Beale AFB are of a classified nature and have been purposely overlooked in this report. No specific references to the classified portions will be made. TREATMENT FACILITIES AT BEALE AFB The present installation for treatment of photographic wastes is a separate integral unit, completely independent of the nearby domestic waste treatment plant. The plant was designed to provide treatment for the maximum flow of photographic wastes that Beale AFB is capable of producing. Primarily, the plant is oriented to the removal of suspended solids and to maintaining a desired level of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the final effluent. The system was designed as a compact unit which would maximize removal of solids with a minimum space requirement and with a minimum of expense. 1008
