Full-Scale Treatment of Field Military Wastewaters LAWRENCE K. WANG, Assistant Professor Department of Chemical and Environmental Engeering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Troy, New York 12180 ROBERT G. ROSS, Chemist VINCENT J. CICCONE, Deputy Chief Sanitary Sciences Division U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center Fort Belvoir, Virginia 22060 INTRODUCTION U.S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Center (US AMERDC) is conducting extensive research programs concerning the treatment of various field military wastewaters, such as laundry wastewaters, kitchen and dining room wastewaters, shower and lavatory wastewaters, human wastes, hospital wastewaters, photographic wastewaters, washrack wastewaters, and various combined wastewaters. Under a program sponsored by the USAMERDC, Calspan Corporation (1) has surveyed and documented the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the aforementioned waste streams. Special emphasis of this paper is placed on the mobile treatment of field kitchen, laundry and shower wastewaters. A logical approach to the preliminary process selection, and a subsequent technical approach to the laboratory-scale and full-scale treatability studies are presented. The mechanism of the selected treatment system is also discussed. There are about seven major factors which would affect the selection of a field military waste treatment system: a) the characteristics of the target wastes; b) the level of waste treatment required; c) the mobility of treatment facility; d) the simplicity of installation and treatment operation; e) the compatibility of waste treatment facilities with other field military operations; 0 the capital and O&M costs; and g) the preference of military administration and management. Although these factors are not of equal importance, they all should be considered to a reasonable extent. First of all, the characteristics of three target waste streams (i.e., the field kitchen, laundry and shower wastewaters) should be understood. Reference 1 has presented the volumes and the concentration ranges of these waste streams in detail. It has been learned that they contain nonhazardous anionic surfactants and other dissolved and suspended solids. So far there are no specific effluent discharge standards for controlling the military field operations. It is suggested that the level of waste treatment be equivalent to the secondary biological waste treatment. 1005
