Founded in 1991, SPI is a company dedicated to creating products
that protect the environment from oil and hydrocarbon contamina-
tion. Starting with specialized absorbents to solidify spills and
sludge or separate oil from water, SPI has evolved into a leader in
producing state-of-the-art spill containment products and systems.
SPI technology has led to the development of passive oil containment
systems that offer 24/7 protection from the release of oil, whether a
faint sheen or a full blown spill. These systems are particularly
important for unmanned containment areas where oil contaminated
stormwater could runoff or overflow into the environment. SPI’s
endeavors have resulted in being granted six U.S. and four Canadian
patents with other U.S. and foreign patents pending.
In addition to effectively trapping oil, the media in SPI products will
physically react with oil to instantaneously form a plug thus prevent-
ing any oil from being discharged from an SPI product or contain-
ment system. Many materials absorb oil but only SPI offers products
that guarantee maximum performance: No oil has ever escaped an
SPI product.
Over the years, thousands of SPI Petro-Plugs®, Petro-Pipes®, Petro-
Barriers™ and custom made oil absorbing products have been
installed across the United States, Canada and throughout the world.
All have performed up to or beyond expectations. SPI continues to
find solutions to even the most difficult environmental problems
related to contamination from oil, hydrocarbons and related materials.
Our capabilities range from retrofitting storm drains for 100% oil
spill containment to engineering and manufacturing custom products
for a multitude of applications that are
vital to all industries that seek to protect
the environment.
SPI continues to develop new products
and expand the capabilities of current
products. Recently SPI has added cus-
tom-sized heating blankets for its Petro-
Barriers and their external filters to
allow the Barriers to function in freez-
ing weather. With the aid of a sump
pump, SPI can now collect and treat subsurface water by pumping
the potentially contaminated water through a Petro-Barrier. This con-
figuration of a Petro-Barrier is designated as a Pump-Thru-Barrier
and is one of our most popular products.

Water, in and of itself, is quite an amazing commodity. It is one of
the building blocks of life—organisms ranging from human to plants
to animals cannot survive without it. Municipalities could not exist
without a readily available supply of water, teamed with the munici-
pality’s ability to consistently deliver that water to a wide array of,
for example, residences, businesses , hospitals and community cen-
ters.
The operations in many of the world’s major industries would also
halt without water, which is used as an ingredient in thousands of fin-
ished products, from food to cosmetics. Water is also used as a clean-
ing or cooling agent for equipment in many heavy-duty industrial-
equipment applications. In instances like these, water often becomes
wastewater, which must either be treated or disposed of. With empha-
sis being placed on environmental responsibility in many industries,
this means that proper wastewater handling and treatment is becom-
ing more and more crucial.
So, with water playing such a critical role in the lives and industries
of Earth’s inhabitants, there is paramount need for pumping technolo-
gy that can efficiently, reliably and safely handle water, from its most
pristine state to the soiled variety that flows into a water-treatment
facility. Wastewater can be especially problematic for pumping
equipment because it can become fouled with abrasives or solids that
can harm pumps, or hazardous materials that must be contained in
order to protect the safety of plant personnel and the environment.
This white paper will highlight why one type of pumping technolo-
gy—positive displacement peristaltic (hose) pumps—can rise to the
challenges inherent in the handling and treatment of water and waste-
water in any of a wide variety of municipal and industrial applica-
tions.
The Challenge
The design and operational characteristics of peristaltic (hose) pump
technology, which was patented in 1925 in France, make it a wise
choice in a wide range of waterhandling applications—from moving
viscous and/or abrasive slurries to the transfer of water-thin, nonlu-
bricating fluids and shear-sensitive materials. These characteristics
make peristaltic (hose) pumps ideal for the full array of diverse oper-
ations within the water-and-wastewater industry.
Peristaltic (hose) pumps satisfy the requirements of such a wide
range of water-and-wastewater applica-
tions because their operation is based on
the alternating contraction and relaxation
of the hose, forcing the contents to move
through the pump and into the discharge
piping. A smooth-wall, flexible hose is
fitted in the pump casing and
is squeezed between shoes on the rotor
and the inside of the pump casing. This
rotating action moves the product
through the hose at a constant rate of
displacement. The hose restitution after
the squeeze produces an almost full vac-
uum that draws the product into the hose
from the intake piping. The pump casing
is lubricated to cool the pump and lengthen the service life of the
shoes and hose. Since the product only contacts the hose and not the
internal pump components, this pumping technology is very suitable
for abrasive and corrosive applications.
This pump style also maintains excellent volumetric consistency,
making it ideal for the strict dosing and 24/7 operating cycles that
can be required in wastewater treatment applications. The pump’s
seal-free design makes it dry-run, self-priming and low-slip capable,
and eliminates any potential leak or contamination points while
simultaneously providing superior suction lift. Finally, peristaltic
(hose) pumps are easy to operate and easy to maintain. The pump’s
reversible operation also allows for pumping in both directions.
In order to successfully handle the challenges of water-and-waste-
water handling and treatment, the peristaltic pump’s hose—which,
because of its seal-less design, is the only component to actually
come in contact with the pumped medium—needs to achieve the
highest level of material compatibility, while also being able to rel-
iably deliver the millions of pumping cycles that are required
during its lifetime.
Another consideration when selecting a hose material is its “fatigue
resistance.” This trait defines how resistant to failure the hose materi-
al is as it runs through its millions of pumping cycles. A hose materi-
al that is susceptible to developing cracks and holes relatively early

in its operational life is not as desirable as a material that can reliably
handle the demands of the repeated contraction and relaxation of the
hose, especially when particulate-laden liquids are being pumped.
The reinforced construction of the peristaltic hose and its use of rub-
ber compositions that have been specially designed for the stresses
within the peristaltic hose allow for the optimum life cycle and per-
formance.
The Solution
Abaque Series pumps feature a seal-free design that eliminates leaks
and product contamination, which enables them to handle the tough-
est water-and-wastewater pumping applications, from abrasive and
aggressive fluids to shear-sensitive and viscous materials. The
pumps, which can run in either forward or reverse, are self-priming
and offer suction-lift capabilities to 9 meters (25.5 feet), as well as
the ability to run dry continuously without adversely affecting the
pump’s performance. Ductile-iron and steel construction lets the
pump produce discharge pressures as high as 16 bar (232 psi).
The Abaque pump’s hoses are available in three materials of con-
struction, all of which have been chosen because of their high levels
of fatigue resistance:
• Natural rubber – highly resilient with excellent abrasion
resistance and strength
• EPDM – high chemical resistance, especially when
handling concentrated acids, and alcohols
• Buna®-N – highly wear resistant to natural gas
containing products
Abaque pumps are available in 10 different sizes and 19 total models
with flow rates ranging from 1.7 to 1,249 L/min (0.46 to 330 gpm).
They have been designed to handle products with water-like viscosi-
ties to those as high as 70,000 cSt (352,000 SSU), solid particle sizes
from 1.5 mm to 18 mm (0.06 inches to 0.71 inches) and soft particle
sizes from 1.5 mm to 31 mm (0.06 inches to 1.22 inches). All Abaque
pumps can handle product temperatures ranging from 0ºC to 70ºC
(32ºF to 158ºF) with models featuring an EPDM hose capable of han-
dling maximum temperatures to 80ºC (176ºF). Optional equipment
includes hose-failure detectors, vacuum kits and non-metallic (PPH
and PVDF) inserts.
Conclusion
The water-and-wastewater universe is one of the most diverse in the
global economy. This diversity means that the pumps used in all
types of water-and-wastewater operations must be nimble and versa-
tile enough to cope with fluids with many different levels of viscosi-
ty, temperature, corrosiveness, toxicity, abrasiveness and particulate
levels, to name a few. These varying product characteristics must also
be successfully handled while adhering to strict production quotas
and environmental requirements. For more than 80 years, peristaltic
(hose) pump technology has been a leading choice for water-and-
wastewater handlers and treaters who know the value of highly reli-
able, environmentally friendly, maintenance-free pump operation.

The scientific and regulatory communities have long been aware of
the potential for migration of vapors from contaminated subsurface
areas into buildings. As a result, in 2002 the US EPA issued draft
guidance that provided recommendations for determining whether the
vapor intrusion pathway posed a risk to human health at cleanup
sites. These guidelines led to the development of two EPA methods,
TO-15 and TO-17, for the determination of toxic volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) in air. In Method TO-15, the vapor is collected
in a metal (summa) canister, withdrawn and concentrated onto an
adsorbent trap. The sample is then desorbed from the trap and
focused onto a GC column for separation and detected by mass spec-
trometry. However, there are several limitations with the TO-15
approach, because it only recovers up to naphthalene (nC10), while
several regulatory directives require measurements up to at least
nC13. In addition, many soil gas samples contain diesel vapors, and
canisters cannot recover higher boiling components of diesel. Other
challenges include high moisture content and the requirement for a
greater number of analytes over a wide range of concentrations.
Method TO-17 overcomes many of these problems by using a sor-
bent tube instead of a metal canister, containing adsorbent material
specifically selected to trap the analytes of interest. The soil vapor is
sampled through the tube, and then desorbed onto a secondary trap
into the analytical column to be analyzed by GC/MS.
CARO Analytical Services
CARO Analytical Services, headquartered in British Columbia, is
considered one of the leading authorities on soil vapor analysis in
North America, having authored several reports on the sampling and
analysis of VOCs in soil gas samples. However, they were aware
that current tube technology was incapable of recovering higher boil-
ing components such as diesel, while still being able to capture the
low boiling point gases. In addition, the Canadian Council of
Ministers of the Environment (CCME) wanted to add aromatic
hydrocarbons above naphthalene to the target analyte list. These
directives led CARO to look for innovative ways to analyze higher
boiling point compounds. The challenge they faced was that there
were no thermal desorption tubes available that could fully support
the new regulations. It was clear they had to come up with a solution
that could handle the full range of components from the most volatile
gases through to C24, in order to fully meet the demands of their
clients.
Collaboration
This led CARO to approach PerkinElmer for their expertise in ther-
mal desorption and air monitoring. This collaboration eventually
resulted in the design of a new adsorbent tube with the following
capabilities:
• Extends analyte range beyond naphthalene
• Achieves high recovery of the high boiling components
• Ensures retention of the most volatile components during sam-
pling
• Contains adsorbents that do not produce target artifacts
• Enables quick clean-up of the tubes with no carry-over
• Optimizes water management
• Increases sampling volumes to achieve regulatory detection
limits
The tube contains multiple layers of different charcoal-based sor-
bents, arranged so that the sample is exposed to increasingly stronger
sorbents as it penetrates the tube. This design prevents the absorption
of the heavier components onto the stronger sorbents that would oth-
erwise not release them. Instead, the heavier components are
adsorbed onto the weaker sorbents in the front of the tube, while the
lighter components are adsorbed onto the stronger sorbents in the
back end of the tube. The weaker sorbents protect the strong adsor-
bents from irreversible adsorption and leave the tube clean after one
desorption cycle. The new tube, which is shown in Figure 1, handles
the broadest possible analyte range from dichlorodifluoromethane
(nC3) to phenanthrene (nC24).
Figure 1: The new soil vapor intrusion (SVI) tube
Real-World Capability
A critical factor in the performance of an adsorbent is the “break-
through volume”, which is defined as the volume sampled when the
amount of analyte collected in a backup sorbent tube reaches 5% of
the total amount collected by both sorbent tubes. The results from a
rigorous, real-world experiment of spiking a sample in triplicate with
0.3 µg of 83 VOC mixture, 0.25 µg of a suite of polynuclear aromat-
ic hydrocarbons and 10 µg of diesel using a flow rate of 100 mL/min
of humidified nitrogen for 100 minutes, detected only two compo-
nents that showed a slight breakthrough - dichlorofluoromethane
(1%) and choromethane (5.4%). Figure 2 illustrates this experiment
in greater detail.

TO-17 methodology

Another very important performance criterion is spike recovery,
which involves the analysis of a blank tube and then re-analyzing the
spiked tube described earlier to determine if all analytes are desorbed
off the tube from the first desorption. The table below demonstrates
the excellent recovery of the higher boiling point analytes.
Table 1: % Recovery of the higher boiling point analytes
Summary
There is no question that this collaboration has resolved traditional
limitations in sampling and detection capability associated with soil
vapor analysis and air sampling in general. It has resulted in a ther-
mal desorption tube that is clearly better suited to solve real-world
application problems than previous designs. This has enabled CARO
Analytical Services to develop procedures to analyze a wider range
of soil gas samples, achieve significantly lower detection limits and
meet the demands of its customers.

Around 90 % of city dwellers in the European Union (EU) are
exposed to one of the most damaging air pollutants at levels deemed
harmful to health by the World Health Organisation (WHO). This
result comes from the latest assessment of air quality in Europe,
published by the European Environment Agency (EEA).
The report, ‘Air quality in Europe – 2013 report’, is an EEA contri-
bution to the European Commission’s review of air quality policy
and the EU ‘Year of Air’.
Vehicles, industry, agriculture and homes are contributing to air pol-
lution in Europe. Despite falling emission levels and reductions of
some air pollutant concentrations in recent decades, the report
demonstrates that Europe’s air pollution problem is far from solved.
Two specific pollutants, particulate matter and ground-level ozone,
continue to be a source of breathing problems, cardiovascular dis-
ease and shortened lives. New scientific findings show that human
health can be harmed by lower concentrations of air pollution than
previously thought.
Hans Bruyninckx, EEA Executive Director, said: “Air pollution is
causing damage to human health and ecosystems. Large parts of the
population do not live in a healthy environment, according to cur-
rent standards. To get on to a sustainable path, Europe will have to
be ambitious and go beyond current legislation.”
Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik added: “Air quality is a
central concern for many people. Surveys show that a large majority
of citizens understand well the impact of air quality on health and
are asking public authorities to take action at EU, national and local
levels, even in times of austerity and hardship. I am ready to
respond to these concerns through the Commission’s upcoming Air
Policy Review.”
Between 2009 and 2011, up to 96 % of city dwellers were exposed
to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations above WHO
guidelines and up to 98 % were exposed to ozone (O3) levels above
WHO guidelines. Lower proportions of EU citizens were exposed to
levels of these pollutants exceeding the limits or targets set out in
EU legislation. These EU limits or targets are in certain cases less
strict than WHO guidelines. It is not just cities - some rural areas
also have significant levels of air pollution, the report notes.
National differences across Europe are presented in a series of coun-
try fact-sheets accompanying the main findings. There have been
several success stories in cutting emissions of air pollutants – for
example, sulphur dioxide emissions from power plants, industry and
transport have been reduced over the last decade, reducing expo-
sure. Phasing out leaded petrol has also reduced concentrations of
lead, found to affect neurological development.
Eutrophication
Alongside health concerns, the report also highlights environmental
problems such as eutrophication, which is when excessive nutrient
nitrogen damages ecosystems, threatening biodiversity.
Eutrophication is still a widespread problem that affects most
European ecosystems.
Emissions of some nitrogen-containing pollutants have decreased,
for example, emissions of nitrogen oxides and ammonia have fallen
by 27 % and 7 % respectively since 2002. However, emissions were
not reduced as much as anticipated, with eight EU Member States
breaching legal ceilings a year after the deadline for compliance. To
address eutrophication, further measures are needed to reduce emis-
sions of nitrogen.

The natural gas production industry is experiencing record growth.
The gas reserves in the United States are thought to hold enough nat-
ural gas for hundreds of years and the gas and oil industry has
improved extraction techniques that make gas production more
affordable and less impactful on the landscape.
The Midstream Process
Midstream gas processing plants are complicated production facili-
ties. These plants process large quantities of natural gas and hydro-
carbons. Safety comes first at every site and high quality standards
drive every decision. Natural gas has to be processed to very
demanding industry standards.
The process involves cleaning
natural gas of harmful impurities
and water. When natural gas is
extracted from the ground it con-
tains high amounts of CO2,
water, and corrosive sulfur com-
pounds. A common processing
operation includes glycol dehy-
dration and amine stripping. An
amine stripper is a counter cur-
rent stripping operation where
natural gas is directed into the bottom of a tall tower and an amine
liquid solution is poured into the top of the tower. As the gas contacts
the liquid, the CO2, water, and H2S impurities are adsorbed from that
gas and held in the liquid. The natural gas is now processed and
ready to be directed to the downstream users. The amine system uses
a re-boiler that boils off the CO2, water, other VOC’s, and H2S so the
amine solution can be re-used. The vent gas from the re-boiler is the
subject to EPA guidelines; 40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart HH. Under this
rule, greater than 95 percent of the pollutants must be destroyed
before release to atmosphere.
The Problem
The typical off gas from an amine treatment system is rich in CO2,
contains substantial amounts of water, and varying concentrations of
hydrogen sulfide (H2S). These three components combine to form a
corrosive gas that has a tendency to condense and form a corrosive
liquid. The gas also contains a variety of hydrocarbons such as;
methane, ethane, propane, butane, benzene and others, all in varying
concentrations. To further complicate the abatement plan, the gas
contains no oxygen. Oxygen is a necessary ingredient when “oxidiz-
ing” VOC’s.
Given the complications the vent gas presents, many operators have
opted to use flares as the abatement device. However, flares have
several drawbacks that prevent efficient operation and under recently
proposed EPA changes to the rules, flares will surely be discontinued
in many future plant designs. (See, for example, 40 CFR, Part 63.11b
for flare design criteria that will apply to flare installations in the
future). As a replacement technology for flares, thermal VOC abate-
ment can be broken down into two common technologies:
1. Catalytic Oxidation uses a catalyst to initiate conversion of hydro-
carbons to CO2 and water vapor at low temperatures. However, given
the presence of sulfur compounds (sulfur is a catalyst poison),
Catalytic Oxidation is not a good long term choice.
2. Thermal Oxidation is a process by which the vent gas is raised to
1,400°F, held in a reaction chamber where the hydrocarbons are oxi-
dized to CO2 and water vapor. Thermal Oxidation provides very high
destruction efficiency and is considered a safer method than flaring.
Gas processors are now focused on efficient operations of their
plants. The old school mentality of the gas processor did not consider
natural gas fuel efficiency because they had an unlimited supply of
the fuel. Now the modern gas processing facility understands the gas
they use in their operations is less gas they can sell downstream.
Plus, EPA considers Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions as a regulated
air pollutant. Methane, the primary component in natural gas, is a
GHG with a Global Warming Potential 21 times that of carbon diox-
ide, according to the EPA. Midstream processors have multiple
issues to think about when designing their plants:
• Reliable VOC abatement systems
• Long lasting designs that consider the corrosive nature of the vent
gas
• Safe designs that are capable of operating in hazardous areas
• Fuel efficient to help lower processing costs, provide more product
for sale, and limit GHG emissions
The Solution
For a successful project, the processor should work with a company
that has a long history in the petro-industries, offers a complete prod-
uct line, has the knowledge to integrate a safe system, and a support
staff with a proven track record of success.
Next, a thorough review of the expected vent gas must be conducted.
As noted earlier, different natural gas regions have different varieties
of gas, and thus different vent gases can be expected. Once the vent
gas has been defined the final choice of abatement technology can be
considered.
Thermal Oxidation can be segmented into three primary technologies
for the natural gas processor:
• Regenerative Thermal Oxidation – uses ceramic media and switch
ing valves
• Recuperative Thermal Oxidation – uses traditional shell and tube
heat exchanger
• Non-recuperative Thermal Oxidation – commonly called an after-
burner or combustor, this system does not employ heat recovery.
These systems easily meet EPA requirements, but consume substan-
tial amounts of fuel.
We consider all three systems appropriate technology, but the final
choice is usually based on the expected amount of VOC’s contained
in the vent gas. If the vent gas contains low amounts of VOC (usually
less than 10 percent of the LEL) then the Regenerative Thermal
Oxidizer (RTO) is an appropriate device. However, if the vent gas
contains higher LEL or upset conditions that may exceed 25 percent,
then the Recuperative Thermal Oxidizer is a better choice. Certain
circumstances may point to the use of the non-recuperative Thermal
Oxidizer, but considering the high fuel use, these systems are
employed less. Catalytic Products International, 847/438-0334, www.cpilink.com

Mine Water Treatment Plant uses Zero Liquid Waste Process to Improve Water Quality of Monongahela River Watershed
Veolia Water, a water and wastewater services and technologies com-
pany, has successfully commissioned and begun operational manage-
ment of the CONSOL Energy Inc. Northern West Virginia Water
Treatment Facility near Mannington, W.Va. The Zero Liquid Waste
(ZLW) facility designed and built by Veolia will treat 3,500 gallons
per minute of mine drainage. By employing a ZLW process, water of
low quality is extracted and treated, and clean water is returned to the
ecosystem, improving the water balance and condition of the
Monongahela River watershed.
Veolia will provide operational management of the facility for the
next 10 years, guaranteeing CONSOL continual performance and
optimization of the system. The ZLW treatment concept removes
contaminants in the mine water and reduces them to solid salts. The
process also uses a number of sustainable practices and technology
applications, reducing the carbon and energy footprint of the treat-
ment process.
This environmentally sustainable design and construction approach
was developed to help CONSOL meet discharge standards for chlo-
rides in West Virginia’s waterways. The facility will treat water from
CONSOL’s Blacksville #2, Loveridge and Robinson Run mining
operations.
“In partnering with Veolia on this first-of-its-kind in scale and scope
project, we were able to bring the water treatment plant online on
time, under budget, and in full compliance with our permits,” com-
mented Katharine Fredriksen, senior vice president environmental
strategy and regulatory affairs. “This demonstrates the success of
partnering with a company that shares our commitment to our core
values of Safety, Compliance, and Continuous Improvement.”
To quantify the benefits of the water treatment facility to the
Monongahela River, Veolia conducted a Water Impact Index (WIIX)
evaluation. Developed by Veolia, the WIIX measures not only water
volume, but the level of stress upon local water resources, overall
water quality and indirect water impacts from chemicals and electric-
ity. Measuring all these factors, the WIIX calculates the water impact
of the new treatment facility will be 1.3 billion gallons of high-quali-
ty water per year returned to the Monongahela River basin, validating
a positive environmental impact by the water treatment facility.
“Veolia is continually working to develop sustainable solutions to
meet the needs of our industrial customers while benefitting the envi-
ronment,” said Kirk Schwab, general manager of Veolia Water
Solutions & Technologies’ Pittsburgh office that designed and built
the facility. “We are pleased to deliver this state-of-the-art project for
CONSOL and believe that it will be the benchmark for mine water
treatment in the Appalachian region for years to come.”
Steve Hopper, executive vice president and chief operating officer for
Veolia Environnement North America’s Industrial business, said,
“The partnership with CONSOL goes beyond meeting new regulato-
ry requirements. It combines technical know-how with operational
expertise to implement a solution which positively impacts the envi-
ronment while meeting the production needs of CONSOL through
guaranteed performance.”
Veolia Water is the water division of Veolia Environnement.Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies is the Veolia Water sub-sidiary that specializes in technological solutions and design andbuild projects for water and wastewater treatment, serving industrialand municipal clients.www.veoliawaterst.com or www.veoliawaterstna.com
