Hungerford & Terry Announces A Radium Removal
Process That
Meets Latest EPA Standards with Substantially Lower Costs
Substantial
Market Potential; Get Full Information at ACE Booth No. 3444
Clayton, NJ – Hungerford & Terry
announced the introduction of a radium process that removes radium from
municipal drinking water supplies at significant cost savings compared
with standard ion exchange.
Information on the new process will be
available at the Hungerford & Terry booth, Number 3444 American Water
Works Association Annual Conference and Exposition to be held in San Diego,
California during the week of June 14-18, 2009.
Current U.S. EPA radium content limits for
drinking water has an established MCL of 5 pCi/L for radium 226 & 228 and
seeks to achieve zero radium in all U.S. municipal drinking water supplies
as a necessary goal. H & T's new process facilitates meeting this requirement.
Hungerford & Terry's radium removal process
delivers a significant benefit over ordinary water softener resins: It eliminates
the regeneration that produces radioactive brine, thus reducing labor and material
costs in the radium removal. With this new process, there is no regeneration step
or any waste regenerant. An additional cost saving is also realized with a
substantial reduction in the volume of resin required in the radium removal
versus standard softening resins.
The EPA estimates that the emerging market potential
for this new process will be in the treatment to water supplies in New Jersey,
Maryland, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Texas and in the Eastern Rockies of the US.
In March 2009 - Hungerford & Terry, Inc. was selected
by the City of Vineland, New Jersey to design equipment to remove radium from four
municipal city wells. All of the systems for the four designated wells are identical
in specifications and design, and each one includes two 102" diameter (2.5909m)
exchangers to remove radium.
Prior to this radium removal process, the City of
Vineland had been unable to utilize these wells because they exceeded the MCL
drinking water regulations for radium.
In 2009, Hungerford & Terry, Inc. celebrates 100 years
of water conditioning for a wide range of industrial, commercial and municipal
operations throughout the world.
Since its inception in 1909, Hungerford & Terry has designed and manufactured thousands of systems that incorporate both conventional and unique water treatment technologies that include removal of iron, manganese, nitrate, arsenic and hydrogen sulfides.
Today, Hungerford & Terry is a leading distributor of high-performance water filtration media, including GreensandPlus. Based in Clayton, NJ, USA, Hungerford & Terry has over 30 sales representative organizations throughout the United States, as well as representatives in Canada, Central America, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Asia.
