Tyndall AFB

Oil-Water Separator Efficiency Study

Tyndall AFB, FL

ECE performed a study to determine the efficiency of oil-water separators in treating Tyndall AFB wastewater. ECE investigated and characterized the processes and activities which occur at each oil water separator (OWS). ECE also investigated the capability of existing OWS to provide sufficient pretreatment to comply with the Bay County Advanced Wastewater Treatment (AWT) Standards, and recommended cost-effective solutions that would meet the Bay County AWT Standards.

Hazardous Waste Management Plan

Pope AFB, NC and other locations

ECE revised and updated the hazardous waste plan for the base as well as reviewed applicable Air Force instruction and federal and state regulations. We conducted site visits at each facility operating on base, interviewed facility personnel, reviewed records, inspected waste accumulation points and documented waste minimization management practices. The plan provides guidance for the management of hazardous waste by establishing procedures for proper waste accumulation, storage and transportation from point of generation to final disposition. Other locations include:

Brentwood Major Repair and Overhaul Yard – Washington, DC
Landover Bus Garage – Landover, MD
Greenbelt Rail Yard Facility – Greenbelt, MD
14th Street Bus Facility – Washington DC
New Carrollton Rail Yard Facility – New Carrollton, MD

Biotreatment Pilot Study

Southeastern Division Bus Garage and Bladensburg Bus Garage in Washington, DC

ECE performed an environmental study to determine appropriate treatment of wastewater from the bus facility. The wastewater generated from bus washing and engine steam cleaning activities at the facility flows through a gravity Oil/water separator (OWS) prior to discharge to the combined sewer system that flows to Blue Plains Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). ECE performed cost analysis of treatment alternatives and provided recommendations after comparing the biological treatment with the other existing technologies that were applicable to the site.
