| dc.description.abstract | The ten commercial companies that engage heavily in barge cleaning activities in Texas generate between 75 and 100 million gallons of wastewater per year. Although the quantity of waste-water is relatively small compared to many other industries in the State, it is significant because of the poor quality of the wastewater and location of the cleaning companies along the major waterways of the Gulf Coast. Pollution potential from this type of wastewater is high because it contains oil and dissolved organic material, and has a wide variation in pH. Wastewater generation and present treatment techniques are explained with the results of the field and laboratory effort. A management plan is presented which includes proposed cleaning methods and treatment schemes designed to enhance the water quality of the Texas Gulf Coast. | en |
