Guidelines require that the PAH content of scrubber waste water be monitored by fluorescence for water flow rates ≥ 2.5 tonnes/megawatt-hour (t/MWh). The maximum allowed concentration limit depends upon the water flow rate as shown in Table 1. …

For the purposes of this criteria, the PAH concentration in the washwater should be measured downstream of the water treatment equipment, but upstream of any washwater dilution or other reactant dosing unit, if used, prior to discharge.

PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons): The maximum continuous PAH concentration in the wash water should not be greater than 50 μg/L PAHphe (phenanthrene equivalence) above the inlet water PAH concentration.

Dec 9, 2022 · This limit would have to be adjusted upward for lower washwater flow rates per MWh, and vice-versa, according to the table below. Flow rate (t/MWh) Discharge concentration limit (μg/L PAH equivalents)

Aug 1, 2021 · Scrubber discharge water is enriched with metals and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Heavy fuel oil combustion with scrubbers increase the relative environmental load. Scrubbers introduce new contamination sources of chromium to the marine environment.

Nov 3, 2021 · In this work, we demonstrated an ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence with an optical feedback for the highly sensitive quantitative detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). A fluorescence sensor is presented owing to …

The values monitored and recorded should include pH, PAH, turbidity and temperature. In other areas the continuous monitoring and recording equipment should also be in operation, whenever the EGC system is in operation, except for short periods of maintenance and cleaning of …

Sample analysis is conducted by ISO 17025 certified SGS laboratories using US EPA approved methods (or equivalent) to test for 54 parameters, including PAHs and metals.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contamination represents a very relevant environmental problem worldwide. Due to PAH persistence, bioaccumulation and mutagenic effects on human health, restoration techniques for PAH - contaminated soils …

Nov 1, 2024 · PAH are known to have toxic, mutagenic, and/or carcinogenic properties and are ubiquitous in environmental samples (Chen et al., 2021). PAH molecules consist of two or more fused benzene rings, and the high-molecular weight PAH (e.g. benzo [a]pyrene) are more toxic.
