TBT in Shipyard Washwaters

Tributyltin (TBT) removal from shipyard washwaters and sonar dome water has been studied for over three years using full-scale field treatment, laboratory bench-top treatment, and both field and laboratory pilot-scale treatment processes. This work is ongoing and progress and final reports as well as proceedings papers are provided. Treatment efforts have included coagulation, clarification, filtration, GAC adsorption, UV irradiation, membranes, and ozonation.
