Case Study: Borough of Point Pleasant, New Jersey

This radium removal pilot study was conducted for the Borough of Point Pleasant, New Jersey at the Well No. 8 treatment facility. The raw water source for this pilot study was taken prior to any treatment, or the addition of any chemicals. The pilot unit was run on a continuous basis throughout the study. Water from the well will be treated with lime and chlorine and then aerated for the removal of radon before it enters the distribution system. Naturally occurring radionuclides in the Borough of Point Pleasant’s raw water source exceed current Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCL’s) for combined radium.
