Pilot Programs: WRT’s on-site successes.
At facilities across the country, pilot studies have demonstratedthe effectiveness of WRT’s process at reducing radium levels towell below the MCL. Depending on a facility’s needs, WRT canprovide portable or mobile units for pilot tests. The purpose is to demonstrate the technology, determine media life, establishoperating costs and—when applicable—fulfill pilotingrequirements for regulatory approval.
• WRT provides delivery and setup of self-contained,ready-to-operate units
• Operator training provided• All necessary supplies and equipment are included• Length of pilot test is typically 1 - 3 months• Utility monitors operation and collects samples
Upon completion of a pilot study, we will prepare a report of theresults and a detailed cost proposal for the design, delivery andmaintenance of a full-scale system. All processes and services areprovided by WRT, eliminating a capital equipment investment by thecustomer.
WRT’s Z-88 process consistently reduced radiumlevels as high as 17.8 pCi/L to below theMCL of 5 pCi/L.

WRT®:Contaminant removal from source to solution.
To help customers meet regulatory compliance standards, WRT designs, builds and provides processesfor removing radium, chromium, arsenic, ammonia, uranium, barium and other contaminants fromwater or waste water. These patent-pending processes are the simplest, most effective and cost-efficient available, utilizing proprietary treatment media mined, processed and formulated by WRT. What’s more, our long-term contract package of process/services includes equipment, media,exchange of media, and proper handling and disposal of used media.
Advantages of the Z-88™ Radium Removal Process.
Provided on a cost-per-1,000 gallons treated, long-term contract basis, WRT’s complete radiumremoval solution guarantees results.
Guaranteed process performance made simple.
WRT’s radium removal process is designed to be added to any new or existingpotable water system. Water is passed in an upflow mode through a fluidizedbed of Z-88™ media in the treatment columns, where radium is removed bymeans of ion exchange. After the media is loaded with radium, WRT removesit from the proess vessal and permanently disposes of it in a licensed facility.
• No chemicals are added to the water for the removal process
• No liquid waste stream is generated, and no backwash or regeneration cycle is required
• Pre-treatment for iron removal is not required• Minimal maintenance and operation consists of
routine monitoring and sampling• No handling of radioactive materials, media or
chemicals by utility staff• Safe disposal of waste material to licensed
facility by WRT• Not temperature or pH dependent within the
normal range of drinking water• NSF Standard 61 certified for use in drinking
water
Our process offers themost effective andeconomical means ofradium removalutilizing Z-88 media,which is NSF Standard61 certified for use indrinking water.
Radium-laden water flows up through thecolumn at velocities that slightly expand the
bed of Z-88™ media, which is NSF standardcertified for use in drinking water.
