Thermal Discharge Analysis, Sumbawa, Indonesia

HydroAnalysis completed analyses of a proposed thermal discharge to Benete Bay on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia. The discharge is proposed as part of a larger project to develop a gold and copper mine on Sumbawa. HydroAnalysis predicted the discharge plume and overall temperature rise in the bay as the result of the discharge, evaluating two alternative discharge locations. Client: Mining company through subcontract with AATA International.

Hydrothermal Analysis and Field Study Plan Preparation, Hartford, Connecticut

HydroAnalysis provided an analysis of potential hydrothermal impacts from the discharge of once-through cooling water from the South Meadow Power Station on the Connecticut River, developed a scope of work for field studies of the plume, and assisted in planning and conducting the field study. Client: Northeast Utilities through subcontracts with Environmental Research and Consulting, Inc. and RMC Environmental Services.

NPDES Permitting for Steel Mill Waste Water Discharge, Ohio River, West Virginia

HydroAnalysis assisted client in agency negotiations concerning an application for a 301(g) exemption under the Clean Water Act. We provided technical expertise related to modeling the potential water-quality impacts of phenolics and ammonia. Client: Steel manufacturer through consulting agreement with environmental consulting firm.

Water-Quality Modeling of Bioprocessing Effluent Discharge

HydroAnalysis modeled potential water-quality effects of effluent from a generic-design bioprocessing plant. The analysis considered a variety of esoteric effluent constituents including DNA, RNA, plasmids, and proteins. Modeling was performed with the U.S. EPA WASP model under subcontract to Battelle.
