Arsenic Removal Technology Already Available, Says San Diego Firm
Basin Water has a 550 gpm arsenic removal system in operation at Semitropic Water Storage District in Wasco that has reduced arsenic levels from 34 ppb to non-detect levels (less than approximately 0.5 ppb). The entire system has a small footprint designed for wellhead treatment and requires a minimal amount of electricity to operate.
