| Description | To comply with stringent standards of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in the early 1970s, a study was undertaken by Amoco's Mandan, North Dakota Refinery to evaluate alternate wastewater treatment systems. This evaluation reviewed carbon adsorption, activated sludge, and expanding the refinery's existing bio-oxidation system. The decision to expand the refinery's existing bio-oxidation system was based on availability of open land with natural drainage, past success of the existing system, and economics. Selecting this option was estimated to cost $250,000 vs. costs of alternate systems ranging from $1 million to $3 million (1972 U.S. dollars).
