Zero Discharge

 

 

In the design of a new Fire Training Ground at Jersey Airport the use of spray evaporation has enabled the system to be operated with the potential to have zero surface water discharge. After fire training practice has finished the highly contaminated runoff is collected and released to a local sewage works at a controlled rate.

Rainfall on a fire training ground can be contaminated with residual fire fighting foams, hydrocarbons and other chemicals, and in the Jersey system this runoff passes through a permeable pavement to be stored in an underground cell beneath the site.
When wind and evaporation conditions are appropriate the stored water is automatically sprayed across the surface and over an annual cycle all rainfall can be managed through evaporation.
