RK Water delivered a permanent groundwater treatment system for the Union Station North Wing, designed to remediate arsenic, selenium, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) while meeting stringent Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) discharge limits. Operating within a constrained urban environment, the system was engineered to provide consistent, long-term performance while supporting ongoing facility operations with minimal disruption.

The solution incorporates a fully integrated, multi-stage treatment process including filtration, chemical oxidation, granular activated carbon (GAC), and ion exchange. Automated controls and continuous operation ensure reliable treatment performance under varying flow and contaminant conditions. In addition to design and installation, RK Water provides ongoing system operation, monitoring, and compliance reporting, delivering a comprehensive lifecycle solution that reduces operational risk and maintenance demands.

Advanced Multi-Stage Treatment: Combined filtration, oxidation, GAC and ion exchange to address metals and VOCs.

Automated Continuous Operation: 24/7 system functionality with integrated controls and pump sequencing.

Ultra-Low Discharge Compliance: Achieved arsenic levels below 20 ppt and selenium below 4.9 ppb.

Full Lifecycle Support: Ongoing monitoring, sampling and reporting aligned with CDPHE requirements.

Optimized System Performance: Included backwash systems and regenerable ion exchange to maintain efficiency and uptime.
