ABSTRACT
Du Pont operates a large, diversified, organic chemicals plant (Chambers Works) at Deepwater Point in southern New Jersey. Major product groups include aromatic derivatives, aliphatic surfactants, fluorocarbons, elastomers, and petroleum additives. A 40 MM gpd wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) removes pollutants from aqueous wastes generated on site, other Du Pont plants, and commercial facilities. Commercial wastes are received from 32 states, primarily from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. Chambers Works treats about 85% of New Jersey’s hazardous, aqueous waste which is shipped to non-municipal treatment facilities.
