Abstract: Federal and State laws require natural gas pipeline companies to maintain the integrity of their pipelines to protect the public from accidents involving potential failure of the pipelines. The most common procedure used to demonstrate pipeline integrity is hydrostatic testing using water. Waters discharged after completion of a hydrostatic test must typically be managed in accordance with applicable state environmental regulations. The Gas Research Institute sponsored a program to develop industryspecific information on hydrostatic test water discharges and their proper management. The program consisted of a review of state regulatory discharge requirements hydrostatic test water characterization to ascertain the variability and magnitude of the discharge composition, and define sampling/ analytical protocols to properly characterize the discharge treatment investigations to test performance of bench- and full-scale systems, and evaluate the feasibility and economics of alternatives to effect proper treatment/disposal. This paper summarizes the key results derived from this work.
