Atlas F Missile Silo Willsboro NY- Pumping has started!

For Tony, the previous owner who wanted to pump out the silo 22 years ago. After testing the new filters over the winter I was surprised on how well they work. Reduced the "phenols" to undetectable at 14 GPM and also undetectable at 2x nominal flow. So no need to reduce the discharge rate as I was expecting. The plan is pump at the daily limit of 20k GPD at much as I can. Interested to see how much water finds its way back into the Silo, not expecting much, as I have been pumping water from the office sub floor into the same loading bay for 6 months and that has no raised the silo water.

Nice setup. I'm glad you got those all those filters especially carbon filters. The carbon filters are great at captureing PFAS and other chemicals. Thank you for doing your part keeping the environment clean while you uncover history.

That's a very impressive filtration system! I was surprised how quiet it was too.

Them black tanks your using. I used to work at a factory that made them. Idk if them are the same from the same company or not but they look just like the ones we made. I worked in the commercial department and we made way bigger tanks then that and those were made in the residential department. They were always made well but it's cool to see you using them. Neat set up
