2007 Leo Bankston Ground Water Conservation Award RECIPIENT

Georgia-Pacific Corporation was awarded the outstanding 2007 Leo Bankston Ground Water Conservation Award of the Capital Area Ground Water Conservation Commission. Georgia-Pacific completed several water conservation projects in 2006 that realize a savings of about 2.3 million gallons per day of ground water pumping. One project involved increasing the uptime for using waste water for ash sluicing by accepting more frequent pipe line cleaning. Another project involved the replacement of a faulty level valve in a cooling tower. A significant project, potentially saving about 1,500 gallons per minute and installed in December 2006, involved reusing warm water exiting an evaporative surface condenser as cooling water for a concentrator surface condenser. 

The second condenser is designed to use influent water in a temperature range that includes the effluent temperature of the first condenser. The project included installation of two new control valves and associated piping.
