Subject THE GCMS ANALYSIS OF WATER SAMPLES FROM THE LAKE CHARLES REFINERY
OBJECT: To Identify organic impurities in the effluent water samples
CONCLUSIONS:
Most of the components were typical of crude oils or heat exchanger fluids. Many aromatic compounds that were below the 10 ppb level were not listed.
The following priority pollutants were detected:

Approximate Concentration
diethyl phthalate dibutyl phthalate fluoranthene chrysene dloctyl phthalate benzof1uoranthene

DISCUSSION:
The quantitative data in this report have been back-calculated and reported on an original-sample basis. Several assumptions have been made. We have assumed 100% extraction efficiencies, no losses in the extraction and Kuderna-Danish concentration steps, 100% purging efficiencies, 100% trapping efficiencies and equal mass spectrometry response factors.
The concentrations of the extractable organics were calculated through the use of a Dio-anthracene internal standard. The solutions were injected with a sample size that would Insure the detection of this internal standard and priority pollutants at the 5 ppb level. This obviously leads to extra polation problems when the sample contains contaminants at the several-thousand ppb level. The reported concentrations, especially the high ones, should be considered order-of-magnitude estimates.
Therefore, the quantitative data contained in this report can only be used as a guide to the relative amounts of material in the samples analyzed. The nature of the samples and the intended use of the analytical data obtained do not justify the cost required to obtain strenuous quantitative results.
The EPA protocol methods call for reporting "between 10 and 100 ppb" or "greater than 100 ppb" for selected priority pollutants. We have chosen to depart from the EPA protocol-reporting procedure by including all organic materials and by reporting rough quantitative information about these contami nants so that intelligent decisions can be made about ways to clean up the plant effluents. If more accurate determinations are needed, cost and man power estimates can be provided.
The Research Triangle Institute and the Gulf South Research Institute have been awarded a $750,000 contract to develop the Master Analytical Scheme (MAS) for the analysis of organics in water. Their procedures are expected to be incor porated into the new EPA protocol. It should be advantageous for us to wait for the MAS, since it is expected to utilize a glass capillary gas chromatography electron impact mass spectrometry data system (GCGCEIMSDS) finish.

EXPERIMENTAL:
Base neutral and acid extracts were provided by the Separations Analysis Group.
The extracted base-neutral and acid concentrates were spiked with deuterated anthracene, which served as an Internal standard.
These extracts were analyzed with the Finnigan 4023 GCMS-DS. The 30M SP2100 glass capillary column was programmed from 60 to 260C at 6/minute.
Internal standards of bromochloromethane and 1,4-dichlorobutane were added to 5 ml of water, the volatile organics were purged with helium, trapped in a silica gel-Tenax absorber tube at room temperature and driven onto the packed column injector by heating the Tenax tube rapidly to 180C. The GC column was a 14" Carbowax (3%) on Chromosorb W followed by 4' Carbowax (.2%) on Carbopack C. The 1/4" thick walled glass column was held below room tempera ture during the thermal elution of the sample from the Tenax column. It was heated rapidly to 60C, held there for .8 minutes, then programmed to 170C at 8/minute. It was held at 170 until the run was finished. Mass spectra were recorded at 1.1 second intervals.
