<P>50The Military Engineer L January-February L 2010 nerable, as the laboratory analysis turnaround time is longer and the quality of the local water supply is less reliable. A con- tinuous and real-time water contamination detection system can help safeguard against abnormal water quality. The real-time monitoring system consists of a robust suite of commercial water quality sensors, controllers, a personal computer and a data communication system. Water quality parameters monitored include pH, conductivity, turbidity, chlorine residual (total, combined and free), nitrate, ammo- nia, total organic compounds, dissolved organic compounds, continuous Ultra-Violet Spectral Data and water tempera- tures. Monitoring data are recorded every minute and are transmitted through a wireless modem to a centralized server for data analysis. Monitoring data and data analysis results can be accessed in real time at local work stations through secured web access. Furthermore, an automated text message can be transmitted to operational staffs cell phones for appropriate actions if an event is detected. Estimated investment costs for a system are less than $100,000. The project is being demonstrated un- der the Navys Environmental Sustainability Development to Integration program. (Contributed by Steve Fann, NAVFAC ESC) Fort Jackson Fuel Cells Operational Ten hydrogen fuel cells installed earlier this year now pro- vide backup power for the Fort Jackson, S.C., Directorate of Information Technology, Directorate of Emergency Services and Energy Management Control Center. Each fuel cell con- sists of six hydrogen bottles that last for 12 hours, and replace uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) that used batteries for backup power. There are no carbon emissions from the fuel cell-generated electricity. The Advanced Technology Institute, a division of the South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA), leads the project team for the Fuel Cell Backup Power Demonstration Project. The project is being delivered under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) and ATI. Also, the U.S. Depart- ment of Energy (DOE) is providing funding for the fuel cell equipment under the Departments Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Market Transformation program. SCRA is supporting the in- stallation and integration of the fuel cells under its mandates to support a target center of excellence for hydrogen and fuel cell technology. This $500,000 fuel cell demonstration project assesses the performance, durability and lifecycle costs of commercially- available fuel cell technology operating in a backup power application. After an 18-month performance monitoring pe- riod, Fort Jackson is expected to utilize the fuel cell systems for the remaining duration of the fuel cells performance lives, which could be ?ve years or longer. Early experience with the fuel cells installed at Fort Jackson has been positive, as all ten units performed ?awlessly during several planned and unplanned power outages since installation. The project accelerates the DOE Market Transformation Program, which commercializes and deploys backup power fuel cells, creating jobs in manufacturing, installation, main- tenance and support services. The fuel cells helped Fort Jackson earn the 2009 Palmetto Pillar Award for Green Technology Initiatives in a ceremony earlier this year. The award, presented by the Greater Colum- bia, S.C., Chamber of Commerce Information Technology Council, recognizes a South Carolina Midlands-area green technology-based project.
