Industrial waste impact assessment on domestic activated sludge treatment plants using respirometry

摘要

In the Province of Ontario, the need to treat increasing quantities of sewage through activated sludge secondary and tertiary treatment plants has escalated dramatically during the 1990s. However, the economy is such that enlarging the existing waste pollution control plants or constructing new plants to meet the treatment requirements is unrealistic. In addition, new industries are moving into communities whose pollution control plants have not been involved in the treatment of industrial wastes. The demand on these pollution control plants to process industrial wastes has also intensified.
