MODELING OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT DESIGN FOR PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY: A REVIEW

摘要

Pulp and paper industry is responsible for large discharge of highly polluted effluents. The modeling environment of wastewater treatment plant includes several mathematical techniques, interactive graphic displays, and user-friendly interfaces. In view of the multiple factors and parameters affecting the wastewater treatment plant design, a trial-and-error design procedure is commonly used until each treatment unit's design has been adjusted to the targeted effluent and sludge characteristics which are time consuming and complex. However, in order to take advantage of the possibilities offered by the software's, it is necessary to create the suitable software adjusted to the specific requirements of their application area. Considering these factors and necessity this paper took the review of the existing literature of the modeling processes and various software's available for the design of wastewater treatment plants for pulp and paper industry.
