Making Good Bacteria Even Better: Bioaugmentation in Pulp and Paper Wastewater Treatment

摘要

As the world's need for dean, sustainable water sources continues to increase, so does the need for industrial operations to reduce freshwater intake and to efficiently treat wastewater before it is released back into the environment. Pulp and paper manufacturers, as participants in a particularly water-intensive industry, have a special responsibility to control and optimize water use throughout production, from pulp formation, to bleaching and washing, to steam drying. Efficiently producing pollutant-free effluent remains one of the industry's highest priorities.
