Advanced Waste Treatment of Industrial Wastewaters for Non-Potable Reuse Using Mobile Treatment Units

摘要

A pilot plant program was conducted to study the applicability of advanced treatment methods (chemical treatment, filtration, activated carbon sorption, ion-exchange, reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis, singly and/or in combination) for industrial wastewaters, and was performed using mobile treatment facilities containing desalting and pretreatment equipment. The study, generated at three industrial sites (paper mill; food products plant; an organic chemicals complex), evaluated the advanced waste treatment methods for upgrading secondary effluent for non-potable industrial reuse. These methods removed residual contaminants such as dissolved and suspended solids, BOD-5, TOD, COD, and color.
