The biotransformation potential of three phytosterols (campesterol, stigmasterol and β-sitosterol) under denitrifying, sulfate-reducing and fermentative/methanogenic conditions was assessed. Using a group contribution method, the standard Gibbs free energy of phytosterols was calculated and used to perform theoretical energetic calculations. The oxidation of phytosterols under aerobic, ...
While the Biomass Stress Index (BSI) parameter is most often used to reveal when a biological population has been subjected to toxicity, it can also indicate when an upstream change has relieved a stressful condition. In this month’s featured case study, a pulp & paper wastewater treatment plant made a change to its papermaking process that changed the properties of the wastewater ...
The proposed process modifications of the pulp and paper mill made it necessary to evaluate the effect of alteration in local wastewater treatment facility owing to increased temperature, increased flow, and higher organic loading. The settleability of the MLSS was evaluated as a function of the elevated operating temperatures. The SVI values at 25- 40 °C were between 115-173 mL/g which is higher ...
Pulp and Paper Wastewater Corrugator Saves $70k Per Year Paper and pulp wastewater treatment doesn't have to be costly and troublesome. Your paper pulp wastewater can be cleanly and effectively treated and reused. The pulp and paper industry is wastewater intensive so there is great potential in wastewater reuse with the correct approach and optimization of the wastewater treatment ...
Abstract The present study evaluated the performance of a static granular bed reactor (SGBR) and an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor at mesophilic conditions under various hydraulic retention times (HRTs) for the treatment of paper mill wastewater. Wastewater was provided by Grand Rapids Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF) in Minnesota, USA. Anaerobic seed granules were obtained ...
The paper mill industry produces high amounts of wastewater and, for this reason, stringent discharge limits are applied for sustainable reclamation and reuse of paper mill industry wastewater in many countries. Submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) systems can create new opportunities to eliminate dissolved substances present in paper mill wastewater including. In this study, a sMBR was ...
Standard discharge, reclaimed water reuse and zero effluent discharge 1. Pulping Wastewater is the most difficult wastewater to be treated in the papermaking industry. The organic pollutants and inorganic salts are high in content, complex in composition, high in hardness, high in costs. The technical staff of JIUWU work with experts from the Institute of Membrane Science and Technology of ...

This paper describes both a specific wastewater rehab project using ultra violet light cured fiberglass CIPP liner and also the advantages that this technology brings to the industry over the current technology of choice used in CIPP within the Untied States. The project was completed in Coronado, CA for the City of Coronado by International Pipe Lining Technologies, ...
Meeting the regulatory discharge standards for pulp and paper mill wastewater has become ever more difficult because of its recalcitrant and colored dissolved organic matter (DOM). In this study, the variation of DOM from the secondary effluent of pulp and paper mill wastewater before and after coagulation was investigated based on hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, apparent molecular weight (MW) ...
At wastewater treatment facilities of various types of manufacturing plants, pollution load monitoring (upstream monitoring) is becoming increasingly important to ensure appropriate and stable operation and water pollution accident prevention. Pollution load varies depending on the operating status of the plant, so continuous monitoring is essential. Continuous and stable measurement of TOC in ...
Evaluation of the changes in physico-chemical properties of soils and crops grown with pulp and paper mill wastewater in field lysimeters were carried out for three years at the Integrated Pulp and Paper Mill, Madhya Pradesh (India). Treated wastewater evaluated for crop irrigation belonged to the irrigation water class 'Moderate to Severe Restriction on use'. Application of wastewater showed the ...
Wastewater treatment services are bound to rather strict environmental regulations. However, as the broad range of wastewater expenditure of communities shows, there is room for discretionary policies of communities. The current paper explores wastewater treatment expenditure of Austrian communities by employing a cross-section econometric model. To a significant extent, demographic, geographic ...
The use of constructed wetlands (CW) to treat domestic as well as industrial wastewater is rapidly emerging as a viable alternative in India. Constructed wetland systems offer several potential advantages as a wastewater treatment process. These advantages include simple operation and maintenance and lower construction and operating costs. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the subsurface ...
The Gippsland Water Factory (GWF), owned and operated by Gippsland Water in south eastern Australia, is a 35,000 m3/day water reclamation facility which treats 16,000 m3/day of domestic wastewater and 19,000 m3/day of industrial (pulp and paper) wastewater through parallel membrane-bioreactor (MBR)-based treatment trains prior to discharge to the Pacific Ocean via the Regional Outfall Sewer. ...
A multivariate analysis technique was used to characterise the interrelationships between the input variables involved in industrial papermaking in order to predict the corresponding wastewater load. The root causes of increasing water pollution load were found to be associated with reprocessing of paper products, pulp stock composition, and inconsistent chemistry for coating operations and paper ...
Abstract Pulp & paper wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) often add nitrogen and phosphorus to ensure optimum performance. If there are insufficient nutrients for bacterial metabolism, an increase in effluent total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and/or chemical oxygen demand (COD) may occur. As well, nutrient deficiency can cause or contribute to acute or chronic ...
Untitled Document Poster sessions at virtually all wastewater conferences these days include papers on breakthroughs in wastewater remediation based on applications of nanotechnology. The environmental benefits offered by this new technology have inspired considerable enthusiasm.Nanotechnology broadly refers to the use of materials and structures with dimensions of ...
High Rate Transpiration System (HRTS) is a well-designed land treatment system composed of ridges and furrows and well-controlled hydraulic loading of wastewater. The present case study describes long-term operating experience of zero discharge of pulp and paper mill wastewater, which is characterised by high BOD, COD, TDS and colour that poses disposal problems into water bodies and on land.
