Technical Bulletin No. 0138: Recent Developments in the Application of the Activated Sludge Process for the Treatment of Pulp and Paper Mill Wastes

Attached you will find a copy of National Council Technical Bulletin No. 138. This is a reprint of an article by Robert L. Laws and Oliver B. Burns, Jr., of the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., Covington, Virginia, mill and covers operating, test and performance procedures of the activated sludge plant treating waste from this mill. It includes also information regarding design and capacities of the individual units of the plant, together with operating costs. Since much of the basic investigational work toward applying this process to pulp mill effluents was done at this plant, the data contained in this bulletin should be of interest to many National Council members.
