Technical Bulletin No. 0511: Simulation of Organic Compound Removal in Biological Wastewater Treatment Processes

The National Council has developed and documented mathematical models of the removal of conventional pollutants in biological wastewater treatment processes utilized by the pulp and paper industry. An extension to the treatment plant performance simulation program is the development of a model of the removal of organic compounds possibly present in mill effluents. This bulletin describes such a model composed of various observed relationships selected by NCASI staff from the published literature describing the removal of selected organic compounds in wastewater treatment processes.
