Chapter 5: Wastewater Treatability Assessments
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
Treatability assessments are essential to any consideration of industrial wastewater treatment but present a complicated challenge to environmental engineers. This chapter provides an overview of treatability assessment options. Not all options can be covered here, but the basic approaches for conducting biological and physical-chemical tests will be used as illustrations. Because most...

Chapter 7: Management Strategies for Pollution Prevention and Waste Minimization
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
Waste management is a complex problem that affects all aspects of manufacturing businesses and “environmental considerations infuse everything from product design to marketing, from purchasing to product stewardship, from employee relationships to executive compensation” (Ditz, et al., 1995). Pollution prevention exists in three realms...

Chapter 8: Flow and Load Equalization
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
Equalization is the process by which operating parameters (e.g., flow, suspended solids and other pollutants, and temperature) are made more uniform over a given time frame (typically 24 hours) to reduce their downstream effects. While the timing of these spikes depends on the situation, a 30to 60-minute interval is common. This could be made faster or slower, depending on the specific...

Chapter 10: Removal of Fats, Oil, and Grease
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
This chapter examines the need for fats, oil, and grease (FOG) control in industrial wastewater, and the effectiveness and economics of control technologies. Past practices and newer approaches are critically examined so facilities required to remove FOG from their wastewaters can increase the advantages and economic benefits of pretreatment while protecting effluent quality. Pollution prevention...

Chapter 11: pH Control
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
Adjusting a wastewater’s pH is one of the most common processes in an industrial pretreatment system. Because of various acids and bases used in industrial manufacturing, processing, and cleaning operations, most facilities need to adjust the pH of their wastewater before discharging it to surface waters or publicly owned treatment works (POTWs).

Chapter 12: Removal of Inorganic Constituents
Industrial Wastewater Management, Treatment, and Disposal (formerly Pretreatment of Industrial Wastes)
Inorganic constituents are naturally abundant. They enter groundwater and surface water via a variety of geochemical processes (e.g., soil leaching) and human activities (e.g., manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and transportation). High inorganic concentrations in industrial wastewaters are undesirable because they could adversely affect waterbodies, people, and publicly owned treatment...
