AU industrial operations produce some wastewaters which must be returned to the environment. Wastewaters can be classified as (1) domestic wastewaters, (2) process wastewaters, and (3) coohng waste-waters. Domestic wastewaters are produced by plant workers, shower facihties, and cafeterias. Process wastewaters result from spills, leaks, and product washing. Coohng wastewaters are the result of various cooling processes and can be once-pass systems or multiple-recycle cooling systems. Once-pass coohng systems employ large volumes... 

The total solids in municipal wastewaters exist in a distribution of sizes from individual ions up to visible particles. Specific analytical procedures have been established to distinguish the suspended fraction of the total solids and to further distinguish the settleable fraction within the suspended solids. A typical concentration of SS (suspended solids) for raw domestic wastewaters is 200 mg/1, but this can vary substantially from system to system. The lower limiting size for the SS fraction (about 1.5 microns) is arbitrarily defined by the test procedures and it should be noted that variations in test procedures themselves can also lead to... 

The part 503 rule applies to biosolids generated from the treatment of domestic wastewater and includes domestic septage. Compliance with the part 503 standards is required within 12 months of publication of the regulation. However, if new pollution control facilities need to be constructed to achieve compliance, then compliance is required by February 19, 1995. Compliance with monitoring. 

The activated sludge process for domestic wastewater treatment was introduced to the world in 1914.1 Since then, many studies have been conducted to improve the oxygen transfer efficiency. Among the aeration devices introduced have been a porous diffuser, a filter type diffuser, a mechanical aeration device, an orifice type diffuser and a fine-pore air diffuser. The aeration market is in a substantial state of flux in the USA today. Emphasis on high efficiency has led many intensive research programmes to aim at the evaluation of the design, operation and control processes to improve overall system performance. 

Finally, to evaluate the membranes, analysis such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM and light scattering were performed at the School of Mineral and Material Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. The last part of the work, testing the produced membrane to remove emulsifier oil from domestic wastewater, was accomplished on a limited budget. An experimental rig and membrane module were required. Also the need for experimental data for the application of the supported membrane may show the real success of this project.

The prudent disposal of large quantities of agricultural and domestic wastewaters is a major concern in our modern society. Raw wastewaters most often contain significant amounts of bioavailable organic substances such as phenols, endocrine... 

Are all emissions and discharges documented in an inventory, for example, process effluent domestic wastewater, cooling water, stack emissions, hazardous wastes, nonhazardous wastes Provide a schedule of emissions. Identify the risk category. 

A strain of yeast and a strain of bacterium were co-immobilized to fabricate a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) sensor based on sol-gel derived composite materials97. This novel type of biosensor was developed for water monitoring and was used to determine the BOD values of OECD synthetic wastewater, domestic wastewater, and lake waters. The microorganisms Trichosporon cutaneum and Bacillus subtilis were coimmobilized in the sol-gel composite material, which was composed of silica and the grafting copolymer of poly (vinyl alcohol) and 4-vinylpyridine (PVA-g-P(4-VP)).

The traditional way of characterizing organic matter in domestic wastewater is in terms of bulk parameters like BOD, COD and TOC. Wastewater characterization by direct measurement of organic constituents has been performed in only a few studies (Nielsen et al., 1992). In these studies, the main components, relevant from a biochemical point of view, have been identified as substances originating from foodstuff ...

The experiment, or preferably a number of parallel experiments, is carried out until the originally available readily biodegradable substrate and the fast hydrolyzable substrate are depleted. For typical domestic wastewater, this is... 

The attitude of alternative agriculture movements to irrigation ranges from outright refusal not to alter natural conditions , to prohibition of using plastic pipes, maybe in the belief that metal or asbestos-cement pipes are less polluting, to reject of re-using treated domestic wastewaters, to acceptance, in a more realistic mood. 

De Voogt et al. [16] and Belfroid et al. [17] compared the levels of APEOs in domestic and industrial wastewaters in The Netherlands. The average concentration of APEOs, in 12 samples of domestic wastewater, collected in 1999, was 32.3 pg L-1, while in three samples of industrial wastewater the average concentration reached 7600 pg L-1. 

Alkylphenol derivatives in the Mediterranean Sea The behaviour of lipophilic metabolites of AgPEO in the Venice lagoon, Italy, was studied in detail by Marcomini et al. [2,3]. Salinity in this estuary is in the range of 25-35%o, and both industrial and domestic wastewater is discharged into the lagoon. Water samples were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FL) [2]. 

In a more recent study in the same area, AgPEO water concentrations of <0.2-4.8 pg L-1 were found using LC-MS analysis. In the same study, other coastal areas of Spain showed maximum concentrations of 11 xg L-1 at a site that receives large amounts of industrial and domestic wastewater. For NP a concentration range of <0.15-4.1 p.gLT1 was reported, and AgPE/l were below detection limits (0.19 p.g L-1) in all samples [9]. 

Other non-ionic surfactants in the Mediterranean Sea Data on the marine occurrence of non-ionic surfactants other than APEO is very limited. Petrovic et al. reported alcohol ethoxylate (AE) concentrations along the coast of Spain of <0.1-15 p,g L-1 and coconut diethanol amide (CDA) concentrations of <0.05-24 p,g L-1, the highest concentrations present at sites receiving high amounts of industrial and domestic wastewater [9],... 

In an area where domestic wastewater was discharged through cesspools, Crescenzi et al. [76] could identify LAS and DATS in a groundwater sample. After preconcentration of the aqueous sample on a graphitised carbon black (GCB) cartridge, co-extracted basic, neutral and weakly acidic compounds were removed from the cartridge by a...
