Conclusions - Dissolved Oxygen. Continued attainment of DO standards in the Willamette Basin in the face of a current regional growth rate of 1% yr will require continued augmentation of flow as well as pollution control, particularly with respect to ammonia. Based on model results discussed, there appears to be little justification for the installation of advanced wastewater treatment systems in the basin for the purpose of maintaining acceptable DO levels. 

The most important fact is that both the effluent TSS (XJ and effluent soluble BOD5 (S) of the improved wastewater treatment system will meet the governmental effluent standards. 

The evolution of Diesel standards will be discussed and the constraints and limits of Diesel after-treatment systems put in series or in development will be clarified (in particular, those dealing with NO conversion and soot particles removal). 

Overall, EGR and combustion/injection systems constitute the key factors to comply with the EuroIV standards (applied in January, 2005). The EuroIV step exhibits EuroIII NO and soot particles limits divided by 2. Besides, vehicle s weight is always increasing due to the introduction of new safety systems and equipment. Therefore, pollutants emissions increase and a supplementary effort to reach the normative threshold is to be made. To comply with this target, some evolutions have been introduced, as for example multi-injection or water-cooling of the EGR system. The NO,/particle compromise adjustment remains possible for most of the applications without any after-treatment system like the Diesel particle filter (DPF). 

The severity of the Diesel European standards for HC, CO, NOx and PM has a first consequence car manufacturers seem to reach the limits of combustion/injection improvement. Some particle and NOx after-treatment systems will become mandatory in EuroV and EuroVI context. Consequently, this implies a cost and generates a complex implementation. 

Spectrophotometric determination with 4-hexylresorcinol and a fluorometric method with m-aminophenol are the most commonly used procedures for the determination of acrolein. However, gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography procedures are also used (USEPA 1980 Kissel etal. 1981 Nishikawa and Hayakawa 1986). Acrolein concentrations in rainwater between 4 and 200 pg/L can be measured rapidly (less than 80 min) without interference from related compounds the method involves acrolein bromination and analysis by gas chromatography with electron capture detection (Nishikawa and Hayakawa 1986). Kissel etal. (1981) emphasize that water samples from potential acrolein treatment systems require the use of water from that system in preparing blanks, controls, and standards and that acrolein measurements should be made at the anticipated use concentrations. 

Since 1990, several new or revised U.S. environmental regulations, which significantly affect refinery wastewater treatment systems, have been promulgated. The most important ones include the revised Toxicity Characteristics (TC) rule, the Primary Sludge rule, and the Benzene NESHAP (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) rule. These regulations and their impacts on refinery wastewater facilities are briefly discussed below. 

The ammonia SCR for heavy-duty diesel engines has been commercialized by Daimler since 2005 in Europe and the USA under the trade name Bluetec as an after-treatment system able to satisfy the Euro IV and Euro V emission standards. 

Widespread practice has always existed, unfortunately, by owners and operators of cooling systems, or their general contractors and consultants, to specify chemical treatment operating standards in isolation, with little or no actual contact with prospective vendors of water treatment service companies before the issuance of such standards. There is now a growing tendency for particularly low corrosion rates to be specified as a part measure of the quality of water treatment and technical services to be provided in water management contracts (say below 1 mpy for steel in closed-loop systems and below 2 mpy for steel in open-recirculating systems). These low rates are often unattainable in practice. 

Studies are currently being conducted on smoke development and heat release rate from treated and untreated wood and wood products (52,56). An evaluation of the available treatment systems for wood shingles and shakes was completed using artificial weathering (11). A further development from this work was a new ASTM Standard Method D2898 (67,68) for testing durability of fire-retardant treatment of wood. 

From a commercial point of view, there is an environmental downside to the commonly used solvent extraction of aqueous solutions, namely that the extracted aqueous layer needs to be processed (often by no more than stripping volatile solvents) before being sent on to standard wastewater treatment systems. 

If there was no metallie eontamination in the CMP wastewater, then, generally speaking, the waste eould be discharged directly to the POTW without any environmental issues or concern. This was demonstrated in the early days of semiconductor processing before copper interconnects became the industry standard. Since the introduction of copper processing, a whole new industry that provides waste treatment systems has blossomed. 

The three most common and effective treatment systems developed for the POME pubhshed so far are shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11. It has been shown over the last decade that all these systems if operated according to design and maintained properly could meet the local discharge standards for POME as shown in... 

Surface waters include such sources as rivers, lakes and shallow wells. These are typically contaminated with agricultural runoff, discharged pollutants from municipal and other waste treatment systems. In the USA, there are federal standards, as well as state standards that vary from state to state. 

Standard Method 4500-0 describes two methods for determination of dissolved oxygen (DO) in water Winkler s iodometric method and the elecrometric method (Standard Methods, 1998). The iodometric method is very accurate and precise, but the electrometric method is far more convenient for field use (e.g. in wastewater treatment system monitoring and control) and produces an electronic output that can easily be converted to digital form for microprocessor monitoring or control of wastewater treatment systems. Also, electrometric methods are not subject to certain interferences (i.e. oxidation or reduction of the iodine indicator). In addition, the iodometric method end point may be obscured by the presence of turbidity or color in textile wastewater samples. The electrochemical method is almost exclusively used in testing of textile wastewater. 

For some applications, it is important to distinguish between volatile and nonvolatile solids. For example, the bioactive organic portion of mixed liquor suspended solids in secondary activated sludge textile wastewater treatment systems is volatile, whereas grit and other inorganic solids are non-volatile. To determine the volatile component of solids from any of the above three tests, the solid residue is dried to constant weight in a high-temperature muffle furnace at 550 °C (Standard Method 2540 F).
