Wastewater characterization

It should be recognized that the total volume of wastewater as well as the chemical analyses iadicating the organic and inorganic components are requited, backed by statistical validity, before the conceptualizing of the overall treatment plant design can begia. The basic parameters ia wastewater characterization are summarized ia Table 2. 

Wastewater characterization for the aluminum forming industry has been developed on a waste-stream basis, rather than on a subcategory basis. Table 5.2 summarizes the wastewater sources reported for this industry. Wastewater flow rates identified for these sources are presented in Table 5.3. 

The wastewater characterization data for the extrusion die cleaning rinse are summarized by classical and toxic pollutants in Table 5.6. 

Tables 7.2 through 7.5 present raw wastewater characterization data for each general process in each subcategory and for the wastewater in each subcategory when combined into a single representative stream as a whole. Table 7.6 presents raw wastewater flow data for each subcategory.

Table 8.3 presents wastewater characterization data for the streams in this cast iron subcategory.
