Recycle as an alternative to algal TSS and BOD removal from an industrial waste stabilization pond system
- Univ. of Texas, Houston, TX (United States)
Reuse of wastewater is acquiring a more important role in the overall concept of water conservation management. Information on industrial waste stabilization pond (WSP) effluent recycling or reuse for cooling water purposes is virtually nonexistent. This paper presents data from investigations that were conducted to determine the feasibility of recycling a WSP series effluent back within the system for BOD and total suspended solids (TSS) reduction, which were algal in origin, and separately, to evaluate whether recycling the final WSP effluent to the industry`s cooling water ponds would show corrosion compatibility. The second part of this paper contains data developed form analyses of the settling characteristics of the algal standing crop in the industrial WSPs in question to determine the extent to which autosedimentation could occur.
