Design and initial operation of Dofasco's CPCM wastewater treatment plant
- Dofasco Inc., Hamilton, Ontario (Canada)
A new coupled picking/cold mill (CPCM) was recently commissioned at Dofasco. The complex produces oily, particulate bearing and acidic wastewaters which must be managed in an environmentally sound manner. Segregation of these streams within the mill and a new wastewater treatment plant satisfy this requirement. The design of the wastewater treatment plant was based on meeting current and anticipated government regulations, incorporating Best Available Technology, maximize reuse/recycle and minimizing operating cost. The treatment plant was commissioned during 1992. Extensive training was provided for operations and maintenance personnel. While start-up took longer than expected and required a number of minor modifications, the plant has consistently met discharge criteria.
