| Abstract | The Kimberly Clark Paper Mill wastewater was investigated information about manufacturing processes, water supplies and wastewater
treatment were obtained. It was found that wastewater contained high settle able solids, 1650 mg/l, and low nitrogen, phosphorus and BOD, the
primary sedimentation followed by biological process was suggested for treating this waste. The removal of solids by primary sedimentation was 80% efficient. Extended aeration was operated at a range of organic loading between 0.05 and 0.2 lb BOD per lb MLSS per day. The COD removal efficiency was found to be as high as 85%, while the batch activated sludge
process indicated that the biodegradability of the wastes was 60%, since cellulose was degraded at a much slower rate. The longer the waste
was in the aerator, the more the waste could be treated biologically. Oxidation pond and aerated lagoons, with a detention time of 6 and 1
days, respectively, were adopted, the efficiency of removal of COD were 70% and 80%, respectively. |
