Contents Notes
The report discusses the investigations of various types of wastewater treatment systems to adequately treat wastes from a polyvinyl chloride plant. Both primary and secondary treatment methods were investigated. Waste equalization; solids removal by chemical coagulation, dissolved air flotation, and clarification; activated carbon adsorption; contact stabilization; completely mixed activated sludge; and various other methods were considered and studied. The report discusses the studies performed with a major emphasis placed on those processes found most applicable to the treatment of PVC wastes. A description of laboratory methods and pilot plant equipment is included. Typical data is presented and interpreted in terms of process design. In addition, full-scale plant operation is discussed in relation to individual unit operations and unit processes. Actual operating data is included. Lastly, wastewater recycle and reuse is included.
